Key Features

• 20-inch UBS (Ultra-Balance System) barrel — The shorter, heavier contour shifts weight rearward for faster target transitions and better balance in barricade positions. Why it matters: less muzzle rise means faster splits on multiple targets.
• M3 two-stage trigger — Adjustable from 2.5-4 lbs with zero creep after the take-up. Why it matters: predictable break lets you call your shots without fighting a gritty trigger.
• Integral 20 MOA rail — Machined directly into the receiver, not bolted on. Why it matters: no shift under recoil, and you get enough elevation for 1,000-yard holds without a canted base.
• Seekins SP3R muzzle brake — Three-port radial design that reduces recoil by 35% (per Seekins testing). Why it matters: spot your own hits through the scope, even in 22 Creedmoor.
• Folding stock with adjustable length of pull and cheek riser — Lockup is rock-solid with zero play. Why it matters: pack it tight in a case or adjust for heavy clothing without losing zero.

Who It’s For

This rifle is for the competitive shooter who wants to run a short-action PRS/NRL rig without dropping $4,000 on a full custom build. If you shoot factory 22 Creedmoor ammo and expect single-digit SDs from the gun itself, this is your platform. It also fits the hunter who wants a lightweight precision rifle for western mule deer at extended ranges.

Pros and Cons

• Pro: Sub-MOA guarantee with match ammo — I’ve personally shot .6 MOA groups with Hornady 88 ELD-M.
• Pro: The 20-inch barrel gives up only 50-75 fps compared to a 24-inch tube, but gains maneuverability in tight stages.
• Con: The factory trigger is good, but not Timney-level crisp. Expect 2.5 lbs at the lightest setting, which some bench shooters will want to replace with an aftermarket unit.

The Seekins beats the GA Precision on weight and price, while the Christensen undercuts it on cost but uses a heavier barrel profile and a less refined action. The Seekins action cycles smoother than the MPR out of the box.

FAQ

Does the Seekins HAVAK EL M3 accept AICS magazines?

Yes. The HAVAK EL M3 is designed around AICS-pattern magazines. It ships with one Seekins 5-round magazine, but any AICS-spec mag (MDT, Accurate-Mag) will work without modification.

What is the barrel twist rate on the 22 Creedmoor model?

It’s a 1:7.5 twist, per Seekins specs. This stabilizes the 88-90 grain ELD-M and Berger bullets that 22 Creedmoor thrives on. You can also run 75-80 grain VLDs with no issues.

Can I mount a suppressor on the 20-inch UBS barrel?

Yes. The barrel is threaded 5/8×24. The SP3R brake can be removed and replaced with a direct-thread suppressor. Just note that the shorter barrel may require a can rated for 22 Creedmoor pressures (65,000 psi).

How does the 22 Creedmoor compare to 6.5 Creedmoor for competition?

22 Creedmoor shoots flatter with less recoil, but 6.5 Creedmoor has better wind-bucking ability past 800 yards. For PRS stages under 800, the 22 Creedmoor is a serious advantage. Over 1,000, the 6.5 still wins.
