The Start of a 6.5 light elk build

Just the action.

Brownells stocks them exclusively, I believe. My 20" 6.5 with bronze cerakote was $450 (on sale). Some are more some are less. .243, 6.5, 7-08, 308

Hadn’t noticed. Thanks!

I was trying to find that one, only one i could find in a shorter barrel was a 22" in 6.5 on brownells, but sold out as well.

Ahh, I miss read your post. I was thinking they stocked the actions only. I have bought a couple barreled actions off there. I almost bought a super light but wasn’t sure about stock choices, until Stocky’s added it. And, wasn’t sure about barrel tenon thread.

What bottom metal do you use?

Damn you...lol...I was set on the tikka and now this has me second guessing it.

The only pause I really have is that super-lite action...means aftermarket stock options will be a lot less. I see Stockys offers one, but that seems to be about it.

I ordered the Tikka, time to figure out glass and rings, a stock, and suppressor, in that order.

Worst case scenario I'll use my CGS Hyperion for now. Its not exactly heavy by any means.

I am sorry. I should have said barreled action.

I am using the factory plastic for the time being. That said, I am gentle with my guns and do not over torque things as some do.

Got a chance to head up to northern michigan..had to borrow a scope but this new tikka worked out pretty well.

Not an elk..but it worked damn good on a white-tail. Blood trail was amazing with hornady eldx precision hunter rounds
