What velocity are you getting on the 6 creed?

Not sure if it's just the angle of the picture but looks like the recoil lug isn't seated all the way since the bottom of barrel isn't parallel with the forend.

My exact thought at first glance. Maybe you're right and the angle of the pic is just weird

So far my dope has them going 2850 but I haven’t shot them over a chrono yet. Only have about 20 rounds through it. Hoping to finish out around 2900-2950, or 2850 if I cut the barrel to 18-19”.

Nice looking setup! How do you like the echo?

I removed some material off the forend. Theres a little more flex then id like in the stock and the magnum taper could touch depending on how Id load into the rifle. Overall the guns shooting great in the echo and for that $300 price point its hard to beat

Stainless T3 chambered in 6CM (18” barrel threaded 5/8-24)

Tikka missed the boat on this one. If they’d offered this as factory configuration 3 years ago, they would’ve sold a pile of them by now.

Just got the Peak 44 Blacktooth, 19.4 oz on my scale... Though dry fitting there is a 1/8 in gap on either side of the barrel in the taper area. I ordered the T3X Lite contour and measured the stock inlet dimensions compared to their specs and it lined up with what they had sent me. Just seems a little big.

Just means the stock is lighter and easier to fish crap out of the barrel channel if it gets in there

Higher score on the Rokslide Dead Cat Clearance index, that’s a feature not a glitch!

Cant say I'm familiar with the terms or that just flew over my head. Is there a trend with more clearance on RS now?

I don’t know if it qualifies as a consensus, but there is a large a proportion of the membership that would prefer more clearance than less. It helps prevent stock contact in less than ideal positions and also makes it easier to check for debris and clean out the debris. I think Form coined the phrase when he was talking about opening up a forend and suggested opening it up enough to make room for at least one dead cat.

Edit: found it

Centerfire rifle drop testing: Tikka/SWFA

I have written before that some T3’s (about 30% from what have seen) will shift up to around .3 mil/1” at 100 yards from 36” drops. In all cases that I have personally done so, spot bedding the tang and lug, and torquing action screws to 65 in-lbs has stopped that. As far as dropping your...
