Tikka barrel swap

[Matt5266]

I'm completely new to swapping barrels. I have Tikkas I just havnt removed barrels yet. I'm excited about the whole idea though. Is there a list that shows barrel faces that will work with other cartridges? Do I need a whole new bolt? Bolt face opened up? I assume I would need a new bolt release at the very least?

I'm looking to spin off a 3006 barrel and wanting to get a 22 Creedmoor. Not sure how much it is going to take as far as swapping parts, aside from a new barrel obviously.

Any help is appreciated.

Thank you

New barrel is all that is needed for that. You could do the short action bolt stop and magazine if you want but you don't have to. Short action cartridges feed fine from full sized tikka magazines.
