I want a short barreled 6.5 creedmoor to run with a dedicated supressor. My definition of short Is 18-20 inches. I'm thinking christensen mesa fft or possibly a tikka tx3. I hate the tikka stock so by the time I add a new stock price comes out about the same. Not looking for ultralight but want somthing in the 6-7 pound range. That way once I add scope and supressor I'm around 8 lbs. Any other good recommendations?

I just got a Kimber and tikka back from threading and shortening the barrels. Both came out great. I’d just buy what you like and send it out the get cut and threaded.
 
I have a Howa 1500 barreled action in a Peak 44 Blacktooth stock, cut to 16.5” with an SWFA 6x and a AB Raptor 8-stack suppressor with a 3” reflex mount and a 2# trigger kit from Gunbloke. It weighs 8.4# with scope, rings and suppressor. I took 2 deer this morning with it, and it might be the easiest gun to shoot that I’ve ever owned.

Not to change subjects but how do you like your AB raptor suppressor? I was looking at a cgs but liked the looks of the AB as well. Just doesn’t seem to be a ton of reviews on them.
 
It’s my first can and I’ve had it for a week, but I’m super happy with it. I picked it because of the flexibility and light weight. I could use it either refectory mount or a direct mount and I could switch out the front apertures to flex calibers. Since I got it I found that I prefer using the reflex because it’s quieter and has less recoil than without and I have not bothered to change the front end caps out. I’ve used it on a 6.5cm and a 300wsm and I love the heck out of it. Wish I’d gotten one 10 years ago.
 
Winchester makes suppressor ready short barreled XPR, I had one in the 6.5 CM great shooter and excellent trigger.
