Description
The Seekins Havak ELMNT M3 in 7PRC with a 22-inch barrel is a direct evolution of the hybrid aluminum-and-steel action that changed how hunters think about lightweight precision. This is the rifle you reach for when the trail goes vertical and the shot window is tight. The M3 generation brings a three-lug 60-degree bolt throw and a patent-pending quick-change barrel collar, all wrapped in a new Seekins stock with full-length MLOK and adjustable cheekpiece. At 2849 dollars, it delivers a fast, smooth, repeatable platform for backcountry hunts where every ounce and every second counts.

Key Features
- Quick-Change Barrel Collar – Patent-pending design lets you swap barrels in the field without tools, so you can chase different game or calibers with one rifle.
- Three-Lug Bolt with 60-Degree Throw – Shorter lift means faster cycling, keeping your eye on target and your follow-up shot ready.
- Seekins Adjustable Stock – Full-length MLOK slots let you mount bipods, slings, or NV gear, and the adjustable cheekpiece gives you a perfect cheek weld every time.
- Hybrid Aluminum/Steel Action – Steel where it needs to be strong, aluminum where it needs to be light—this saves nearly half a pound over all-steel actions without sacrificing rigidity.
- 7mm PRC Chamber – Delivers flat trajectories and retained energy at extended ranges, ideal for elk, mule deer, and long-range steel.
Who It’s For
This rifle is built for the hunter who packs into high country, sets up on a ridge before dawn, and needs a rifle that shoots like a precision rig but carries like a mountain carbine. It’s for the guy who wants one rifle that can do it all—spot-and-stalk elk, long-range antelope, and even a dedicated LR steel gun. If you’re tired of compromises between weight and accuracy, the M3 is your answer.
Pros & Cons
- Pro: Ultra-light at roughly 6.5 pounds—easy to carry all day.
- Pro: 60-degree bolt throw cycles fast without bumping your scope.
- Pro: Quick-change barrel system future-proofs your investment.
- Con: The 22-inch barrel is a compromise for maximum velocity in 7PRC—you lose about 50-75 fps compared to a 24-inch tube, but you gain maneuverability in thick cover.
