Description
The .22 Creedmoor has become the darling of coyote hunters and long-range varmint guys for good reason. It launches heavy .224 bullets at eye-opening speeds, and even out of this 20 inch tube you can expect 88 grain match bullets to run right around 3,200 fps. Pair that kind of velocity with a rifle built the way Seekins builds them and you end up with a flat-shooting, mild-recoiling setup that makes hits on called-in dogs and distant prairie targets feel almost unfair. The 1:8 twist stabilizes the heavy, high-BC bullets that make this cartridge shine, so you are not stuck feeding it lightweight varmint pills.
What Makes the Havak PH3 Different
The PH3 action is the smoothest thing Seekins has put out. The 3-lug bolt runs a short 60 degree throw, so you can cycle fast without your hand fighting the scope, and the bolt comes apart without tools for cleaning. The receiver wears an integrated 20 MOA Picatinny rail up top and a full-length M-LOK rail underneath the forend, which means direct mounting for your optic, bipod, and whatever else you carry into the field. Seekins also built in their quick-change barrel system with open-source headspace and tenon specs, so swapping calibers or replacing a shot-out barrel down the road is genuinely doable without shipping the rifle off.
Built for the Mountain, Finished in Mountain Shadow
The carbon composite stock keeps weight sensible for a rifle you might pack all day, and the adjustable cheek riser lets you get your eye behind bigger optics without stacking foam and tape. The fluted 416R stainless barrel is threaded 5/8×24, ready for a brake or suppressor, and the TriggerTech trigger adjusts from 2.5 to 5 pounds so you can set it exactly where you like it. The Mountain Shadow finish looks sharp and blends into open country.
A 22 Creedmoor That Earns Its Keep
Feeding from a 3-round magazine and backed by Seekins' no-questions-asked lifetime warranty, this is the kind of rifle that gets handed down, not traded in. If predators and long-range steel are your thing, this one checks every box.

Frequently Asked Questions
How fast does the 22 Creedmoor shoot from the PH3's 20 inch barrel?
Owners running this exact setup report 88 grain ELD Match bullets right around 3,200 fps and 90 grain A-Tips near 3,050 fps from the 20 inch tube. That is screaming fast for a .224 bullet with that much ballistic coefficient. Factory Hornady loads land in the same neighborhood, so you do not have to handload to get the performance.
Is the Seekins Havak PH3 suppressor ready?
Yes. The 20 inch fluted stainless barrel comes threaded 5/8×24, which covers the vast majority of rifle suppressors and muzzle brakes on the market. The shorter barrel length also keeps overall length manageable once a can is attached, which is a big part of why a lot of buyers pick the 20 inch version over the 24.
Can I swap barrels on the Havak PH3 myself?
That is one of the headline features of this rifle. The PH3 uses Seekins' quick-change barrel system with open-source headspace and tenon specs, and the 3-lug bolt disassembles without tools. With prefit barrels available, changing calibers or replacing a worn barrel is something you can handle at home rather than sending it to a gunsmith.
What is the 22 Creedmoor best suited for?
It was built with predator and varmint hunting in mind, and it has become a favorite for coyotes thanks to its flat trajectory, minimal wind drift, and light recoil. The 1:8 twist in this PH3 handles the heavy 75 to 90 grain bullets that give the cartridge its long-range punch. Plenty of folks also use it for steel and long-range target work since spotting your own impacts is easy with so little recoil.
