Description
Seekins Precision changed a lot of minds about what a lightweight hunting action could be when the original HAVAK Element dropped, and the Element M3 pushes that idea further. The heart of this rifle is a hybrid action that pairs aluminum with hardened steel where it counts, keeping weight down without giving up the rigidity you need for consistent long-range hits. The three-lug bolt runs a short 60 degree throw, so cycling is quick and your knuckles clear the scope, and the bolt pulls out without tools for easy cleaning in camp.
What Sets the Element M3 Apart
The patent-pending quick-change barrel collar is the headline feature here. Swap barrels or calibers without sending the rifle off or wrestling with a barrel vise, which turns one rifle into a whole toolbox. This one comes wearing a 22 inch carbon fiber wrapped 416R stainless barrel with a 1:10 twist, threaded 5/8×24 and topped with Seekins' Hunter muzzle brake to tame the .300 PRC's push. The action also runs an extended magazine length, letting you seat those long, high-BC bullets the way the cartridge was designed for, fed from the included 3-round carbon fiber magazine.
Built for the Mountain, Dressed in Woodland Shadow
The PH3 carbon composite stock sits in a Seekins mini chassis and brings an adjustable cheek riser for proper eye alignment behind bigger optics, plus a full-length M-LOK forend for bipods, ARCA adapters, or whatever your setup calls for. Up top there is an integrated 20 MOA Picatinny rail with a built-in bubble level, a smart touch that helps you kill cant before it costs you at distance. The Woodland Shadow finish over black anodized hardware looks right at home in timber and broken country.
At roughly six and three quarter pounds bare, this is a rifle you can haul up an elk mountain all week, and the user-adjustable TriggerTech trigger (2.5 to 5 pounds) means the break will be crisp when the moment finally comes. Seekins backs it with their no-questions-asked lifetime warranty, and every HAVAK is machined and test-fired in-house in Idaho.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does the quick-change barrel system on the HAVAK Element M3 work?
The Element M3 uses Seekins' patent-pending barrel collar that lets you remove and install barrels without a gunsmith or barrel vise. Seekins also publishes open-source headspace and tenon specs, so swapping to another caliber or a fresh barrel down the road is straightforward. It effectively turns one rifle into a multi-caliber platform.
Is the Element M3 in .300 PRC light enough for backcountry hunting?
Yes, it comes in around 6 lbs 12 oz before optics, which is impressively light for a magnum rifle with a 22 inch barrel and a fully featured stock. The aluminum and steel hybrid action and carbon fiber wrapped barrel are where most of that weight savings comes from. Loaded up with a scope and sling you are still looking at a very packable mountain rig.
Can the magazine handle long, heavy .300 PRC handloads?
The included carbon fiber magazine supports an extended cartridge overall length up to 3.9 inches in .300 PRC. That means you can run the long, high-BC bullets this cartridge was built around without seating them deep into the case. It is a real advantage for long-range hunters and handloaders.
Does the HAVAK Element M3 come with a warranty?
Seekins Precision backs the Element M3 with their no-questions-asked lifetime warranty. Every HAVAK rifle is designed, machined, and test-fired in-house at their facility in Idaho, so support comes straight from the people who built it.
