Tikka CTR 223's coming back - EuroOptic.com

[Muley Buck]

I was told that an order was made fairly quick due to the large amount of interest he received. So it should be much quicker. I was told possibly by late winter/early spring or before. That may depend on who has what ordered though. Again, just what I was told. We shall see.

I received my CTR few weeks back. Shoots good, barrel is slow as F.

20in yes. Berger factory ammo, 73s and 77s. Running approx 180fps below box speeds stated from 20in. I loaded 24gr H4895 with a 75eldm on top, 2740. I did punch the throat out with a 223 wylde reamer, but that shouldn't do much. Have bout 200rds on it now. Hasn't sped up a bit.

How long are you loading those 75s?
If your not against ball powder Staball match is giving pretty impressive velocity in 5.56

My 223 CTR (5 years old maybe?) barrel was/is slow. Pretty short throat too. Shoots extremely well though.

I’ll be swapping barrels soon (I’m at 2600 + rounds) I’ve had a Proof prefit sitting in the shelf for a good year or more since the factory barrel just kept on shooting.
