243 win vs 6mm creed

where did you get it? every compact I've seen from scheels, sportsman's warehouse and euro optic are all 1:10

I made my daughters a compact in about 20 seconds. Add a couple minutes running a drill bit in the screw holes to make them deeper. The pad was or is a little proud around the edge. I thought about grinding it to fit. Then I thought about a grind to fit pacmyer I have leftover from the high tech stock days. Then I decided to just wrap a little bit of the back with the same vet wrap I used to cover her suppressor to make it match the stock. Looks totally fine and the whole project took less than 5 minutes. If this was one of the beautiful wood stocks guys have been making it would be a different story but it's a factory synthetic stock I let her paint.

243 throat geometry isn't great for heavy match bullets, and if it was, prob too long for 95% of short actions out there.

6cm is the easy by button as there is no ammo at LGS for a 243 with heavies. Lots of 6cm options. Personally I'd want 7.5tw in either, so any these 8tw 243/6cm options would be non-starter for me.

I'm waiting on my 6saw reamer. Basically a long necked 6cm that 2.015 case length. Holds same capacity as 243, but doesn't have the short neck and low angle shoulder, 0.150 Freebore will be fun. Hoping for 3k fps top end from a 20in barrel wirh the new 115-117 tmk.

I thought all the new tikka 243s are 1:8 twist?

Pretty much
Tikka does what they want though and sometimes I get weird stuff
