Threading a .30 cal Tikka t3x superlite or lite

[Tahoe1305]

Reviving a late post, but how did this turn out for you? Do you have any pictures?

Asking because I can pick up a 6.5c superlite on sale and get it chopped to the length I want before the new threaded models come out.

Had it a few years now. No issues. I’ll go snag a picture. Give me a few minutes

Thanks!

Didn’t know if you had threaded into the flutes or not. Looks good - glad you’ve enjoyed it!

Yeah I’m not a fan of threading that far but many have. You can get it down to about 21” and stay out of em.

That’s a reasonable length IMO. Mines 21.5”.

I had mine threaded down into the flutes then shouldered for 5/8x24. It’s awesome.

Who did that work for you? It looks awesome and I'm hoping to do the same thing

A 6.5 superlight cut through the flutes, threaded 1/2x28 with a 5/8x24 adapter .

Totally fine. There is more wall thickness with the 6.5 bore

Just had my Tikka 308 threaded it's 1/2-28. Put an adapter on it to 5/8-24. Lots of options.
