Tikka roughtech ranch?

Damn dude, that looks GOOD. Perfectly balanced... I may have to buy a .223.
Thanks man! It's a sweet little set up. I installed a vertical grip and mountain tactical bottom metal since I took the pic. Groups seemed to open up a hair but it could have just been me. Factory eldm 73 grain did about 3/8th inch before the bottom metal switch.

Got the .308 out today to sight in. Typical Tikka shooting 168 Gold Medal Match in to 3 holes touching.

I will say that the black stock the rifle ships with is notably more textured than other Roughtech rifles I have handled. Like close to grip tape textured. I dropped it in to another Roughtech stock I had picked up for a potential project.

Must resist buying the .223.

I'm halfway thinking of pouncing on the 16" 308 for an Indiana deer rifle, instead of sending my 7mm08 in to get it chopped and threaded. It's the easy button for a short light suppressed tree stand rifle...
 
For those of you with this model in 350 Legend, how’s it feed and shoot? I like my Tikkas and I’m Looking at this one for Whitetails on my OH lease. (Suppressed, of course!)

Got the new rifle to the range to run some hunting rounds through it to see what it liked. Shot a 3 round group at 100 yds with Gold Medal Match 168s at the end just to see what it would do. This is why I keep buying Tikkas.

Virtual encyclopedia of information here on the Rokslide. So appreciate everyone's experience.

Has anyone seen this version of the Roughtech Ranch - .223 but with the 20" barrel?

That would be my dream Tikka.

Thanks for any assistance!!
 
Great info. Confirmed my next rifle purchase. Looks like the tikka roughtech 16” .308’s are backordered at Eurooptic. Anyone know where I could pick one up?
 
Hope Tikka offers these in 6mm ARC and Creedmoor soon. I settled for a Roughtech in .308 with the 24” barrel a couple years ago before these were available.

Factory 6 ARC is unlikely. It requires a bolt face Tikka doesn't currently offer.
 
Anybody comment on the accuracy of the 223 with the 16" barrel

Shots 31-40 on my new 223/16”, with Norma golden target 69 grain ammo ( I mislabeled the target). I suspect it will get better as the barrel gets more rounds through it. I also need to lighten up the trigger pull, it was about 5 lbs from the factory. Will try some Lapua 69 grain ammo and some Fiocchi 50 grain VMax ammo next time as well.
