If it doesnt work out, you're not really out anything.

Is the Swede on the right? What kind of accuracy does that one have?

Anyone cut a tikka barrel that was shooting well and then it shot poorly after the barrel was cut?
My tikka roughtech 6.5 with a 24” barrel shoots really well but would like to make it more nimble and lighter weight by cutting it down to 18” (I shoot suppressed)

The only negative thing that I’ve heard from a reputable source isn’t really length related, but cutting threads with dull cutters creating a few ten thou of bore constriction. At first I thought that sounds like bs, but a gunsmith that slugs barrel bores when diagnosing accuracy issues says he’s seen it a number of times.Anyone cut a tikka barrel that was shooting well and then it shot poorly after the barrel was cut?

What length did you cut your 308?Used the same method for my 308. Accuracy was the same after as it was before. Excellent.
18”. 2510 with factory Norma Swift A Frames and 2530 with factory Norma Bondstrikes.What length did you cut your 308?
