How much did you shorten that bottom stock?

250 spine arrow epoxied in for reinforcement in the grip. The grip was hollowed out, filled with foam, and reshaped.

I don't have a current photo of my slightly sexier Swede, but here's the ought-six WKR spesh to tide you over.

When you get the chance, let's see that sexy Swede. I've been a fan of the OG 6.5 for a long time. Got introduced at a young age by my grandpa and a 1916 Swedish Mauser. Kick myself for not jumping on deal on a T3 swede years ago

Not quite sure they fall into the "absolute" rokslide special but since they are tikkas, they're special.

6.5 PRC superlite, 3 x 18 trijicon, sportsmatch rings, salmon river solution arca rail.

223 CTR, 3 x 9 swfa, xtreme hard-core rings.

Both fine examples since they are correct-handed.

Loving the lefties! The magazine on the 6.5 PRC isn't the 4 round they seem to normally come with could you share a few more details on that?

Would you be willing to share the story on how you came to own a LH 6.5PRC SL? I've been waiting for Tikka to offer that exact model!

Standard magazine in the prc and the standard 10 round in the ctr.

Get yourself a 6.5 creedmoor in a superlite, send it to Shaen Magan or your choice of gunsmith, rechamber to the prc, enlarge the bolt face, install a long boltstop and use a magnum magazine.
Viola.

Feeds and works flawlessly.

For everyone chopping and threading barrels for suppressors, seems like 16"-18" is the typical cutback length. What thread pitch are y'all able to get that far back on the barrel? Particularly on a 6.5 CM.

 

[ResearchinStuff]

1/2 x 28 is readily doable, sometimes you see 9/16 too. Both frequently require a simple thread adapter up to the typical 5/8 x 24 that many cans have.

I was under the impression that the chubbier prc rounds did not feed well out of the LA magazines. Can you confirm that that you're using the standard LA magazine and have no issues cycling PRC rounds? Can you fit three in the mag?

It's not technically but it is a tikka 6.5 and it does have a swfa and sportsmatch rings so close haha. A damn sexy swede.
