About this product
The Seekins Havak PH3 7mm Rem Mag 26″ Mountain Shadow is a precision bolt-action rifle engineered for long-range hunting and tactical applications. Built with Seekins Precision's quick-change barrel system and a carbon composite stock, it delivers sub-MOA accuracy out to 800+ yards in a field-ready package weighing just 7.8 pounds unloaded.
What is the Seekins Havak PH3 used for?
The Havak PH3 is designed for long-range hunting and precision shooting in variable terrain. Its 7mm Remington Magnum chambering generates 3,250 fps muzzle velocity with 162-grain ELD-X rounds, making it effective on elk and mule deer beyond 500 yards. The 26-inch fluted barrel and 20 MOA rail support high-magnification optics for engagements past 800 meters.
How does the Seekins Havak PH3 compare to the Stevens 334 Rifle?
The Havak PH3 outperforms the Stevens 334 Rifle in precision and modularity but costs $1,000 more. While the Stevens 334 in .308 Win offers reliable performance at 400 yards, the Havak's 7mm Rem Mag cartridge maintains supersonic velocity to 1,200 yards and its quick-change barrel system allows caliber swaps in under 10 minutes. The Stevens is better for budget-conscious hunters; the Havak for serious long-range shooters.
What does it weigh and what are the dimensions?
Unloaded weight is 7.8 pounds (3.54 kg) with an overall length of 46.5 inches. The 26-inch barrel features a 5/8x24 thread pattern for suppressor mounting, and the Mountain Shadow stock has an adjustable length of pull from 13.5 to 14.75 inches. The action measures 3.9 inches wide at the ejection port.
Who is this NOT for?
This rifle is not for beginners or those on a tight budget. The 7mm Rem Mag generates 25.5 ft-lbs of recoil energy—40% more than a .308 Winchester—which demands proper shooting form and a suppressor or muzzle brake for extended range sessions. At $1,849, it's overkill for whitetail hunting inside 200 yards where a the Stevens 334 Rifle would suffice.
What's in the box?
The rifle ships with one 3-round AICS pattern magazine, Torx wrench set for stock adjustments, and thread protector. No optic, bipod, or sling is included—plan another $800+ for a proper long-range setup. The box dimensions are 52x12x6 inches with 4.5 pounds of packaging materials.
Is the Seekins Havak PH3 worth it at $1,849?
Yes, if you require sub-MOA accuracy and modularity for long-range hunting or competition. The quick-change barrel system alone justifies the premium over fixed-barrel alternatives like the the Stevens 334, allowing caliber changes without gunsmithing. For most hunters, however, a $900 rifle in .300 Win Mag will achieve similar terminal performance.

Frequently asked questions
- Is it compatible with AICS magazines?
- Yes, it uses standard AICS pattern magazines. The included magazine holds 3 rounds with a +1 capacity in the chamber. Seekins recommends MDT or Accurate Mag brands for reliability.
- Does it fit in a standard rifle case?
- No, you'll need a 48-inch or longer case. The overall length is 46.5 inches, and most standard cases max out at 42 inches. Pelican 1750 or Plano All-Weather 52-inch cases work perfectly.
- How long does shipping take?
- Firearms ship via UPS Ground with 3-5 business day transit. All orders require an FFL transfer—allow 2 additional days for background check processing through your local dealer.
- Can I return it if it doesn't fit?
- No, firearms sales are final due to federal regulations. Ironclad Armory allows exchanges only for manufacturer defects within 30 days. Always verify fit with your FFL before purchasing.
- Does this work with a SilencerCo Omega 300 suppressor?
- Yes, the 5/8x24 threaded muzzle accepts direct-thread mounts. The Omega 300 is rated for 7mm Rem Mag up to 28-inch barrels—just ensure you use a .30 cal end cap for optimal performance.
