22 Creedmoor question

[mattmann]

Hello!

I’ve been reading and watching YouTube videos on the 22 Creedmoor and really want to build one. Would love to do it off a tikka action. Can someone point me to a post or video on the best way to accomplish this or lay it out for me here??

Which tikka and what caliber?
CF or steel barrel?
Who makes the best prefit barrels for these?

Thanks in advance!!

I have 18 and 20” prefits, and new actions in stock. Nothing easier…

Reach out by PM, I will give you my cell phone. I have a couple threads on the 22 creed as well. Love the 22 creed.

-any tikka and any cartridge with a standard bolt face (basically not 223 or a magnum)
-up to you. I like carbon for the aesthetic personally but steel is supposed to be more consistent
-again, lots of options and opinions. Preferred barrel blanks, carbon six, UM, sending a blank to a smith

Could also consider starting with a 1:8 22-250 Tikka and having it rechambered to 22 Creed. That does limit barrel length and contour options (depending on what you’re after).

Message @hereinaz and get dialed in with a Tikka 22 Creed

For your first get an action rebarrelled by a well known gunsmith

This is what I did and for what I paid am happy with the result. Standard stainless lite tikka - chopped to 18". When this barrel is done I will either hunt for a tikka takeoff or just go the preferred barrels route probably.

@hereinaz I sent you a dm. Let me know if you have time to talk. I’d love to talk through options. Thanks!

keep us posted on the build! will be doing one myself soon!

 

[mattmann]

Will do. I’d like this to be a super short (16” +/-) light weight rifle build. Hopefully I can get one built soon!

While I haven't done a rifle build with him... yet, I have purchased a couple of products and been very satisfied with both product and CS after the sale. I would buy from him without reservation. 10/10 Do recommend.
