I know this has been discussed in length. But to save having to read for hours...

Wanting to pickup a Tikka. I see the 16" on Euro.
I'll be shooting suppressed. Will this work? Save the $200 for a rings?

Or order a 20" from Scheels?

I want to shoot more. But my current hunting rifles are hot rods.

I had mine cut down to 16” because I wanted it in stainless steel and the cheapest one of those I could find was 20”.

Get the 16” one. I think you will be very happy with it.
 
I got one of the hunter model 223s from eurooptic, 16.1" with the wood stock. It's threaded 1/2-28. I wouldn't mind the extra velocity of a longer barrel, but it balances so nicely with a suppressor.
 
Thanks man

Those ones are Euro are threaded right?
When I bought mine it was not. I believe the new tikkas are threaded. But I bought mine off euro, its the heavier barrel (not a real heavy barrel) I went heavier because A it was cheaper and B I could thread it 5/8 24 instead of using an adapter.
 
I just picked up one of the new threaded 16” and FYI that’s measured including the threads of the barrel inside the receiver. So from end of the receiver to end of the muzzle it’s 15” which is nice for suppressor use.

There are two versions from Euro. There is one on MT Guntrader right now from a guy in Hamilton. 16” blued .223 Tikka T3x NIB for $600. Don’t know if he will ship it to GF. It has been listed for a month so he might be motivated to ship.
Edit: the one on MTGuntrader is not threaded
