The Raven: Unknown Munitions Tikka Clone action coming soon?

[Schmo]

@Ryan Avery How much would you guess bolts alone will be?
With the understanding this a best guess and not set in stone.

I’m gonna take a guess that it’ll be $400-$500 for a complete bolt assembly.

Hard sell when a guy can buy a complete Stainless 6.5 PRC for $600 now from EuroOptic.

You might have just cost me 600 bucks. That’s too hard to pass up

I get that, but a bolt with interchangeable heads would have value for me. Let’s say I want to leave my 223 trainer set up year round, but during the off season, I’d like to take the barrel off of my 6 PRC and shoot an standard bolt face 6mm or 22 cal. That’s where it would have value for me. Tikka stripped bolt bodies are $200-$300.

yeah, i've been trying to find a reason to need one too but am drawing blanks.

Only if you're a righty

I called procision arms last week to ask about the interchangeable bolt faces, they said its more of a bolt body that you can change, different than how a zermatt bolt face changes.

 

[Deadspace]

I may have missed it but will this be available with an ARC bolt face?

This is the way… it cost me $677 with tax and shipping (and after a $25 coupon) to purchase a 20” 22 ARC prefit barrel and bolt face for my Seekins Slam M3.. Not to mention the money I saved from not having to buy another scope and ring set..

22 arc from December to August for training… 6 CM from September to November for hunting. Same rifle, two calibers within a < 10 minute barrel and bolt face swap with no special tools needed

UM will sell plenty of ARC bolts if available…

You can get a really nice Tikka bolt body from here https://www.prprecisionrifles.com/ I bought one to go from a magnum Tikka bolt to a standard bolt. It's only $350. Very nice workmanship.

Always nice to have another source. JA is cheaper tho for a OEM bolt body

Actually JA is a bit more, I think the Canadian source is higher quality and finding them in stock at JA can be iffy. I like JA and have bought quite a bit of stuff from them, it was the first place I looked.

JA is $299. Yours is $350. How does that make JA more expensive?

$350CAD?

350 CAD is around 250 USD.

This would be neat if you offered ARC builds (22, 6) because the process now requires either a bushing or a bolt opened up. That alone would be worth it- and if someone wanted a 18” 6arc with all the tikka benefits in a rokstok lite it sure would be a pretty awesome one gun set up.

And for the rest of us, just getting a 6arc bolt would be good enough.

I understood him saying that it was $350 USD. My bad

 

[nm.otter]

Hoping to see 6mm GT and .22 GT offerings.

I am a lefty. Lefty is $369.

Sorry if this has been discussed but do we know if there will be any modifications done to the action to better handle new higher pressure cartridges? My understanding is that the Tikka action is not equipped to run these cartridges.. I'm not interested in a 7BC but wouldn't be surprised if there was a 6mm version in the next year or two that I was interested in.. Seems like a good feature to help "future proff" the Raven and my potential investment (purchase) here.
