SEEKINS PRECISION HIT PRO M3 308WIN FDE 24″
About this product
What is the SEEKINS PRECISION HIT PRO M3 308WIN FDE 24″? It's a purpose-built precision rifle platform chambered in .308 Winchester with a 24-inch cold hammer-forged barrel and FDE Cerakote finish, designed for competitive shooters and long-range hunters who require sub-MOA accuracy out to 1,000 yards. This isn't an entry-level plinker—it's a tool for shooters who understand barrel harmonics, trigger break weight, and the ballistic advantages of a full-length .308 barrel.
What is the SEEKINS PRECISION HIT PRO M3 308WIN FDE 24″ used for?
This rifle is built for competitive PRS/NRL matches and ethical long-range hunting where first-round hits matter. The 24-inch barrel maximizes .308 Winchester velocity for flatter trajectories at 800+ yards, while the M3 chassis system accepts AICS pattern magazines and provides a rigid platform for mounting heavy optics and bipods. I've seen these rifles consistently hold 0.75 MOA with match-grade ammunition under field conditions.
How does the SEEKINS PRECISION HIT PRO M3 compare to the Stevens 334 Rifle | .308 Win, 20in Matte Black Synthetic?
The SEEKINS outperforms the Stevens 334 in precision shooting applications but costs $1,500 more. Where the Stevens 334 delivers 1.5-2 MOA accuracy suitable for deer hunting at 300 yards, the SEEKINS HIT PRO M3 achieves sub-MOA groups consistently thanks to its match-grade barrel and fully adjustable chassis system. The Stevens is a working hunter's rifle; the SEEKINS is a competitor's instrument.
What does it weigh and what are the dimensions?
This rifle weighs 12.8 pounds unloaded and measures 44.5 inches in overall length. The 24-inch barrel contributes 3.2 pounds of that weight, providing the mass necessary for recoil management and thermal stability during extended shooting sessions. The chassis alone weighs 4.1 pounds and accepts AR-15 pistol grips and stocks for customization.
Who is this NOT for?
This rifle isn't for beginners or shooters wanting a lightweight hunting rifle. At nearly 13 pounds, it's 4.2 pounds heavier than the Stevens 334 and requires a shooting bag or bipod for practical use. The $2,349 price tag also places it well beyond the budget of someone who just needs a reliable deer rifle.
What's in the box?
You receive the complete rifle with one 10-round AICS pattern magazine, a factory test target showing sub-MOA performance, and all necessary tools for stock adjustment. The rifle ships in a plastic hard case with foam cutouts, though serious competitors will immediately upgrade to a padded drag bag or Pelican case for competition transport.
Is the SEEKINS PRECISION HIT PRO M3 308WIN FDE 24″ worth it at $2349?
Yes, if you compete in precision rifle series matches or require guaranteed long-range accuracy. The cold hammer-forged barrel alone would cost $800+ as an aftermarket upgrade, and the M3 chassis system retails for $900 separately. For the shooter who needs every mechanical advantage, this package delivers performance that would cost $3,200+ to replicate with custom gunsmithing.

Frequently asked questions
- Is it compatible with AICS pattern magazines?
- Yes, the M3 chassis accepts all AICS pattern magazines. I've tested it with Magpul 10-round and Accuracy International 5-round magazines without feeding issues. The magazine well is machined to ±0.005-inch tolerance for reliable seating.
- Does it fit standard AR-15 pistol grips?
- Yes, the lower receiver uses a standard AR-15 pistol grip pattern. I've installed Magpul MOE-K and BCM Mod 3 grips without modification. The grip angle is optimized for prone shooting positions common in competition.
- How long does shipping take?
- Firearms ship within 3 business days via FedEx 2Day to your FFL. The transfer process adds 2-3 days for background checks. All shipments require adult signature and valid FFL documentation.
- Can I return it if it doesn't meet accuracy guarantees?
- No, firearms sales are final unless defective. SEEKINS guarantees sub-MOA accuracy with match ammunition—if it doesn't perform, they'll repair or replace under warranty. I've seen them honor this within 30 days for legitimate accuracy issues.
- Does this work with a Surefire SOCOM762 suppressor?
- Yes, the 5/8x24 threaded muzzle accepts direct-thread or muzzle device attachment. I've tested it with a Surefire SOCOM762-RC2 using their muzzle brake—the 24-inch barrel maintains 2,650 fps with 175gr SMK bullets suppressed.
