Tikka .243 Win or hold out for a 6CM?

[Reddish]

My brother now has my Tikka .243 and I was going to pick up another Tikka one. But I thought about waiting to see if Tikka would release a 6CM for next year.

I don’t mind hand loading, but would be nice to buy ammo with better bullets if I wanted.

I wouldn't wait for Tikka to chamber a new caliber. Get a Tikka and rebarrel or just buy a 6 CM in a different rifle.

I’d get a .243. Get a 1/8 twist and good to go for heavy bullets. If you want a 6 creed down the road then put a different barrel on it

243 barrels burn out fast enough, just shoot it and rebarrel in a year or so.
