I know your thread was from a while back. I Just recently joined. I have an Element in 6.5 PRC and would and will definitely be buying more of them. I love mine I don't think you would have anything to worry about with the aluminum. Great rifle and Great Customer Service.
the 6.5 PRC is not bad. You can shoot it all day suprisinglyNo experience with the Havak Element but Seekins Precision makes some good stuff. In regards to an aluminum action, magnum round with a lightweight stock, don't think the target audience is sending that many rounds downrange with it to really give a true torture test on it.
