Tikka 2022

[Nillion]

I saw the new iteration on the Roughtech for 2022. It’s nice they’re making them in SS now. Would rather see shorter threaded barrels offered on some calibers, though.

Looks like the 300 win mag has a 1:10" twist now also. That might just be the one for me this year.

I’m in the an ember in 6.5 prc. Would much prefer the Lite contour barrel vs the veil/roughtech heavier profile.

 

[AkRyan]

How about threaded 18-20" 8 twist 270 and 7mm wsms, either keep it t3 cheap or put an ultralight CF stock on them.
Screw $400 "upgrades" for useless paint jobs and texture griped tupperware stocks..

Couldn't have said it any better.

 

[unclericco]

Unfortunately still no fasts twists for the 270’s and I think no new cartridge offerings except possibly the 222 I saw. Also was hoping for a 6 Creedmoor. I’m tired of building rifles off their actions and would like to just buy and set up the rifle next time

 

[Trapperkid]

Grade aa or aaa walnut on a tikka with a crf would be epic but I could deal without the crf for the walnut stock

 

[Nhenry]

I'd fw a maple stocked deluxe edition, or a model that costs a little more with a metal floorplate and magazine

I’d like some more offerings in Lefty- but would be satisfied for the T3 Lite SS 30.06 that Iordered to come in or at least a shipping estimate. It’s ordered through a direct dealer and they won’t give any estimate.

Sportsman's, at least our local one is getting a fairly steady supply of the superlites.

Besides twist rates, I would actually dumb down the product line to keep costs reasonable. The whole point was to have accuracy and light weight without having to pay 3x more for a Finnlite.

Mine actually has a lefty but in 7mil. I’m going .06 but wouldn’t turn down a 308

 

[snarkscarbine]

Faster-twist barrels would be nice. Not super interested in a 6.5prc that can’t shoot 156s.

I backordered that rifle from EuroOptic this week. They are expecting them mid-late summer.

1:8 can shoot 156 just fine.

It can but it's not ideal, especially in cold temps at sea level.

This thread made me impulse buy a superlite in 6.5 Creedtard. My first rifle in that....”cartridge”.

And with a notoriously-slow tikka barrel. I know it’s possible in theory, but all of the variables combined don’t leave any margin.

Get ready to eat some words.

Tongue was firmly planted in cheek. I would expect no less from this rifle. The way I rationalize it, it was cheaper than rebarreling my tired 243 and altering it for longer magazine box.

You’ll probably have random mood swings for awhile, and randomly break out crying, but you will eventually adapt to your new normal… on the bright side, they recoil like a 22 short but can make it through 3 elephants lengthwise with factory ammo… life is all about compromise
