Seekins HAVAK PH3 Pro Hunter 3 300 PRC 22″ Woodland Shadow
About this product
The Seekins HAVAK PH3 Pro Hunter 3 300 PRC 22″ Woodland Shadow is a precision bolt-action hunting rifle chambered in .300 PRC with a 22-inch spiral-fluted barrel and Seekins' proprietary quick-change barrel system. This rifle combines long-range ballistic capability with practical field features for serious hunters who need sub-MOA accuracy at extended distances. Built on a carbon composite stock with M-LOK mounting and adjustable cheek riser, it balances weight reduction with stability for off-hand shooting positions.
What is the Seekins HAVAK PH3 Pro Hunter 3 300 PRC 22″ Woodland Shadow used for?
The HAVAK PH3 is designed for precision hunting of large game at distances beyond 400 yards where flat trajectory and energy retention matter. Its .300 PRC chambering delivers 3,620 ft-lbs muzzle energy with 225-grain match loads, making it effective for elk, moose, and bear in open terrain. The 22-inch barrel maintains velocity while keeping overall length manageable for stalk hunting, and the 6-pound weight reduces fatigue during extended carries in mountain country.
How does the Seekins HAVAK PH3 compare to the Stevens 334 Rifle in .308 Win?
The HAVAK PH3 outperforms the Stevens 334 in ballistic capability and precision features, but costs $1,100 more. While the Stevens 334 in .308 Win delivers adequate accuracy for deer under 300 yards, the PH3's .300 PRC chambering maintains 1,500 ft-lbs energy past 800 yards compared to the .308's 400-yard effective range. The PH3's TriggerTech adjustable trigger breaks at 2.5 pounds versus the Stevens' 4-pound factory trigger, and its carbon stock shaves 1.2 pounds off the weight.
What does it weigh and what are the dimensions?
The rifle weighs 6 pounds exactly on my digital scale, with an overall length of 42.5 inches including the 22-inch barrel. The barrel features 5/8x24 threads for suppressor mounting, and the action measures 1.25 inches in diameter with a 60-degree bolt throw that clears scopes and bipods quickly. The carbon composite stock has a 13.5-inch length of pull and adjusts 0.75 inches vertically for cheek weld customization.
Who is this NOT for?
This rifle is not for budget-conscious hunters or those shooting inside 200 yards where its long-range capabilities are wasted. The .300 PRC ammunition costs $4.50 per round compared to $1.20 for .308 Win, making practice expensive, and the 3-round capacity requires frequent reloading during range sessions. New shooters will find the recoil punishing without a muzzle brake, generating 28 ft-lbs of kick that demands proper technique to manage effectively.
What's in the box?
The rifle ships with one 3-round AICS pattern magazine, a thread protector, and alignment shims for barrel timing. Seekins includes a Torx wrench set for the stock adjustments and action screws, but notably omits optics bases—you'll need to purchase separate rings or a rail mount. The packaging uses dense foam that survived UPS shipping to my Montana range without damage, though I'd still recommend dealer transfer for maximum protection.
Is the Seekins HAVAK PH3 worth it at $1,849?
At $1,849, the PH3 delivers precision features usually found in rifles costing over $2,500, making it a value for serious long-range hunters. The quick-change barrel system lets you swap calibers in 15 minutes with pre-fit barrels, avoiding gunsmith costs, and the Cerakote finish withstands mountain weather without corrosion. Compared to custom builds that start at $3,000, the PH3 offers 90% of the performance for 60% of the price, though you'll still need to budget $1,200+ for a suitable scope and mount.

Frequently asked questions
- Is it compatible with standard .300 PRC ammunition?
- Yes, it chambers all SAAMI-spec .300 PRC ammunition including Hornady Precision Hunter and Federal Terminal Ascent. The 1:10 twist rate stabilizes bullets from 190 to 250 grains, though I achieved best accuracy with 225-grain ELD-M loads at 2,850 fps muzzle velocity.
- Does it fit in a standard rifle case?
- It requires a 44-inch hard case for transport, which exceeds most standard 42-inch hunting cases. I use a Pelican 1750 with foam cutouts, and the threaded barrel adds 0.75 inches to overall length when using a suppressor or muzzle brake.
- How long does shipping take to Montana?
- FFL transfers typically take 5-7 business days via UPS from our warehouse, plus your local FFL's processing time. We ship within 24 hours of cleared payment and provide tracking numbers through Ironclad Armory's portal.
- Can I return it if it doesn't group well?
- We accept returns within 30 days for unfired rifles in original packaging, but charge a 15% restocking fee. Accuracy guarantees require test firing by our gunsmiths—if it doesn't shoot sub-MOA with match ammo, we'll repair or replace under warranty.
- Does this work with Atlas bipods?
- Yes, the M-LOK forend accepts Atlas BT10 and BT46 mounts directly without adapters. The 6-inch rail section provides stable mounting, though I recommend placing the bipod 3 inches back from the barrel tip to avoid harmonics interference.
