About This Firearm

A 6.7 lb rifle in 6mm Creedmoor is built around one priority, which is covering ground with it. Seekins drops an aluminum and steel hybrid action into its own carbon composite mini chassis, hangs a fluted 20-inch barrel with a 1:8 twist off the front, and finishes with a Hunter Brake on 5/8x24 threads. MSRP is $2,895.

The scope base is machined into the action with 20 MOA of cant built in, so there is nothing to buy or shim and no base screws to work loose in a pack. The forend carries full-length M-LOK and four QD flush cups, the comb adjusts, and a bubble level is set into the chassis. The three-lug bolt throws 60 degrees and strips without tools. The TriggerTech Primary is set at 2.5 lbs, light for a gloved finger in cold weather. Seekins makes its headspace and barrel tenon dimensions public and sells a switch-barrel system, so a rebarrel later is a planned job rather than a gunsmithing project.

Seekins Precision Havak Pro Hunter 3, chambered in 6.5 PRC, uses the same mini chassis and barrel length but weighs 7.5 lbs with an MSRP of $1,895. A used Christensen Arms Ridgeline in 6.5mm Creedmoor is the carbon-wrapped-barrel alternative, with a 24-inch barrel and a 13.5-inch pull.

Best For

GOOD
Hunting (Deer/Elk)
6.7 lbs with an adjustable comb, four QD cups for a sling and a brake fitted is a rifle set up to be carried and then shot from whatever position the ground gives you. 6mm Creedmoor recoils lightly enough to spot your own shot.
GOOD
Long Range/Precision
The 20 MOA base is part of the action rather than bolted to it, the forend has full-length M-LOK for a bipod, and a 1:8 twist handles the long 6mm bullets that hold velocity. A built-in bubble level removes one source of error on a canted rifle.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths
  • The 20 MOA Picatinny base is integral to the action, which removes the base, its screws and its bedding as things that can shift between shots.
  • Seekins publishes the headspace and barrel tenon dimensions and sells a switch-barrel system, so swapping a worn barrel or changing chambering is a documented job.
  • Four QD flush cups, an adjustable comb, a built-in bubble level and tool-less bolt disassembly are all in the chassis rather than sold as upgrades.
Limitations
  • Seekins sells through dealers rather than direct, so handling one before buying depends on what a local shop stocks.
  • The TriggerTech is set at 2.5 lbs, which is light for a field rifle and worth knowing about before a cold, gloved shot.
  • A 20-inch barrel trades velocity for carry length, so the cartridge gives up some of its reach compared with a 24-inch barrel.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to buy a scope base?

No. A 20 MOA Picatinny base is machined into the action, so rings or a one-piece mount are the next step.

Can the barrel be changed?

Yes. Seekins sells a switch-barrel system for the Element and publishes its headspace and barrel tenon specifications, so a barrel swap does not depend on one gunsmith's reamer.

What is the trigger and how heavy is it?

A TriggerTech Primary set at 2.5 lbs from the factory. It is externally adjustable from there.

How does it differ from the Pro Hunter 3?

Seekins Precision Havak Pro Hunter 3 shares the mini chassis and the barrel length but carries more weight, at 7.5 lbs, where the Element is built to shed it. The Element also has the integrated full-length M-LOK forend and tool-less bolt takedown.

Is the muzzle threaded?

Yes, 5/8x24, with a Seekins Hunter Brake fitted. That thread also takes most 6mm and 6.5mm suppressor mounts.
