Description
Seekins built its reputation on the original HAVAK Element, the rifle that proved an aluminum and steel hybrid action could hang with anything in the backcountry. The Element M3 takes that idea further. The headline feature is the patent-pending Quick-Change Barrel Collar, which lets you swap barrels and change calibers without sending the rifle off to a gunsmith. Add a toolless removable three-lug bolt with a fast 60-degree throw and you have an action that cycles quick, clears low-mounted scopes, and adapts to wherever your hunting takes you next.
Why the Element M3 Carries So Well in 300 PRC
The 300 PRC is a serious long-range cartridge, and this rifle carries it like something much smaller. The 22 inch carbon fiber wrapped 416R stainless barrel sheds real weight over a traditional steel contour while managing heat on longer strings. A 1:10 twist stabilizes the heavy, high-BC bullets the 300 PRC was designed around, and the action allows extended cartridge overall length up to 3.9 inches, so handloaders can seat those long projectiles the way the cartridge intended. The included Hunter muzzle brake takes real bite out of recoil, and the 5/8×24 threading means a suppressor spins right on if that is your preference.
PH3 Stock and Field-Ready Details
The Seekins PH3 carbon composite stock keeps things light and stiff, with an adjustable cheek riser to get your eye lined up behind bigger optics. A full-length M-LOK rail under the fore-end handles bipods, ARCA adapters, or a sling stud wherever you want them, and the integrated 20 MOA Picatinny rail with a built-in bubble level makes scope mounting simple and keeps your cant in check on long pokes. Feeding comes from a 3-round carbon fiber detachable magazine.
A HAVAK Element M3 Built for Elk Country
In Mountain Shadow, this rifle looks the part and hunts the part. It is the kind of setup you grab when the plan involves steep ground, heavy animals, and shots that might stretch out. Seekins backs it with their no-questions-asked lifetime warranty, which says plenty about how they build them.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I swap barrels on the HAVAK Element M3 myself?
Yes, that is one of the biggest draws of the M3. The patent-pending Quick-Change Barrel Collar is designed for user barrel swaps, and Seekins publishes open-source headspace and tenon specs so you can change calibers or replace a shot-out barrel without a trip to a gunsmith. The bolt head is also removable without tools, so you can go between magnum and standard bolt faces.
How is the recoil with 300 PRC in a rifle this light?
The 300 PRC brings real energy, but the included Hunter muzzle brake takes a big chunk of the punch out, and the PH3 stock geometry helps you stay behind the rifle. If you prefer running quiet, the 5/8×24 threaded muzzle accepts most common suppressors, which also tames recoil nicely. Most folks find it very manageable for a mountain gun in a magnum chambering.
What twist rate does the Element M3 in 300 PRC use, and what bullets does it like?
The 22 inch barrel runs a 1:10 twist, which is the standard for 300 PRC and stabilizes the heavy, high-BC bullets in the 200 to 230 grain range that this cartridge is known for. The action also allows an extended cartridge overall length up to 3.9 inches, so long-seated factory loads and handloads feed properly from the magazine.
Does the Seekins Element M3 come with a magazine?
Yes, it ships with one 3-round carbon fiber detachable magazine sized for the 300 PRC. The lightweight carbon construction fits the whole theme of the rifle, keeping ounces off where it counts. Spare magazines are available if you want a backup in your pack.
