GEAR REVIEWS FROM THE EXPERTS

SEEKINS PRECISION HAVAK BRAVO

$1,950 • seekinsprecision.com

Priced just under two grand, this rifle is ready to compete in the PRS Production Class—or be the most accurate hunting rifle you own. It runs on Glen Seekin’s slick Havak action mated to a KRG Bravo Chassis stock. The 24-inch barrel comes threaded for a brake or suppressor. It also has an adjustable Timney trigger. You can get it in 6 Creed, 6.5 Creed, .308 Win., or 6.5 PRC. The one I shot, in 6 CM, averaged .608-inch five-shot groups with factory ammo.

MAGNETOSPEED RIFLEKUHL BARREL COOLER

$60 • magnetospeed.com

The small fan in this unit buzzes like a mosquito next to your ear, but in this case it’s a welcome sound. By forcing air down the barrel, it cools your rifle quickly after you shoot. The Riflekuhl is great for intense range sessions in hot weather and for use between stages in competition. It also serves as a chamber flag. Bring extra CR123 batteries along, because it goes through them pretty quickly.
