Tell me what 6 mm Tika prefits I should stock.

I'm looking towards a future 6prc prefit

All I need is one other person and I will buy some in my next batch.

Seems this is the division between preference.

If weight is a priority then 1/2 and lighter contour. If weight is not as important, then 5/8. I say I have to agree.

Now, if I could get a custom profile ultralight and flared for 5/8, is that the sweet spot?

Probably
Or fluted?

Speaking solely for myself, tikka lite contour is plenty light and I'd have no desire to go lighter. Frankly the lite hybrid at 20" and shorter is probably preferred by me to get a little more weight. 5/8 threads regardless if it needed to be flared is my preference as well.

Fluting works, but adds a separate process than turning the blank. For cost effective production, the flare is better.

But, offering a fluted hybrid light would definitely work.

Yes sir, I believe that would appease the masses.

Well not everyone on Rok is a total cheap ass

Just most everyone

I will add some fluting to popular prefits for sure. I really want one of their 12 Helical flutes on a #3 contour for my next Nucleus barrel.

7 twist is faster than 7.5 twist.

Yes. I proposed 8 twist

@hereinaz I hope the first round was a raging success! Any chance you do this again with 6mm ARC in the mix?

It was successful, I am working on timing for the next one which will be mostly 6 mm. Watch for another thread to gather interests for which makes the list.

What are the specs that you want for the 6 arc? Action?

Tikka 18” 8 twist. Tikka light or similar profile and threaded please

Tikka action, 16” 1/8 twist barrel, lite hybrid profile with 5/8x24 threads. The exact same for a 22ARC but with a 1/7 twist.

@hereinaz any of the above 16 or 18 inch as light as possible with less costly of 1/2-28 or 5/8-24 muzzle threads 6 ARC for T3X

Sounds like I can order at least 5 6mm 16” or 18” 6 ARC.

Do I go 18” or 16”? My goal is to have barrels that I can sell and won’t be on the shelf long. I want to get barrels that people want, even in smaller niches.

It ties up a lot of capital to have barrels on the shelf, which means I can’t buy barrels that others want.

If you said 16” or 18”, can I split the difference and do a 17” barrel?

Nope. 16” and I’ll prepay

I would be in on a 16" Tikka 6arc as well. 18" would be second choice.

I would love a 6ARC Tikka. How would one make the necessary changes to the bolt?

Typically, have a smaller face opened by a gunsmith and adjust the extractor. I don't know about Tikka.

I have had two Howa Mini opened up from ARC to .308.

I recall want a 6ARC Tikka, but the Howa or a Ruger American are so easy to get that it is hard to justify the extra expense of a new rifle + new barrel + gunsmithing.
