PVA Taperless Tikka Pre-fit weights

[pods8 (Rugged Stitching)]

How has your time on this barrel been?

I'm getting ready to order the same barrel or (another) .750 taperless with spiral fluting.

I think the .680 will get me under 9 lbs with a few other tweaks I want to do anyway.

Haven’t shot it yet, sorry no useful feedback yet.

PVA .680 Taperless 18" 6 Creed with 6 straight flutes is 31.45 oz.

Looks like 2oz lighter with flutes vs no flutes for that configuration.

Yeah its real close to my unfluted 22 Creed PBB barrel (32.25oz), which would probably be lighter in 6 Creed. By the time I add an OG adapter for the 6.5 OG it will probably be the same or more.

I was commenting versus my pva barrel which is exactly the same (PVA .680 Taperless 18" 6 Creed) but non-fluted, its 2oz more (33.4oz).

I got yah, I just jumped ahead with more chatter.

The UM OG adapter for 1/2" to 5/8" is only .4oz so the .680 taperless is still lighter than the PBB Hybrid.

are you using rockset to bond the adapter to the barrel or a different method?

Blue loctite on the adapter and grease and "the snap" on the suppressor.

I tried some Rocksett and may have used too much and lost an adapter inside an AB Raptor. Got it back with blue loctite.

I have the exact same but 6 GT and no flutes: 42.7 oz.

Saving a quarter pound with fluting is pretty solid.

Playing with dressing up the Barbie's today.

16.5" PVA 0.750 tapperless in 6 creed. 5/8x24 threads.


Factory Tikka 308 cut to 16.5" with adapter to 5/8x24.


Factory Tikka 243 cut to 17" with adapter to 5/8x24.


It should be obvious, but the scale was zeroed with the cup on it.

Something you don't see come up much with the 22 versus 6 banter is you get a lighter rifle with the 6.

I'm guessing factory Tikka 223 cut to 16-17" is pretty close to that PVA
