Talk me out of buying a new rifle?

Figured I'd post here for anyone interested. Looks like the published weight is GtG. That goofy thread adapter is 1oz.

Thank you. I'm still a couple weeks out from receiving mine. Cannot wait!! I am curious what adapter set up you settle on.

99% sure it's gonna be the Area 419 hellfire, but I do have the luxury of being patient with this one and seeing if something better presents itself. If somebody made a m15x1 DT adapter I'd just buy this rifle it's own Can and call it good lol.

Here is what I previously mentioned. That would save you $100+ and  maybe an ounce over the Area419 Ti setup. A Ti version of that DT adapter would be ideal though.

It'll cost me $1000 because I'll buy another Can for it lol, kinda doing 1 Can per barrel thread pitch is what I'm ending up with. I don't want to swap hub adapters back and forth if I can help it. That's a solid option though and gets me up and running right now. I'm hoping somebody making titanium adapters will gear up for the m15x1 threads, maybe with more of these Tikka's hitting the market a little demand will spur it.

Feel like the Rokstock Lite is going to be outstanding for Tikkas in mild chamberings. That's something like a 12oz saving versus the factory Tikka stock.

With that many Creedmoors in the house, I can see a solid argument to stick with the 6.5CM. The 6 ARC (in my opinion), seems a bit underpowered for anything bigger than deer, and (though slower 223 and 308 powders work) to get the most velocity out of it you need something a little to slow for most 308/223, but too fast for Creedmoors. (that is assuming you reload)

If you don't reload, then with all the Creedmoors in the house, you can likely make the math look like you could save money by reloading (though in reality you probably will just shoot more instead).
