Description
Seekins Precision built its reputation on the original HAVAK Element, and the Element M3 pushes that design further in ways that matter when you're miles from the truck. The heart of the rifle is still the aluminum and steel hybrid action that keeps weight down without giving up rigidity, but the M3 adds a three-lug bolt with a fast 60-degree throw and a patent-pending quick-change barrel collar. That collar is the headline feature here. Swap barrels and calibers yourself without a trip to a gunsmith, which turns one rifle into a whole-season platform.
What the Element M3 Brings to the Field
This version is chambered in .308 Win / 7.62 NATO with a 20 inch carbon-fiber wrapped 416R stainless steel barrel in a 1:11.25 twist. The muzzle comes threaded 5/8×24 and wears Seekins' Hunter brake out of the box, so you can run the brake or spin on a suppressor. The action carries an integrated 20 MOA Picatinny rail with a built-in bubble level, and the fore-end has full-length M-LOK for bipods, ARCA adapters, or whatever your setup calls for. The bolt is toolless removable, which makes cleaning at camp about as painless as it gets.
A Stock and Trigger That Pull Their Weight
The PH3 carbon composite stock includes an adjustable cheek riser so you can get proper eye alignment behind bigger hunting scopes, and this one comes finished in Seekins' Woodland Shadow paint. The trigger is a TriggerTech unit that's user adjustable from 2.5 to 5 pounds, so you can set it crisp for the bench or a touch heavier for cold-weather gloves. Feeding comes from a 3-round carbon fiber magazine.
Why Hunters Keep Picking the HAVAK Element M3
Seekins designs, machines, and test-fires every HAVAK in-house in Idaho, and backs it with their no-questions-asked lifetime warranty. For backcountry hunts, timber stands, or steel out past where most rifles get comfortable, this is a serious tool that carries like a light rifle and shoots like a heavy one.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I really swap barrels on the HAVAK Element M3 myself?
Yes, that's the whole point of Seekins' patent-pending quick-change barrel collar. It lets you change barrels and calibers at home without headspace gauges or a gunsmith, and Seekins publishes open-source headspace and tenon specs. Since it's a short action, you can move between compatible short-action chamberings like 6.5 Creedmoor or 6mm Creedmoor with the right barrel and bolt setup.
Is the Seekins Element M3 suppressor ready?
It is. The 20 inch barrel is threaded 5/8×24, which is the standard pattern for most .30 caliber suppressors and muzzle devices. It ships with the Seekins Hunter muzzle brake installed, so you can run the brake to tame recoil or remove it and thread on a can.
Do I need to buy scope bases for this rifle?
No, the Element M3 has a 20 MOA Picatinny rail machined right into the action, complete with an integrated bubble level to help you avoid canting on longer shots. All you need are rings sized for your scope tube. The 20 MOA of built-in elevation also gives you extra adjustment room for stretching the .308 out at distance.
How adjustable is the trigger on the HAVAK Element M3?
The rifle comes with a TriggerTech trigger that the user can adjust from 2.5 to 5 pounds. TriggerTech's design gives a crisp, clean break with minimal overtravel, which is a big part of why these rifles shoot so well from field positions. Set it light for range work or heavier for gloved hands in cold weather.
