6ARC Tikka

Anyone tried one of these actions? https://jaoutdoors.com/product/tikka-grendel-arc-action/
I really want to hit the easy and cheaper button and buy a tikka 223 as a trainer and for the S2H school next year.

But I really like my 6 arc gasser. And a bolt gun would make a lot of sense. I'd just have to make sure I keep my hand loads labeled and separate for each gun.

Only problem would be getting/making 1000 rounds of arc ammo vs ordering 223/5.56 ammo from PSA. Also the wait time on a barrel.

You need 1000 rounds for the school, right? Not much else to do but reload I suppose when it's -40 in Montana in the winter.
 
[mention]Formidilosus [/mention] can you help me bug [mention]ryan_avery [/mention] and [mention]Unknown Munitions [/mention] to make their tikka clones in 6 arc??? Think they'd sell like hot cakes. I didn't realize how much of a cult following this round had until I started making my gasser. Think the Facebook group has several thousand followers.

You didn't tag the people you were trying to. There is a space behind their name and that breaks the coding.

Seems Tikka is a little out of touch with their American customers on what calibers we use. Spending almost 2k to make a Tikka in a caliber that's available by a lot of the American manufacture is crazy But if I wanted a cheaper hobby I would take up knitting or something.

I'm interested in that action. Maybe after I shoot out this Howa Mini in 22 ARC I'll look at it but honestly, that action costs more than a Mini or Ruger American and you don't have a barrel or stock yet. Hopefully the Raven will have the right bolt face that you could just buy another bolt for an action you already have.

I don’t have the money to do this right now, but could a guy buy one of the heavily discounted 350 legend Tikkas on euro-optic and then just buy a barrel and get the bolt opened? I think you’d come in around $1000 at that point, maybe a little less depending on barrel cost and ability to sell the 350 legend barrel.
