Seekins designed the Havak SLAM with serious hunters in mind, combining innovation with practical features that stand out in the field.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Watch the full video just below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Seekins Precision Havak Slam Accuracy Testing!\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/2hy-wqMnMRY?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"h-video\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Video<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"h-lightweight-and-durable-chassis\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Lightweight and Durable Chassis<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/DSC09157-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"Seekins Havak SLAM forend\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Havak SLAM is actually built around a lightweight, full-length aluminum chassis<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">First off, while it appears to be a standard hand-laid carbon fiber stock, the Havak SLAM is actually built around a lightweight, full-length aluminum chassis. This is not your typical stripped-down tactical chassis repurposed for hunting, this one was built from scratch by Glen Seekins for hunters who prioritize weight savings without sacrificing durability or accuracy. The folding stock, combined with the solid aluminum frame, delivers incredible stiffness, ensuring you get precise shots without the worry of any flexing or misalignment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/DSC09138-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"Seekins Havak SLAM full rifle\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The Seekins Havak SLAM in 6.5 PRC<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"h-havak-element-action\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Havak Element Action<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The heart of the SLAM is the Havak Element action, which blends aluminum with metal inserts for additional strength. It is light, smooth, and dependable, featuring a nitride-coated bolt with a 90\u00b0 bolt throw and four locking lugs. The bolt can also be taken apart without tools in the field. It also boasts an M16-style extractor, offering positive extraction every time, and a machined-into-the-action 20 MOA Picatinny rail for mounting optics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/DSC09111-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"Seekins Havak SLAM Adjustable Cheekpiece\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The folding stock and adjustable cheekpiece.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"h-barrel-and-suppressor-ready-design\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Barrel and Suppressor-Ready Design<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The 21-inch, 5R rifled stainless steel barrel on the Havak SLAM is Cerakoted for durability, and while many lightweight rifles suffer from thin barrels, Seekins ensures the SLAM has enough barrel thickness to support a 5\/8\u00d724 thread. This allows for easy attachment of suppressors or muzzle brakes, making the rifle both customizable and adaptable in different shooting environments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/DSC09120-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"Seekins SLAM barrel\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The 21-inch, 5R rifled stainless steel barrel on the Havak SLAM is threaded 5\/8-24 and is substantially thicker than the barrels found on most ultralight rifles.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"h-top-notch-components\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Components<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One of the standout features is the inclusion of the TriggerTech Diamond trigger, which is excellent for precision bolt-action rifles. It\u2019s crisp, fully adjustable, and offers clicks for fine-tuning that are as tactile as those on a scope. Combine that with the B5 grip, folding stock with a zero-play hinge, and carbon fiber cheekpiece, and you\u2019ve got a rifle built for both comfort and performance in the field.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/DSC09151-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"The SLAM and Diamondtech Trigger.\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">One of the standout features is the inclusion of the TriggerTech Diamond trigger<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"h-magazine-design\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Magazine Design<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/DSC09158-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"Seekins Carbon Fiber Magazine\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Seekins Havak SLAM carbon fiber mag holds three rounds.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Seekins didn\u2019t stop with the rifle design, they\u2019ve also designed the magazine, which holds three rounds and is made of carbon fiber, right in their factory. The magazine release is tucked inside the trigger guard to prevent accidental release in the field, a well-thought-out feature for those navigating dense brush or packing their rifle in tight spaces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/DSC09118-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"Seekins Havak SLAM Mag Release\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The magazine release is tucked inside the trigger guard to prevent accidental release in the field<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"h-specifications\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Specifications:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Calibers Available<\/strong>: .308, 6.5 PRC, 7 PRC<\/li>\n<li><strong>Action<\/strong>: Havak Element aluminum action with steel inserts<\/li>\n<li><strong>Barrel<\/strong>: 21-inch stainless steel, 5R rifled, threaded 5\/8\u00d724<\/li>\n<li><strong>Stock\/Chassis<\/strong>: Full-length aluminum chassis with carbon fiber handguard<\/li>\n<li><strong>Weight<\/strong>: 5.5 lbs (approx.)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Trigger<\/strong>: TriggerTech Diamond, fully adjustable<\/li>\n<li><strong>Magazine<\/strong>: 3-round detachable, carbon fiber construction<\/li>\n<li><strong>Picatinny Rail<\/strong>: 20 MOA integrated rail<\/li>\n<li><strong>Finish<\/strong>: Cerakote<\/li>\n<li><strong>Other Features<\/strong>: Folding stock, M16-style extractor, integrated bubble level, B5 grip, M-LOK and QD sling mounts<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/DSC09136-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"Seekins Havak SLAM laying on hay.\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"h-field-testing-and-accuracy\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Field Testing and Accuracy<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I tested and chronoed multiple loads, including Norma 6.5 PRC Golden Target, Winchester Solid Copper, Hornady Match, and Hornady\u2019s 143-grain ELD-X, the Havak SLAM delivered results that I wasn\u2019t overly pleased with.
