Tikka 7mm rem mag

[MikeLakey11]

Have anyone ever cut down there tikka 7mm rem mag to 20” to run a suppressor on it with any success?

look up the "chopped magnums" thread there are some guys in there that have. I wouldn't sweat it as long as you have a can rated for it.

Bro i have had 3 of them, they go great just ensure you get an over barrel suppressor really helps with balance.

But im dumb and keep changing what ill hunt with 3 of my mates i sold them too are still using my old set ups
one day ill learn haha

Not quite cutting down a factory barrel, but have a 22" Proof Prefit with a Scythe that hasn't managed to blow off yet (knocking on wood).

I have a tikka 7 Rem Mag and I had it threaded to add a muzzle break (I cant use suppressors in CA) But even If I could I wouldn't cut down the barrel. First I wouldn't want to give up the loss in FPS and I don't like the look of the shorter barrels. If I were to go with a suppressor I would leave the barrel stock and go with an over the barrel suppressor (used a similar setup to that in New Zealand and loved it)

ive got a scythe bought I'm waiting to come in so unfortunately for me over the barrel suppressor is out and I wanna keep the length down as short as I can for backpack hunting and any loss in weight is just fine as well with me. im not to scarred of the FPS loss as it would still carry a pretty decent amount of spreed

I rebarrelled my tikka 7mag to a 23” carbon and hang a 9” can off the end of it. Hunted all last season with it and loved it. Sure, overall length is longer than I’d prefer but it really wasn’t an issue at all.

Thread '20” 7mm Rem Mag, suppressed???? '

Nov 21, 2020

Hello,

I have a Tikka T3x Lite in a 7mm Rem Mag. I have been wanting to cut it down to a 20” barrel because I am going to be running it suppressed.

I know I will loose velocity, but I am currently getting 3000+ FPS out of the factory 24” barrel and I think the lessened velocity with be manageable. I am concerned about overall noise and muzzle flash when not shooting suppressed.

Has anyone ever done anything like this with a magnum caliber?

I cut down my t3x lite 7 rem mag to 20” and run a evo harvester on it with no issues.

that's pretty tempting. I'm trying decide between a tikka t3x 7 rem mag and a t3x 6.5 prc

For what it is worth, I kind of wish my 7mag was a 6.5 prc.

I only bought the 7 because it was on sale at the time. It recoils a fair bit more for the exact same ballistics as my other 6.5mm

I like my 7mm and have the most confidence in it but I know the 6.5 will do the job just as well so I will likely load it up with 156 Bergers and chop the barrel on it
