Rebate is dead now right?
Believe its going through November 30th.Rebate is dead now right?
Beat me to it but it’s a pretty good deal too.Wanted to post this early black Friday deal I got from eurooptic. 1:8 twist, 16 inch barrel. Thread it and rock on..... or use the action. Price would be $575 with rebate.
Thanks, very convenient since I live close to a store and thus don't need to coordinate shipping with another FFL.
$594 with code “HARVEST24”
Edit - that also includes the rebate.
Have my mind pretty much made up to grab a tikka 223 for a trainer, unfortunately caliber minimums will keep me from using it from hunting in most states I typically hunt in. I am a little torn between the T3X 16" and the Roughtech Ranch. If my math is right there would be an approximate $300 difference after I put a rail, thread, and adapter on the standard T3. Other than the extra traction on the Roughtech, the fluted barrel and bolt are just aesthetics and I dont see any need for them.
Am I missing something on leaning towards the standard T3X 16" vs the Roughtech Ranch..?
not sure if directed at me, and if so, what that means?oh you're one of those people?
Probably a good natured joke about you needing a lefty action.not sure if directed at me, and if so, what that means?
@wind gypsy what are you planning to build? I’m considering a 6 creed on a tikka. Trying to find out if there is a best donor caliber, especially if planning to use the factory mag. More specifically, will a short action donor be fine with the bolt stop and mag spacer, or would the longer version allow you to optimize cartridge length?
I’ve never tried it but the internet says 2.83” in the standard m mags. That is enough for any 6 creed ammo I’ve loaded but there’s a chance it might be limiting if you wanted to be on the lands with something like a 112 MB.Thanks. The $629 .308 option has looked quite good if it feeds and loads the 6 creed fine

You’ll want more than one mag anyway and tikka mags are pretty cheap.
