Chopped 6.5 CM options

[jadkins223]

I want a 18” lightweight (ish) 6.5 CM in 5/8x24 threading for a kiddo rifle. I’m not finding many factory options.

What platforms are there for buying and chopping down? I don’t want 1/2x28 and don’t want to run an adapter.

I don’t think tikka t3x allows 5/8 from what I’ve read at 18”.

It’s a kid rifle so I want it to budget friendly.

Why wouldn't you want an adapter? It's impossible to even know it's there once installed.

Howa or Browning X Bolt are the only factory options other than Tikka that I would consider.

What's your budget? The Christensen Ridgeline Scout is 16.25" threaded 5/8, mine shoots right around 1" 10 round groups with 147 ELDM factory fodder...

I think this is the factory option people are going with:
