No, I called around and somehow my local gunstore had one so I ran and grabbed it

I took the 24" 6mm Creedmoor CTR out today for the first time. I don't want to report groups yet but the Tikka shot all the ammo very well. I shot 105 gr Berger Hybrid Target, 103 gr ELD-X Black Hills, 80 gr ELD-VT Hornady V- Match, 107 gr Sierra Matchking Federal Gold Medal, Berger 95 gr Classic Hunter, 87 gr V-Max Hornady Varmint Express, and 108 gr ELD-Match Hornady Match.

Initial velocities in the high 70s were as follows (note that these speeds will increase so these initial speeds may be a bit slower than final speeds later)

105 gr Berger Hybrid Target, 2770.6 fps - 15 shots - 21.5 SD - (the SD here was massively affected by the first shot ever from the gun being slow by 80-90 fps versus other shots)
95 gr Berger Classic Hunter 2974.3 f[s - 10 shots - 22.9 SD
103 gr ELD-X Black Hills, 2823.6 fps - 10 shots - 20.3 SD
80 gr ELD-VT Hornady V- Match, - 3271.8 fps - 10 shots - 25.6 SD
107 gr Sierra Matchking Federal Gold Medal - 2858.3 fps - 10 shots - 10.3 SD
87 gr V-Max Hornady Varmint Express - 3046.0 fps - 10 shots - 13.1 SD
108 gr ELD-Match Hornady Match.- 2893.5 fps - 10 shots - 13.6 SD

That’s pretty slow. Like close to what I’d expect from my 18” barrels

Based on my experience, Tikka barrels are a touch slower than some other barrels but it will speed up some more as it initially fouls.

Has any one confirmed if the 22” barrels can be cut down to between 16-17” and still have enough diameter for 5/8”-24 threading without adding a collar?

It might be tough with the Lite barrel profile. I don't have the 22" Lite barrel in 6cm. I only have the 24" CTR profile 6cm. But I have a current model threaded Tikka T3x Lite 243 with a 20" barrel. At the threaded end , it is about 0.735 inches. At the 16" mark it is only about 0.660 which is probably too thin a shoulder for a 5/8 thread. You might have better luck with the CTR or Varmint profile.

@EuroOptic what is the approximate lead time for the backordered JRTXE32422MT (22" T3x Lite, black)?

I had a 6.5 creed t3x lite cut down to 17 and threaded 5/8x24, but my gunsmith added a collar.

I have a hunt I’m taking off on July 31st really counting on my JRTXB32422MT being here for it, is that a safe bet?

Probably close, I'm pretty confident they'll be here this week though.
Better check those emails / DM's / this post for when I say they are here so I can get it out to you ASAP
