I'm out of the market but I had to buy 2 20s when I needed trainers for my boys.

Wish they were 16s.

16" blued was a choice but I said Naw.

This thread shows just how autistic the general Rokslide base is, and I absolutely love it. Can't wait to sink some time and energy into my .223 rifle and handloads.

That would be cool. Its been hard not to buy one of the non threaded ones on the site, but I'd instantly have to spend money to get it threaded......

Yes please!

Although with the new suppressors coming in at 4" +/- I don't mind the 20" threaded options at all

NO, ABSOLUTELY NOT! I am steadfastly against this!

I just bought a blued and now I’m gonna have to tell her I want the same gun in stainless?????

You’re going to be responsible for a divorce….Damn your hides!

Easy fix. Paint the blued barrel one silver so it matches the new stainless. She’ll never know.

Oh yeah, forgot to explain. I pulled the floor plate off of a Poly 10 rd mag, cut the magazine and follower down and re-attached the floor plate. Voila
5 Rd Poly mag.

Yes.

I will be making a Tikka purchase in 2026. Hoping for a 6 creedmoor, 16 inch barrel, factory threaded, stainless would be great. 243 may be the backup option.

Being this is in the 223 thread though, you referring specifically to that option in 223 or you think it could be a standard option in several calibers?

Yes I would LOVE a tikka t3 lite with a 16 " or preferably an 18" threaded barrel in 223.
