WTB Tikka 22 inch 6.5 PRC or 300 WSM Prefit or Takeoff Barrell (lightweight is a bonus)

Hoping to convert my old .308 T3 Superlite into something with a little more punch. Looking for a budget barrell if possible. Flexible on length and chambering if I find a great deal. Thanks in advance.

Without messing with your bolt face 30-06 & 280ai are my 2 suggestions. You may be able to rechamber your 308, but you will need the right mag.

Yea those both require a different bolt. Could likely find a trade though.

Bump. Some interesting offers so far. Going to look for another week or so before pulling the trigger.

Keep your standard bolt face and go with a 6.5x284. For cheap, you could pick up a 6.5cm takeoff barrel and have it rechambered. That is, if you’re not ocd about having the right stamp on the barrel lol.

Interesting option. How is ammo availability? Unfortunately, I don't hand load...yet.

Oh, well, I wouldn’t do it then. There is factory ammo available but it really shines when hand loaded.
