Tikka roughtech

[Jaydoo]

Anyone have personal experience with the roughtech 270 20” barrel. Never owned a rifle with a barrel shorter than 22”. Curious about accuracy and how much FPS you lost with the 2” shorter barrel

Figure 40-60 FPS loss. Accuracy will be unaffected, possibly better

Great choice. No issues with barrel being shorter.

Curious how the accuracy could possibly be better?

Just theory, but the logic is sound. Shorter is stiffer so barrel is less “whippy”.
Doubt 22” to 20” would be very discernible.

That makes sense, it’s does have a heavier contour barrel, weighs more than my 308 tikka lite but a very well balanced and comfortable gun.
