Description
Magnum power usually means magnum weight, and that trade-off gets old fast when you're climbing at elevation with a rifle on your back. The Seekins HAVAK Element M3 flips that equation. Built around Seekins' hybrid aluminum and steel action, this .300 Win Mag stays remarkably light without giving up the stiffness and repeatability you need for long shots on game. The 22 inch match grade barrel is 416R stainless wrapped in carbon fiber, which trims weight where it matters most and helps the barrel shed heat and hold its point of impact through a shot string.
What Makes the Element M3 Different
The action is where Seekins really moved the ball forward. The three lug bolt runs a 60 degree throw, so it cycles fast and clears low mounted scopes with room to spare, and the bolt pulls out without tools for easy cleaning. The patent-pending Quick-Change Barrel Collar means you can swap barrels down the road if you want to run a different chambering off the same action. Up top there's an integrated 20 MOA Picatinny rail with a built-in bubble level, and the forend carries full length M-LOK for bipods, ARCA adapters, or whatever else your setup calls for.
Set Up for the Field, Not Just the Bench
The PH3 carbon composite stock includes an adjustable cheek riser so you can get proper eye alignment behind bigger optics, and the whole package sits in a Seekins Mini Chassis for consistent bedding. A TriggerTech trigger, user adjustable from 2.5 to 5 pounds, breaks clean every time. The muzzle is threaded 5/8×24 and wears a Hunter muzzle brake from the factory, which takes real bite out of .300 Win Mag recoil. Feeding comes from an included 3 round carbon fiber magazine.
A .300 Win Mag Worth Hauling In
With its 1:10 twist stabilizing heavy modern bullets and the Mountain Shadow finish blending into rocky country, this is a rifle built by people who hunt hard terrain. Seekins backs it with a no questions asked lifetime warranty, so it's a buy once kind of rifle.

Frequently Asked Questions
How bad is the recoil on the HAVAK Element M3 in .300 Win Mag given how light it is?
Light rifles in magnum chamberings will always have some thump, but the factory installed Hunter muzzle brake does a lot of the heavy lifting here. Combined with the PH3 stock's straight comb design, recoil is very manageable for a rifle this light. If you prefer, the 5/8×24 threads let you run a suppressor or thread protector instead.
Can I change barrels or calibers on the Element M3 myself?
Yes, that's one of the biggest draws of this rifle. Seekins' patent-pending Quick-Change Barrel Collar is designed for user barrel swaps, and Seekins publishes open source headspace and tenon specs. The action is a long action, so you can set it up for other long action chamberings with the right barrel and bolt configuration.
Do I need scope bases or rings for the Seekins Element M3?
No bases needed. The rifle has an integrated 20 MOA Picatinny rail machined right into the action, complete with a built-in bubble level to help you avoid canting on longer shots. Just add quality rings sized for your scope tube and you're ready to mount glass.
What twist rate does the 22 inch .300 Win Mag barrel have, and what bullets will it handle?
The barrel runs a 1:10 twist, which is the standard for .300 Win Mag and stabilizes the popular hunting bullet range from 150 up through 200 plus grains. The action also allows extended cartridge overall length up to 3.9 inches in .300 Win Mag, so you have room to seat longer, high BC bullets that get choked off in tighter factory magazines.
