I’d highly recommend starting with a Tikka in .22-250 with the 8 twist barrel. Have it re-chambered to 22 Creedmoor keeping the factory barrel and then chop to 18-20” and thread for a suppressor.
Throw it in a Rokstok and go buy a bunch of factory Hornady Precision Hunter 80 ELDX ammo and get to shooting! If you reload the 77 TMKs shoot phenomenally and kill well. If you’re a long range high BC guy the 88 ELDM is a little beast, I’ve shot mine to 1,200 yards with consistent hits on 12” plates.
That’s exactly what this gun is, and I have another one just like it. It has 1,200 rounds down the barrel and killed 13 big game animals in 2024. No signs of slowing down yet.
Highly recommend this route! It’s a point and click and watch hits, little killing machine.
