Look at this ad in a shooting magazine

I guess I'm different; my eyes went here first..

I could really give a rip about the rest of the picture. FWIW, their PH2 is also a fine rifle that's relatively light and well made. By the time you take a 700 or model 70 and put a good trigger on it and upgrade the stock; you're just about there in terms of cost.

I would have suggested reducing the ad size (also significantly reducing cost) to 1/3 page, using a larger photo of the rifle and more specs.

I never know what is AI created crap anymore. It seems you can`t trust a picture with all the changes that can be made. I don`t care for the ad because I`ve never seen anyone dress like that where I hunted.

Now you know how to identify an AI created image! Cheap bas***ds didn't want to pay a proper artist so they went that way and look what they got! call it semi-AI

Obviously someone has some heartburn with Seekins with your whining posts. Lol

Nah I just dont like to see computer nerds pretend like they have been saddle sore. (from horses)

Looks like maybe out the Zumwalt out Buckhorn lookout way overlooking the Imnaha. Similar look anyhow.

Could just as well be on the Idaho side, breaks of the Snake or Salmon.

The face on the horse looks like he's embarrassed! View attachment 1581471

I don’t know where any of you are coming from?…. I live where the picture was taken and that’s exactly what the breaks of the snake river looks like and since Seekins is made in Lewiston Idaho where the snake river runs why would they take a picture in Nebraska?…. Everyone around here dresses similarly, I wear a real cowboy hat but that one is fine, I also wouldn’t wear shotgun chaps although I own a set I would wear chinks, I wouldn’t saddle a horse without a rope. I ride mules but we’re right in the middle of the Nez Perce Indian reservation so having an Applause horse seems reasonable to me. The other picture someone posted was of a Seekins rifle on a fence post, since there business is up by the airport that’s where they took the picture. With all the crap going on in the world you would think there’s more important things to argue about. Maybe he should have an Atv with $1100 worth of camo on and a stupid backpack full of unnecessary stuff maybe then it would be more authentic……

Seekins is 2.7 miles west of my childhood home, wherein my 93-year-old mother still lives. I thought the country looked familiar.

You know I think it is actually from the Idaho side. The sun appears from over his left shoulder.

That horse looks like a good solid bomb-proof horse that'll pack elk or whatever he's asked to do. He's one that'll keep you safe and not get you killed. I'd be glad to have him. JMO.

If they wanted to look authentic in the image they should have had used chaps that were broken in, same for the jacket and hat. The stance, it looks posed and the dude looks like he just came out of a bath and put on new clothes.

If I was forced to bet, I'd go with a stock landscape shot pieced together, the man and the horse added later. There's a reasonable chance that the man and the horse were added separately. I suspect that the horse was stretched non-proportionly.

That's typical ad today assembly, they get away with it because the younger generation rarely see anything in print and have very little experience with images. It will get worse.

I cannot imagine my Father (we had registered Joker B Appys when I was growing up) roaching a mane on one of our horses...
Can't be a mule, them ears are about six inches too short.

Not quite. It is short one item to make it a typical ad of today: the dude is caucasian!

Really like my Seekins Havak Bravo in 6.5CM, no comment on the ad.

I tried, but I don't understand this thread.

Traditionalists vs the modern ‘gunsmith’ whose first lathe was a computer. Artists who paint original works vs computer generated plagiaristic images.

Gotcha. Thanks.

My concern is how he cleaned that rifle....
