Tikka 6CM

[EuroOptic]

That's just because they're giving the entire first shipment of 6CM to Jake so there is no point in listing them on their site until all the Roksliders who want one have one, right, @EuroOptic ?!

No no. Beretta rep on an airplane leaving shot show was working on a future project in plain view. That project was…T4X.
The 2026 shot show thread has some more details. That’s all

Is this still happening or what. I saw they took them off of their website?

 

[MTlan66]

Can anybody shed light on the 6cm release?Was it just a bad joke?

 

[nm.otter]

Likely just released prematurely, then pulled back.

Beretta realized they couldn't keep up with demand after seeing this and other RS threads and canceled the 6 creed. Something about a fast twist 243 being just as good....

Not if you don’t reload!

Even if you do reload, the creed is better. I have a fast twist Tikka 243 and chose to get a 6 creed barrel and I reload.

What made you want to switch to the 6 creed? I just got my tikka 1:8 .243. I’m going to keep it as such for now, but I’m interested in hearing from those that started with the .243 and made the switch.

I literally just sent Jake @EuroOptic a message about 6.5 PRC, to build a 6 UM… Then I see all this shit about the 6 CM factory rifle. Decisions decisions. A factory superlight 6 creedmoor with a triji credo would really be great for my mule deer hunt this year.

The differences are small, and I would throw away a good 243 barrel to switch.

Correct throat for the heavy bullets (I have to load heavies pushed back into the case on the 243), and alleged reduction in need to trim brass given the 30 degree shoulder. I'm still working through the 250 unfired cases I have, so not reused brass yet.

The other advantage is I need slightly less powder and I am getting better velocity from the 6 creed.

Other differences I have noticed is 243 feeds a little smoother. With the 6 creed my first sign of pressure is a heavy bolt lift. With the 243 I would not notice a heavy bolt lift until I was leaving a rased ejector mark.


Warning, off topic ramble follows:

I think a 6 SLR would be the best of both, but not worth the effort. 30 degree shoulder, but preserving the case taper for more reliable extraction.

I considered a 6 GT, but given my like of 16 inch barrels, decided I valued the extra velocity potential of the 6 creed more.

I also considered a 6 NSI (6-6.5 PRC), but that is getting into the realm of short barrel life I would rather not mess with at present.

To avoid errors when my kids start shooting more, I think I will avoid using the same case for multiple calibers. So, my fast 22 will likely be a 22 GT, my 6 mm with stay a 6 creed. That way a kid doesn't put a 22 creed in a 6 creed and trash a suppressor.

I love the 243 for the 95Gr TMK and NBT but the 6CM is better optimized for using the heavy for caliber bullets IMO.

Note the case capacity to bore area ratios:

This is my understanding as well. I already have some 103 ELDX’s I’m hoping I can get to shoot. Definitely interested in the 95 TMK, but I’ve heard they can be finicky. I wonder what will possible with the new 107 and 116 TMK out of these fast twist .243’s? Worth experimenting with?

Very worth experimenting with. Throating one deeper can easily be done in under an hour, for less than $50. Two factory Tikka barrels were used to test the new 116s, both shot them well.
If the 243 has an advantage besides feeding, it's the ability to utilize H1000 to extend barrel life. I'm only a little over 500 rounds into testing that, but some match shooters claim 2500+ rounds of barrel life.
That said, if you decide to sell that barrel, I'm almost always looking to buy one.

I throated my factory 243 barrel about 0.100 deeper. Perfect for seating 108s and 112s where they should be and probably pretty good for the 116tmk. It's very accurate, although seemingly a little slower than expected. I like it, I just don't like the friggin trimming.

I was actually able to hit pressure with h1000 and 112s. It was something like 48gr or so, maybe more. Can't remember.
