Seekins Element M3 Havak 277 Fury 20in

Description

The Seekins Element M3 Havak in 277 Fury with a 20-inch barrel is a precision hunting rifle that strips weight without compromising accuracy. It uses a hybrid aluminum-and-steel action paired with a patent-pending Quick-Change Barrel Collar, allowing you to swap barrels in the field with a single tool. The three-lug, 60-degree bolt throw cycles fast and smooth, and the carbon fiber-wrapped 416R stainless steel barrel is mated to the Seekins PH3 carbon composite stock. This rifle is built for shooters who demand sub-MOA performance from a sub-7-pound package.

Key Features

• Quick-Change Barrel Collar — WHY IT MATTERS: You can swap barrels in under two minutes with no headspace gauges, keeping you on target during a multi-caliber match or hunting trip.
• Three-Lug 60-Degree Bolt Throw — WHY IT MATTERS: Faster cycling means faster follow-ups, critical when you’re shooting steel at 800 yards or tracking a moving target in the field.
• Carbon Fiber-Wrapped 416R Barrel — WHY IT MATTERS: The carbon wrap reduces weight by about 40% over a steel barrel of the same contour, while the 416R stainless core delivers consistent sub-MOA accuracy shot after shot.
• PH3 Carbon Composite Stock with Adjustable Cheekpiece — WHY IT MATTERS: You get a rigid, lightweight chassis with a full-length M-LOK forend for mounting bipods and accessories, plus a cheekpiece that dials in your eye alignment for repeatable cheek weld.
• Integrated 20 MOA Rail with Bubble Level — WHY IT MATTERS: The 20 MOA cant gives you extra elevation travel for long-range optics, and the bubble level eliminates cant error — a must for precision shots past 500 yards.

Who It’s For

This rifle is for the competition shooter who also hunts. If you shoot PRS, NRL Hunter, or run multi-day backcountry matches, the Element M3’s weight and barrel-swap capability let you adapt to different stages without hauling multiple guns. It’s also for the precision enthusiast who wants a single rifle that can stretch to 1,000 yards in 277 Fury and still carry comfortably all day.

FAQ

What is the twist rate on the Seekins Element M3 Havak 277 Fury 20in?

Yes, it includes a Hunter muzzle brake from the factory. The brake is threaded 5/8×24 and is removable if you prefer to run a suppressor or a different brake.

Is the Seekins Element M3 Havak compatible with aftermarket triggers?

What is the magazine capacity for the 277 Fury version?

It uses a proprietary Seekins magazine with a 3-round capacity for the 277 Fury cartridge. The magazine is flush-fit with the stock.

Can I use this rifle for PRS competition?

Yes, the 20-inch barrel and 6.9-pound weight make it a strong choice for NRL Hunter and PRS tactical divisions. The 20 MOA rail and bubble level are competition-ready. Just note that 277 Fury ammo is less common than 6.5 Creedmoor at matches, so plan your reloads or ammo supply accordingly.
