Seekins Havak HIT: Multi-caliber sharpshooter

Introduction

I remember decades ago when multi-caliber was looked upon as a fools errand by the precision rifle community. It was considered a superfluous feature that brought more problems than it solved. Keep in mind this was the same community that thought rifle scopes with MRAD reticles and MOA turrets were a great combination. Today’s manufacturing technology has made it ever easier to make the multi-caliber option an easy reality. And in our story today, I present to you one of these modern marvels; the Seekins Precision Havak HIT.

Another HIT from Seekins

Seekins Precision is a long-standing big name in the precision shooting community. I remember back when Glen Seekins sold his products to the rest of us on shooting forums. In the decades since his business has become a giant in the industry, so it comes as no surprise to at least this author that Seekins has developed such a great line of shooting products.

The Seekins Havak HIT is a chassis gun built around the Seekins HIT action. The action itself features a flat bottom and built-in recoil lug. Up top it has a 20 MOA integral scope rail for optics mounting. Inside the action you will find a spirally fluted bolt, which can be disassembled without tools. Using dual stacked bolt-lugs the HIT has four engagement surfaces and a ninety degree bolt throw.
Tool-less bolt disassembly is handy because swapping bolt-heads is all part of this rifle’s multi-caliber personality. Changing out the barrel itself is done by loosening a lock screw, and threading the barrel out. Again, the precise modern machining allows for tight tolerances between parts. This is what makes it possible to jump back and forth between barrels.

Next up was a Harris bipod that attached perfectly to the chassis M-Lok slots with a KDG Kinect QD Mount, and lastly I attached a sling using the QD cups cut into the chassis at various places.
