6mm creedmoor tikka project.

[Kimber7man]

Possibly need the M+ mag? I could be wrong. I’m really not a tikka guy, but I thought I saw somewhere 6.5 creed used a mag with a little longer internal length. Someone else might know better.

yep, can use the M+ mag with a lot of the short actions. Might need to modify the bolt stop to feed.

A Tikka in 6 Creedmoor is #1 or #2 on the list for my next build if it ever happens. Already have a Mcmillan Game Hunter for it but I already have too many guns lol! W ould kind of rather Tikka just chamber it then I don't have to spend so much cash?

How short would you guys consider taking a threaded 6 creed for suppressor use?

I'm building a 6.5-284 on my Tikka 270 right now, but I can see picking up another and spinning on a 6CM to drop in my Sako Hunter stock for a nice, light hunter.

18’ish inches. Nothing more than 22”.

Ive got a 20”. Works great

SAAMI took care of the twist rate and Hornady got ammo squared away. Seems like everyone is jacked on a PRC something.

6CM T3 would be a good excuse to buy a rifle.

+1

I’ve had a handful of 20” 6mm creeds and several 6x47 lapuas 20” and they would run a 108 at 3050-3150 depending on barrel and 69gr bergers at 3580-3630 depending on the barrel.

What's the main draw to 6 CM typically? Is it just a low recoil target/practice round like 6x47 or are guys hunting with it? Basically I'm trying to figure out what my excuse is to get one.

 

[Dhbwa]

Like a 243 but normally twisted and throated properly for today’s bullets. Plus factory ammo shoots accurately with decent velocity...

I’ve been threatening to do this ever since I got my wife a cheap Ruger American 6mm Creed. Nothing would be better except the 25creedmoor I’m planning..

Prefit went on with no hiccups...headspace was perfect. Factory barrel came off with a outside action wrench and a cheater bar.

How’s it shoot? Considering one of these profits for an upcoming project. And where did you order the barrel?

 

[Trees91]

Haven’t gotten a chance to shoot yet, waiting on rings and nicer weather. I just ordered the barrel from midway. One of the few places that had it in stock.

 

[Trees91]

It’ll shoot. 108 eldm, target is a 1” dot. Gotta get out and shoot some more but it’s well under a moa gun.

can you elaborate and compare these? which has the longer neck? which has the most capacity? general observations. dies?

i just got a new barrel in to replace a worn out 243.

Did you get a chance to get out and hunt with this rifle? If so, how did the 6cm perform?

 

[Trees91]

I did not. Ended up selling it not long after I put it together. I gotta imagine it hunted a lot like any other tikka. Probably very comparable to a T3x in 243.. I have no doubt that it would have made a excellent deer and antelope gun.

What compelled you to end up selling it?

I've just never warmed up to the tikkas. I've bought and sold a few in all sorts of configurations. They always shoot well, they just don't do it for me. That and I put the money towards a custom I was building. Some people hold onto everything. If I'm not using it or I don't love it, it goes down the road...
