Seekins Havak vs. Bergara Highlander

[Gobears16]

If it were me and this was solely a pack rifle and shots under 500yards I would pick a Barrett Fieldcraft in 30-06 and shoot 165 Berger's. Rifle weight is 5.6lbs and with a razor LH 3-15 all up would be under 7lbs. Everything I've feed mine is well under MOA and mostly sub.5.

I know you didn't list as an option but maybe give it a look. I love my seekins in 6 creed, but all-up its over 9lbs and I wouldn't want to pack that deep into the woods.

Or a fieldcraft in 280AI maybe?

Even better wasn't sure if they are making it yet or not, I heard they were planning on it. The fit and finish of those rifle are amazing and they blow away Kimber Montana in out of the box accuracy. Only down fall is blind mag.

So the dangerous thing about polls is that people cast their votes without any experience with either rifle...cough, cough, me.

Both will serve you well. I saw a guy at a comp win with a Bergara premier in 6CM. Beat guys with 3-4K rifles.

My premier approach in 6mm puts the hornady match stuff in a nice small clover leaf all day long.

Little update. I went with the Havak. I bought it off of a member here. It shoots great! I'm more that pleased with it. I topped it with a NF NX8 4-32 in Seekins rings. It slings the 215 hybrids a little north of 3000 FPS. At .36 Moa at a 100. I've taken three deer this season so far. Hoping to head to northern Colorado in the next couple years for elk with it. Thanks to all that replied.
