The 7mm Backcountry version of the HAVAK Element equipped with a 22" 1:8" M3 carbon fiber match barrel combines ballistic performance with portability and comfort. The carbon‑fiber‑wrapped match barrel reduces overall rifle weight and helps control recoil and barrel harmonics, delivering consistent accuracy and reliable muzzle velocities even over extended shooting sessions. With a 1:8" twist rate, the barrel stabilizes a variety of 7mm Backcountry bullet weights, giving the shooter flexibility for both hunting and precision shooting scenarios. The 22" barrel length offers a balance of velocity and maneuverability, making this configuration ideal for field use, backcountry hunts, or long‑range work where light weight and portability matter.
