Tikka 223 used, what do we think

[9487329]

Should I buy it, toss the sling, and sell the scope?

 

[Q_Sertorius]

What is the twist rate on the barrel?

If I didn’t already have one, I would definitely pick up a secondhand one. But I might ask them to take the scope off and not have to pay for something I don’t want.

I would buy it without the scope, bipod, or sling.

I paid about $600 for a second hand stainless steel 1:10” Tikka. I think the one you have on hand there is a good choice.

1-8"? Harris swivel bipod? Haggle a hundred off the rifle if you can and sell the scope for 100.

I don't think they'll split it. Probably can get $250 for everything, which drops the price down to $550 which ain't bad. I want to eventually make it 6 arc. I like the stainless action too... Hmm

 

[HuntHarder]

Don't forget 75$ rebate right now on new ones too. I just bought 2 new tikkas for 1150$ after taxes and rebates. Not stainless

 

[atmat]

Probably not worth it.

Side note: which Scheels is it at?

Aww man, you're going to rebarrel it out of a fast twist .223!? I bet you could get a less desirable slow twist donor cheaper.
