Are you interested in a Tikka T3X in .223 with a stainless steel, 16" factory-threaded, 1:8" twist barrel?

[thinhorn_AK]

I’d like to buy one.

 

[Mauser1909]

I’d be down for one.

 

[JulietFoxtrot]

I’d be interested. Especially if they did a 308 as well.

Came across this barrel and thought some in this group may be interested

WTS Thread 'Tikka 223 Barrel 1-8t'

Bought this gun originally to use as a trainer rifle. With how busy life has been I have minimal time to shoot so having a trainer rifle doesn’t make sense at the moment. I’m just shooting my normal hunting rifles. I turned this rifle into a 25 CM. Anyways…

Factory Tikka T3x 223 stainless 1-8t was chopped to 20” and threaded to 1/2x28 by local gunsmith. Barrel has approximately 150-175 rounds down the tube. Shot factory Hornady ELDM ok, but it shot the ADI 55 grain Sierra Blitzking lights out!

That’s a good dea. There’s a different guy trying to sell a blued takeoff for more than this.

I would buy one of these.

I'd probably be in for one depending on where the price comes in. Probably not if it's at a premium to the normal price for a t3x light ss.

Same, if it's similar to the normal Tikka price, Im in. If its a tricked out model with a bunch of stuff I don't need and it costs 1300, Im out.

Agreed. What I discussed with Jake was a basic T3X lite, just like the standard 20” one, but with a 16” barrel threaded 5/8x24.

That's exactly what I'd be after.

Mid-week bump.

Honestly my kids could use a 223 trainer. I'd be down for a 16" threaded if the price is good.

 

[TheM1DoesMyTalking]

Yes, there is demand for this lite stainless 16" threaded configuration. Give us a SKU and we'll be off to the races!
