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?

Apologies. Completely missed it.

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

Will these Superlite Roughtechs ever be offered with 5/8x24? Super tempted to pick one of these up, but the M15 threading is a pretty turn off for me.

Eld-x 143s? Curious on the speed as I have a 6.5CM 20" barrel arriving this week.

Damn I wish we had these deals up in canada

Buy it from euro optics and then have I RUN GUNS import it for you.

Are there any sources of a matching color set of rings to the tungsten finish of the Roughtech ember rifles?

These are from my 20” 6.5 CM Tikka with Hornady factory ammunition. The 140-grain ELDMs were the most accurate in my rifle.

So how much of the 6.5cm performance is a guy giving up between the slower Tikka and the shorter barrel?

Shrug…

Just thinking about the $$ I’m looking to spend and trying to make it look the part. Haven’t spent much thought on the topic to this point but also haven’t considered having something this nice either.
