How light can you get a tikka?

I owned a 5.5# 30-06 that only shoots worth a damn with 180 grain bullets. It's a thumper but isn't unpleasant. Certainly less recoil than heavy turkey shot or slugs out of a shotgun. If it wasn't such a hassle to get the pencil thin barrel threaded for a can id still own it.

Better than shotgun slugs? That’s comforting

The only shooting I do that I don’t like is patterning a turkey gun, and sighting in a slug gun… both just suck

Talking 6lbs bare rifle? This is a 20” preferred barrel hybrid lite contour 6.5 prc with a Trijicon credo hx 4-16x50 sitting in talleys sitting in a Stockys ultra carbon verticle grip stock. Barrel rifle goes 5lbs 14oz. If you want the factory lite contour you’d be under 6lbs by a few oz. If you went Stockys ultra carbon traditional style stock you’d be almost 5.5lbs

Would you mind showing a cple more pics of your full build if you get a chance. I’m starting a build myself and want a 20” 6.5 prc. Only thing holding me up is picking the barrel contour. Thx!
