In my opinion, there's no reason to wait for a rifle right now with the market being like it is. What is it about Seekins that draws you to that brand? What sort of configuration are you looking for?
If I needed a rifle right now, I'd buy a complete BCM upper (in whatever configuration I preferred) and build a stripped lower of my choosing. You'd have a damned good rifle for at or under $1,000.

SEEKINS makes good stuff for sure, but I don't think I'd wait for one of their rifles when you can build your own with SEEKINS parts. Also SWFA makes a rifle that is branded for them, but all the parts are SEEKINS parts. LINK

I built a clone to one because of your same feedback you got. I Might be willing to part with because I might go in a different direction

Not all Seekins but it's about 80%. It does have a Shilen bbl and Magpul stock.

Legos. I use lots of seekins and mega parts but I have never gotten any junk from Rainier, Palmetto State or even JSE. Use what you want to build what you want.

nice!!! where do you buy the parts? Direct from manufacturer or dealers? who puts them together? SWFA is where I buy all of my Seekins parts, as well as optics and other parts/accessories. They have great prices, employees are members here, they're located in Texas so shipping is really quick. Note: they're online inventory is not live, so give them a call to order. Also, use THF8 as a promo code and get 8% off your order, or use THFFS for free shipping.
