This rifle uses an aluminum-and-steel hybrid action with a three-lug, 60-degree bolt throw and Seekins’ patent-pending Quick-Change Barrel Collar, making it easy to swap barrels in the field. The Seekins Precision Element M3 HAVAK 300 Win Mag 22-inch ships with a TriggerTech user-adjustable trigger, a Hunter muzzle brake, and a PH3 carbon composite stock with an adjustable cheek riser and an integrated full-length M-LOK section.

Key Features
- Quick-Change Barrel Collar: Why it matters: You can swap barrels in minutes without a gunsmith, ideal for extending barrel life or switching calibers on the same action.
- Three-Lug 60-Degree Bolt Throw: Why it matters: Faster cycling and more scope clearance than traditional 90-degree bolts, letting you stay on target for follow-up shots.
- PH3 Carbon Composite Stock: Why it matters: It’s lightweight yet rigid, with an adjustable cheek riser and a full-length M-LOK section to mount bipods, slings, or NV gear without extra rails.
- TriggerTech Trigger: Why it matters: User-adjustable from 1.5 to 4 pounds, giving you a crisp, creep-free break that improves accuracy at distance.
Who It’s For
This rifle is for the hunter who hikes miles into the backcountry and the long-range shooter who wants a lightweight platform for steel matches. It’s also for first-time precision shooters who want a modular, serviceable rifle that grows with their skills. If you’re tired of heavy custom builds that are a pain to maintain, the HAVAK keeps it simple.
Pros & Cons
- Pro: Sub-7-pound weight makes it easy to carry all day.
- Pro: Quick-change barrel system extends the rifle’s lifespan and versatility.
- Pro: TriggerTech trigger is one of the best out-of-the-box triggers on a production rifle.
- Con: The 22-inch barrel is shorter than some competitors’ 24- or 26-inch options, which may reduce muzzle velocity by about 50-75 fps with factory loads. For most shooters, the weight savings outweigh the speed loss.

FAQ
Does this rifle come with a scope or rings?
No. The Seekins HAVAK ships as a barreled action and stock only. You’ll need to add your own scope, rings, and base. The receiver has an integral Picatinny rail, so any standard scope mount works.
Can I use standard 300 Win Mag ammo in this rifle?
Yes. It feeds from AICS-pattern magazines and cycles factory 300 Win Mag loads reliably. The 1:10 twist rate handles bullets from 150 to 220 grains.
How hard is it to change the barrel?
Very easy. Loosen the two screws on the barrel collar, slide the old barrel out, slide the new one in, and retighten. No headspace gauges needed—the collar locks the barrel into the correct position every time.
Is this rifle good for a left-handed shooter?
The standard model is right-handed. Seekins does offer left-handed versions, but they are made to order. Check with your dealer for availability.
What is the warranty on this rifle?
Seekins Precision offers a limited lifetime warranty on the action and stock. The barrel is covered for one year against defects. Per Seekins, normal wear and barrel erosion are not covered.
