The Raven: Unknown Munitions Tikka Clone action coming soon?

[nm.otter]

My understanding is that the Tikka action is not equipped to run these cartridges.

That would be extraordinarily unlikely.

That would be extraordinarily unlikely.

Can you explain?

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..

Your understanding is incorrect.

 

[nm.otter]

Can you explain?

The 80k load is almost entirely borne by the case, which does not expand like a brass case does. Pressure borne by the action is almost entirely in the throat. Steels used in actions and barrels have yield strengths well north of 200,000 PSI. EU actions are rigorously tested to higher pressures than ours.

Probably a little late for requests, but if this thing had a quick-change barrel option (ala Terminus/Seekins) it'd be perfect. Guessing that would require a little tenon modification, though.

Also, by my math, a Ti option would be like 18.2 oz. That would be neat.

With an integrated pic rail to easily and quickly remove your scope, it’s about a 5 minute job to put the barrel in a barrel vise and use an action wrench to change out barrels. Super easy.
