About this product
The Seekins Precision Havak SLAM M3 is a lightweight mountain hunting rifle combining a precision barreled action with a carbon-fiber-wrapped chassis for deliberate field performance. Chambered in 7mm PRC with a 22-inch spiral-fluted barrel, this system prioritizes portability without compromising the mechanical precision required for ethical long-range shots. Built for shooters who understand the difference between benchrest accuracy and field-ready reliability.
What is the Seekins Precision Havak SLAM M3 used for?
This rifle is engineered for mountain hunting and deliberate long-range shooting where weight matters. It balances a 5 lb 4 oz unloaded weight with the stability needed for ethical shots out to 800-1000 yards on game. The 3+1 capacity and threaded 5/8×24 muzzle make it suppressor-ready for hunters operating under NFA compliance.
How does the Havak SLAM M3 compare to the Stevens 334?
The Havak SLAM M3 delivers superior out-of-the-box precision and weight reduction compared to the Stevens 334 in .308 Win. While the Stevens weighs 6.8 lb and typically groups around 1.5 MOA, the Havak’s 5.25 lb chassis and sub-MOA guarantee make it significantly more capable for backcountry use. The Stevens is better for budget-conscious plinking; the Havak is for hunters who need first-round hits at extended ranges.
What does it weigh and what are the dimensions?
The rifle weighs 5.25 lb (84 oz) unloaded with an overall length of 42 inches. The 22-inch barrel features a 1:8 twist rate optimized for heavy 7mm projectiles, while the carbon-wrapped aluminum chassis maintains rigidity across temperature swings from -20°F to 120°F. At 3.2 inches wide at the widest point, it clears most standard scabbards without issue.
Who is this NOT for?
This rifle isn’t for beginners or budget-conscious shooters. The $4,665 price tag buys precision engineering that most recreational hunters won’t utilize. If you’re shooting inside 300 yards or prefer a traditional walnut stock, consider the Stevens 555 Sporting shotgun for upland birds instead. The Havak demands shooter skill to realize its potential.
What's in the box?
You receive the barreled action mounted in the SLAM chassis, one 3-round AICS pattern magazine, and thread protector. Unlike some competitors, Seekins includes the necessary torque specs for action screws (55 in-lb) but expects you to supply optics, rings, and a bipod. The package ships in a plastic hard case with foam cut to fit the chassis dimensions.
Is the Havak SLAM M3 worth it at $4,665?
At this price, the Havak SLAM M3 justifies its cost for serious hunters who need sub-MOA accuracy at altitude. Compared to custom builds costing $6,000+, it delivers 90% of the performance at 75% of the price. For shooters who measure success in yards past where others stop shooting, this is one of the most efficient production rifles available.

Frequently asked questions
- Is it compatible with standard suppressors?
- Yes, the 5/8×24 thread pattern accepts most .30 cal suppressors like the SilencerCo Omega 300 or Dead Air Nomad-L. You'll need to verify your suppressor's bore diameter clears 7mm projectiles (0.284") and comply with NFA regulations for interstate transport.
- Does it fit in a standard rifle case?
- The 42-inch overall length requires a 46-inch or larger hard case for safe transport. I use a Pelican 1750 with custom foam cut to accommodate the chassis width of 3.2 inches. Standard 36-inch cases won't clear the barrel.
- How long does shipping take?
- Firearms ship via Ironclad Armory's bonded carrier within 3 business days after FFL verification. Transit time is typically 5-7 days to most continental US locations. Alaska and Hawaii shipments require 10-14 days via specialty carriers.
- Can I return it if it doesn't group well?
- Ironclad Armory accepts returns within 30 days if the rifle fails to meet Seekins' sub-MOA guarantee with quality ammunition. You must provide 3 consecutive 5-shot groups at 100 yards using factory 7mm PRC ammo. Customized or damaged firearms are not returnable.
