I have a 18” with can. It feels long but I’m used to SBRs and shorter guns. I don’t have many shots over 200 yards around here. But the added FPS is nice for longer pokes. Look at ballistic charts, figure in your average/max shot ranges and go from there. A few places I hunt would benefit from taking my 12.5” over the 18”. Especially if I’m mobile hunting some of my public lands.Anyone have a 16.5” barrel and wish they went longer?
Also had 1 hit with the 223 and 77’s that we did not recover. I think hit was back. Were not able to get another shot and the deer crossed onto private property that we couldn’t get permission to follow up.

I saw Ruger came out with a new version of their American rifles. They have a 20 inch and 16 inch 223 that are threaded with 1:8 twist. Looks like they're going to have 22 arc too
I am getting 2730 with my 18 inch tikka and black hills 77TMK. Congrats on the new gun!I gave in and bought a Tikka compact 223, SWFA 10x42 (since there's no sign of the 6x or the 3-9) and 1,000 Black Hills TMKs. Have an ambition to improve my shooting.
Anyone willing to share their actual muzzle velocity and or dope sheet with a 20" Tikka barrel and the Black Hills TMKs? I realize it's probably in here somewhere, but if so I'm not finding it.

I have the D18 Tikka 223 with 22.4" barrel and I'm getting 2850 with factory black hills 77tmks and suppressor.
I have the 10X and 6X,.... the 10X isn't bad at all. I'll admit the 6X is easier to use, and I do favor a variable. But I've taken sage rats as close as 10 yards, chucks out as far as 583 yards, and a badger at 659 yards all on the 10X.Thanks for the beta, everyone. My only problem is that 10x - I would really rather have either the 6x or the 3-9.
I thought of a solution, though. I ordered a t1x . 22lr, and when I can get one of the other two the 10x will be perfect for that.
Been needing to get an American or 3. Good thing I held off. My hunter in 6.5 is a shooter. The 22ARC is getting some interest from me. Not that I need it.I saw Ruger came out with a new version of their American rifles. They have a 20 inch and 16 inch 223 that are threaded with 1:8 twist. Looks like they're going to have 22 arc too

You’ll enjoy the T1X. I’ve had one in a KRG bravo chassis and loved it. I’m actually reverting it back to stock to match my 223 (with the vertical grip installed) just for more consistent practice. It’s a fantastic little rifle.
