Well if 77TMKs at 2700 FPS are full of unicorns and rainbows, 80 grain ELD Xs at 32-3300 must come with a get out of jail card....lolololol

Generally, an AR isn’t an awesome replacement trainer for a bolt gun. You generally lose some precision. But also, positional shooting typically changes with an AR vs Sporter hunting stock. Recoil reduction is typically different as well. And you lose the bolt manipulation practice.

All good points. However I need to upgrade a lot of stuff this year, pack, rifle, binoculars, rangefinder, ect. ect. ect. So I need to prioritize where I can and shoot the balls off my AR.

Below is a 10 shot group of factory loaded VMax. In terms of precision I can live with that.

Well 2 months of reading on here was all it took. I've got a fluted SS T3X 6.5cm on its way. It's the hunter wood stock model (which I don't hate) but I could have it in a stockys carbon for about the price of an Ember so I think it's a win. Will most likely end up wearing a Trijicon.

YOu guys have some awesome mods. Thinking about upgrading my Tikka stock. Good inspo here.

Going to order first Tikka tonight.

Tikka in hand. Now I just need another $300-$400 to connect the three dots...

If i could absolutely only have 1 rifle for 50 states, all game & it had to be a Tikka, I'd be reeeeally hard pressed not to go with a 1:8 .243
And I love my 6.5 & .223!

Have all 3 and the 243 with 108s at 2916 (best load by far) seems to be the Goldilocks. 1800 fps out to 850 yards at my typical hunting elevation is no slouch. 223 sure is fun to shoot though.

I just got a text from my guy.... My .223 RSS is abbreviated, recrowned, cerakoted, test fired & it'll be in my hands next Friday!

I can't wait to get a load worked up (& get my Rokstock, obvs...)

Been here for a little over 2 months and just got my first Tikka I know it's not an swfa but I had a vortex laying around so that's what it's got till it dies now I just need to get a vertical grip to hold me over until I buy a rokstok

 

[Brucebarker024]

Here’s mine. 6.5 creed chopped to 20 and waiting on a can.

 

[sbaker0029]

well here's a before & after ,

Nice super varmint. Chambered in 223?
You have the barrel cut down?

 

[sierracharlie338]

How do you like that GRS stock. Been seeing a lot of those lately.

 

[cowdisciple]

Have a new T3x compact . 223, stock (until I get a Rokstock for it). Seems to like the Hornady Frontier 75gr pretty well (77gr TMKs are en route). Here's 20 at 109 yards.

 

[Reddish]

If budget is tight, you’ll be glad to have the .223. After 1,000 rounds of .223, you’ve saved enough in cash (vs 1k rounds in 6.5cm) to actually buy an additional rifle in 6.5cm.

I'm going to see if this reasoning will work on my wife...I'll let you know how it goes.

My daughter (9) is wanting to hunt so she has a T3x Lite Compact coming in .223 with a Huron. Oh yeah she's also getting a matching 6.5CM. Ha!

My daughter got a 6.5cm to "grow into later" as well

Thinking about getting mine cut and threaded for a suppressor when I get it Cerakoted.

I've never owned a suppressor, but am curious to try one. Any recommendations for best choices on a RSS? Have barrel cut to 16"?
