If you’ve been following the world of high-end bolt action rifles, you already know that Seekins Precision has established itself as one of the top names in the industry. Their rifles are renowned for pinpoint accuracy, rock-solid reliability, and a fit-and-finish that leaves even the most discriminating shooters impressed. It’s not often that a company decides to discontinue a lineup that’s already among the best in the business—yet that’s exactly what Seekins Precision is doing. Why? Because founder and CEO Glen Seekins has an all-new design that pushes performance, modularity, and user-friendliness to a whole new level.

In my recent trip to the Seekins Precision facility in Lewiston, Idaho, I had the chance to sit down with Glen for an in-depth, behind-the-scenes conversation. He walked me through the engineering and R&D process that prompted his team to sunset the entire Havak bolt action series, including beloved models like the PH2 and the Element, in favor of something stronger, smoother, and more future-proof.

Higher Pressure Capabilities & 60° Bolt Throw
One of the biggest revelations Glen shared is that the new Seekins actions are purpose-built to handle emerging, higher-pressure cartridges such as the Sig 277 Fury. By incorporating features like a three-lug bolt with more engagement and exotic steel, smaller dual ejectors, a sliding extractor, and a reinforced chamber area, these rifles are designed to thrive in the next era of high-velocity rounds. In addition, the new 60° bolt throw makes for a shorter, smoother lift that stays clear of your scope. The result? An action that’s noticeably slicker, smoother, and more comfortable to run—particularly when cycling rounds quickly in competition or the field.

Modular Mini-Chassis & No More Glass Bedding
The new Seekins rifles also feature an innovative mini-chassis system integrated directly into the stock. This means flat, perfectly matched surfaces that eliminate the need for traditional glass bedding. You can remove and reinstall your barreled action as many times as you like without worrying about cracking or damaging any bedding compound. Plus, because each rifle shares the same footprint, it’s now incredibly simple to switch stocks or move from a lightweight hunting configuration to a fully tricked-out competition chassis—and back again—whenever you want.

Tool-Free, Quick-Change Barrels
For those who love to tinker or demand absolute versatility, Seekins has built-in a tool-free, quick-change barrel system. Want to swap from 6.5 Creedmoor to 6.5 PRC? It’s as simple as loosening a single clamp screw, hand-tightening the new barrel, and re-torquing that screw—no specialized barrel vice or gunsmith required. This level of on-the-fly flexibility is perfect for anyone looking to switch between hunting and long-range precision roles, or even to experiment with multiple caliber options.
Fully Adjustable Cheekpiece & Folding Stock Options
In response to user feedback, the new Seekins stocks offer an integrated, push-button adjustable cheekpiece—no wrenches or hex keys needed in the field. Now, whether you’re fine-tuning your cheek weld for a shot at the range or quickly clearing debris from your bolt after a slip in the mud, you can do so in a snap. Moreover, optional folding stocks (like on the Hunter Element or HIT lines) offer portability and easy stowage without compromising stability or comfort.

Same Great Pricing & HIT Shipping Soon
Despite these extensive upgrades—stronger materials, refined ergonomics, and advanced features—the new rifles will retail for about the same price as outgoing models. And if you’ve had your eye on the HIT line, there’s more good news: Glen mentioned that the latest HIT rifles will begin shipping in the next week. You’ll be able to experience Seekins Precision’s revamped action and innovative design concepts sooner than you might think.
In our exclusive interview video, you’ll see Glen tear down a bolt in mere seconds—completely tool-free—and walk us through all the major design improvements. You’ll also get a quick tour of their cutting-edge facility, including the 100-yard test tunnel and high-tech manufacturing area. If you’re curious about how Seekins is pushing the boundaries of modern rifle design, this is one conversation you won’t want to miss.

I probably missed it somewhere, but when say they are “discontinuing all rifles in favor of this new one”, does that mean they’re going to stop selling ARs/receivers as well?
My guess(and hope) is they won’t do that, but i didn’t see a clear answer to that question.
With the focus on modularity and quick-change barrels, how does Seekins Precision ensure accuracy and consistency when swapping barrels? Does the system require any re-zeroing after a barrel change, and if so, how much is typically required?
Have they tested the POI shift when you switch calibers? For example, suppose you have a 6.5 CM in the hunter type stock that is zeroed. When you change bolt heads and barrels and move that action/scope to the HIT chassis can you just dial the dope change for how that HIT version was shooting/zeroed before?
Great news!
However, I do think your example on the quick change barrels wasn’t completely thought through. Going from a 6.5 Creedmoor to a 6.5 PRC involves more than just swapping barrels. While they both use the same action, the Creedmoor has a standard bolt-face while the PRC has a magnum bolt-face. The bottom metal and magazine would likely have to change as well.
Mark you are correct. The the bolt head and magazine do need to be changed for that caliber swap but they can be. Watch the video and you’ll see Glen show how to swap bolt head without tools in about 30 seconds.
Seekins is firing on all cylinders. A big OEM with high volume that was as committed to innovation would dominate the market.
