Group Buy: Tikka Prefit 22 Creedmoor

[hereinaz]

You all are close to the numbers to get the 22 creed started. I'm working on options as fast as I can.

While I have the barrel companies on the phone...

Sounds like an 18", .223 wylde, 7 twist barrel threaded 5/8 might be popular enough?

Seems like Lawnboi has the preferred specs.

I am working off that right now as the front runner.

Lawnboi specs with the option for bare muzzle (no threads)

Curious why you're getting out. Going through barrels too fast to make it worth the trouble?

I would be looking for the same specs as Lawnboi above, perhaps maybe in a 20" rather than 18", but either is good. I'm not voting because it would really depend on the barrel maker and smith, etc and if I think the quality would be on par or above similarly-priced custom Tikka prefits (e.g. McGowen, Preferred in the $500-$700 range).

It’s not legal in a few states I plan to hunt. And barrel life. I like to shoot and don’t have a bunch of actions so the 22 creed ends up being a one year barrel. That and it’s not versatile enough in terms off barrel life to take out for varmints.

I’ll probably have another someday, just not with my current actions. I don’t like playing barrel swap all the time.

I’m going to give a dasher a try in a low recoil hunting gun.

Have them throated and twisted for the 88s? Common story on rechambered tikka barrels seems to be they aren’t ideal for the 88s.


22 CM prob makes the most sense for prefits w a 6CM already in the pipeline from Tikka.


Joking/not joking, but you could spec a 6-284. To me it makes more sense than a 6PRC or really a 6UM for that matter, standard bolt face, more mag capacity, quality brass.

Care to elaborate on this? I haven't seen anything on RS or elsewhere about Tikka producing a 6CM, but maybe I've been under a rock.

I talked with Marshall, he is starting a run of .223 barrels so I am pulling the trigger RIGHT NOW.

check out this thread with details to purchase right now for $485

I have variations for everyone in .223 Wylde and 22 creedmoor

I think the op @hereinaz actually posted about it somewhere after talking to the Tikka guys at shot show, maybe mid to late 2025?

It has been in SHOT Show threads here and YouTube videos.

I spoke with Tikka rep, they are releasing 6 cm in 2025, Q 2 or 3.
