Tikka blowout sale on EuroOptic up to 35%

[TheViking]

It’s a boat load of fun with my CGS Hyperion bolted on.

A lot easier to not have to bother with muffs, batteries, etc.

Plus the recoil reduction.

Having an internal dilemma…PH3 6 creed, this Tikka 6.5 CM, PH3 6.5 PRC…fack lol

I don’t love tikka stocks, so I’d replace it and it would put me roughly (little less) in the same price range as a PH3.

As a non reloader, there are WAY more options for factory ammo in 6.5 creed.

Buy the drover!

Correct. My roughtech lite came with an adapter that screws on, once you see it you see that there wouldn’t be enough meat on the barrel for it to be threaded to 5/8x24

It adapts up to 5/8x24, correct?

 

[sndmn11]

It's a 308

Yes m15x1 muzzle threads with adapter from m15x1 to 5/8x24. Here are pictures with 5/8 direct thread suppressor using adapter and another with a tbac cb that’s threaded in m15x1 and not utilizing the adapter.

You da man, thanks!

I have the same can. I have the 5/8” CB brake. What’s your preferred method to attach it?

It’s shorter and I think it’s cleaner looking with the m15x1 CB brake so I’ll run tbacs on it with no adapter.

I have the same thought. The PH3 is very appealing with the barrel lengths

 

[david2duck]

Buy a PH3 so you can report back to us. Thanks in advance.

I don’t know, but is it true the sights are not adjustable for windage?

I can confirm that is unfortunately correct, just the elevation is adjustable. Unless….. you want to knock the circle off the front post and give it a couple love taps!!

caliber is subjective to me. I havent found a reason to go 6.5 PRC thats logical, other than guys saying "not enough gun past 500", which seems to be irrelevant for all the data I found to show that most guys dont shoot them past 500 anyway, when it comes to elk.

I like the stock on the PH3. It looks like what I'd want out of a hunting stock. Might be worth it if it works for you. Im replacing the stock on my tikka as well (and knew I would), so all in I'm going to be past $1500 anyway.

I’m leaning towards lesser and lesser gun. I used to be a big bore guy - 300 WM, 325 WSM, had a stint with a 7mm WSM. Of course they all worked, but you paid for it in recoil. Never been recoil shy, but it’s just annoying after shooting a box of bullets.

I went 6.5 PRC a few years ago and have had excellent results on elk and deer. It’s very mild on recoil, especially with a brake, or suppressor.

I’m not a ‘long range’ guy. I can only shoot out to 600 at my range. I do so very comfortably, but I don’t ever see myself shooting an animal that far unless conditions were 100% perfect. Even then, I doubt I’d do it.

Inside of 400, a 6 creed is as deadly as you need. Most will argue 223 or 22 creed is fine. I’m not ready to drop down that low, but that 6 creed is calling my name.

The drover is tempting

I was just checking that thing out too! I mean 20”, threaded, iron sights… the ultimate hunting rifle… and if your bomb proof scope dies during a hunt you are in business with irons… or if you live in Utah and want to hunt the new irons only rifle season…

I need another rifle like Custer needed more Indians right now….

Pretty decent looking adapter compared to some others!

 

[awildswanger]

Super tempting

I’ve got a RSS 223, but this is making me wonder if it wouldn’t hurt to have a matching 6.5 or 308. That being said, have a 6.5 vanguard and ewss 308. My bases are covered, and might need to sell one to pick up a new Tikka. If you had to pick one to sell, which would it be?

Wby is the Raider, Cerakoted and threaded

EWSS is a pure killing stick, great stock, but other than stainless not many bells and whistles.
