I think it will be a while before we see a factory 7PRC, 6 Creedmoor, or 22 Creedmoor out of Tikka. While I know the first two have CIP approval, I am not sure about the 22 Creed. That being said, IIRC, it took them over 5 years to release a rifle in 6.5 Creedmoor after it was in production. Maybe closer to 10.
While Tikka does make great rifles, they move pretty slow when it comes to adding/changing chamberings or twist rates.
I have a 7RM that is now at the back of the safe. Once I get done building my 22 Creed and now a 6.5-06AI, I will most likely build a 7PRC or 7 Sherman Max out of it. Maybe a SAUM. Not sure yet. It would have been a 6.5PRC, but got a good deal on the 6.5-06AI barrel and it is close enough ballistically to the PRC that it dosn't make sense to have both. Plus, I am a sucker for the wildcats.
