Description
There are lightweight hunting rifles, and then there is what Seekins has been doing with the Element line. The Havak Element M3 is built around their hybrid action, aluminum where you can save weight and hardened steel where the pressure lives, and this version chambers it in 25 Creedmoor, a cartridge that has quietly won over a lot of Western hunters with its flat trajectory, mild recoil, and high-BC quarter-bore bullets. The 20 inch carbon fiber wrapped 416R stainless barrel runs a fast 1:7 twist to stabilize the heavy 25 caliber projectiles this round was designed around, and it comes threaded 5/8×24 with a Hunter muzzle brake already on it.
What Makes the Element M3 Different
The M3 generation brought some genuinely useful updates. The three-lug bolt with a 60 degree throw cycles fast and gives your scope's ocular bell plenty of clearance, and the patent-pending Quick-Change Barrel Collar means barrel swaps no longer require a trip to a gunsmith. The action footprint is shared across Seekins' current rifle lineup, so the platform can grow with you. A 20 MOA Picatinny rail with a built-in bubble level is machined right into the action, which is one less set of screws to worry about and a nice touch for long-range work.
Havak 25 Creedmoor, Dressed for the Field
The Seekins carbon composite stock wears the hand-painted Woodland Shadow finish and includes an adjustable cheekpiece, so you can get a proper cheek weld even with taller scope mounts. Full-length M-LOK along the fore-end handles bipods, slings, and whatever else you carry. A crisp TriggerTech trigger, user adjustable from 2.5 to 5 pounds, and a 3-round detachable magazine round out a rifle that is every bit as at home stretched out on steel as it is above the timberline. Seekins designs, machines, and test-fires these in-house, and backs them with their lifetime guarantee.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the 25 Creedmoor good for, and why chamber the Havak Element M3 in it?
The 25 Creedmoor is essentially the 6.5 Creedmoor case necked down to shoot modern high-BC quarter-bore bullets. It delivers a flat trajectory with noticeably light recoil, which makes it a great fit for deer, antelope, and long-range steel. The Element M3's fast 1:7 twist barrel is cut specifically to stabilize the heavier 25 caliber bullets that make this cartridge shine.
Can I run a suppressor on the Seekins Havak Element M3?
Yes. The 20 inch barrel is threaded 5/8×24, which is the standard pitch for most rifle suppressors and muzzle devices in this bore size. The factory Hunter muzzle brake spins right off so you can mount your can directly or with a compatible adapter.
Does the Element M3 really let you change barrels yourself?
It does. Seekins built the M3 around a patent-pending Quick-Change Barrel Collar that lets you swap barrels without sending the rifle off to a gunsmith. Paired with interchangeable bolt heads, the same action can move between calibers, which makes this a genuinely flexible platform down the road.
Do I need to buy a scope base for this rifle?
No. The Element M3 has a 20 MOA Picatinny rail machined directly into the action, along with a built-in bubble level to help you keep the rifle plumb on longer shots. All you need is a set of rings and your optic, and the adjustable cheekpiece makes it easy to get proper eye alignment once it is mounted.
