The Seekins Precision Havak SLAM M3 7mm PRC 22in is a lightweight, field-oriented bolt-action rifle that pairs the Element barreled action with the SLAM hunting chassis. Built for mountain hunting and precision work, this rifle uses skeletonized aerospace-grade aluminum wrapped in hand-laid carbon fiber to keep weight down without losing rigidity. The spiral-fluted, threaded 22-inch barrel and precision trigger make it ready for tough terrain and long-range shots.

Key Features
- SLAM Hunting Chassis – WHY IT MATTERS: The skeletonized aerospace-grade aluminum core wrapped in hand-laid carbon fiber cuts weight to just 6.75 lbs while maintaining the stiffness needed for consistent sub-MOA accuracy in the field.
- Spiral-Fluted 22-Inch Barrel – WHY IT MATTERS: The fluting reduces weight and increases surface area for faster cooling, so you can take follow-up shots without losing zero. The threaded muzzle (5/8×24) accepts brakes or suppressors easily.
- Element Barreled Action – WHY IT MATTERS: This integrated design eliminates bedding issues and keeps the action perfectly aligned with the barrel, improving reliability and accuracy over traditional builds.
- Precision Trigger – WHY IT MATTERS: A crisp, adjustable trigger (factory set at 2.5 lbs) lets you break clean shots without creep, critical for ethical kills at distance.
- 7mm PRC Chambering – WHY IT MATTERS: This cartridge delivers flat trajectories and retained energy beyond 600 yards, making it ideal for elk, mule deer, and other large game in open country.
Who It’s For
This rifle is built for the hunter who hikes miles into the backcountry and expects one-shot reliability when it counts. Also suits precision shooters who want a lightweight platform they can carry all day. New gun owners will appreciate the easy-to-adjust trigger and threaded barrel for adding a brake or suppressor.
Pros & Cons

The factory barrel uses a 1:8 twist rate, which stabilizes bullets from 140 to 180 grains effectively for the 7mm PRC cartridge.

Yes, it accepts standard Remington 700-style triggers, so you can swap in a Timney or TriggerTech if you prefer a different pull weight or feel.
Does the Seekins Havak SLAM M3 come with a scope base?
Yes, it includes a 20 MOA Picatinny rail already installed, ready for mounting optics without additional parts.
Can I use this rifle for hunting in wet or cold weather?
