EUROOPTIC TIKKA END OF LIFE SALES

Looking at the .223s. Is it a better option to get the 16” barrel and have it threaded or a longer barrel cut to 16” and threaded? Might be a stupid question but want to make sure.

It cost me $135.00 to have the barrel cut and threaded.

I’ll pass on those.

To each their own - my family, close hunting friends, and I have killed somewhere around 27-28 big game animals the last handful of years with 139 scenars (6.5 creed) and 150 scenars (7 rem mag)...They are accurate, easy to load for killing bullets.

Get whichever is cheaper.

How were the blood trails?

I haven’t had any trouble finding accurate loads with any bullet I wanted to use.

I see those wood stocks go for 300+ on eBay that'd certainly help kickstart a Tikka build

Threading is usually cheaper than cut/crown/threading (not major difference but it is usually cheaper) so if you want 16" and can get that length off the get go for the same price or less then go for it.

I think mid 200s is more common and then fees will eat the net return down to more like $200. But yes if the rifles are the same price vs the synthetic stock and you plan to replace it that is a lil boost.

I'd buy a new rifle but exact 0 rifles they are offering are 10 twist 300WSM and I just bought another Howa Mini Action in 223.
