NEW - Tikka Roughtech SuperLite - 5.8 lbs - NEW

[Buckshot85]

I’m curious, I keep reading here that Roughtechs have the metric thread pitch on the barrel.
I bought a Roughtech about 2.5 years ago. Mine is 5/8-24. Why would they use 2 different pitches?

Awesome fast shipping from EuroOptic, signed papers on this yesterday. Hopefully it shoots half as good as it looks and feels. Tikka did a nice job on this model

Really love this gun, only had some factory ammo so not impressed with fps but accuracy was spot on. Target pic was the last 3 shots I fired.

Normal Roughtech models, including the Specter, should have the heavier (D18?) barrel profile and 5/8-24 muzzle thread.
EuroOptic has an exclusive Roughtech Superlite as well (what this thread is about) that has the normal lite contour barrel and M15x1 muzzle threads.
Newer Tikkas are standardizing on the 5/8-24 muzzle threads by taking the lite contour and flaring it out at the muzzle.
Hope that helps.

All of this is correct
only thing worth noting is the 16" Roughtech ranch 223 being threaded 1/2x28
