Yes. All of there bolt guns are in the Havak line. PH2 (what mine is) is the regular hunting line, 6.9lbs short action. Element is the ultralight mountain rifle, 5.5 lbs short action. HIT is the caliber quick change by owner precision chassis system. A HIT PRO in 6.5 PRC is next on my list  |

The rifle comes with a rail (I prefer rails/rings for degree of adjustability anyway) and I will probably use the Seekins low rings. They are the same as the Vortex PMR rings (Seekins makes them for Vortex but the Seekins rings are a little cheaper). Hopefully I'll be shooting by the weekend!!! |

I just put some Hawkins rings on my new build and so far I really like them. I have a set on my Tikka and really like them. They are built here in Colorado Springs and we have been able to shoot with the owner and a VP at a local range. Great guys that can SHOOT!! This scope is a 1" tube so no joy on Hawkins. |

Yeah.
I’ve also got the Hawkins Hunter dbm magazine.
So far I like it as well.
It’s all housed in a temporary Remington stock waiting on my Manners EH1 to get finished.
Gonna be mean looking.

Got to the range yesterday for a break in and prelim zero shoot. The scope was very easy to adjust, my bore sight wasn't horrible and I was close to bullseye in just 3 shots. I was doing the shot-patch-wait break in taking my time. Once I started trying to put groups together I started to get happy as the gun likes the ammo (Barnes 140 gt OTMB) that I got a bunch of for free!! I put together some nice groups. In these pics the 3 shot the with dime was the typical group I got and the other is the best I got. So regularly +- .5" on the break in session.....I am VERY happy so far  flic.kr/p/2oL27s3flic.kr/p/2oKW8ER |
