Picked mine up Wednesday, going to silencer central for a cut and thread to 17”, will report back with how that goes.

That Hunter's rail, short, bolts right up to the Tikka with the existing stock screws, easy. I used that combo with the Tricer bipod last week on our cow hunt. I have UM Low Tikka rings for a 42mm NF scope and there's plenty of room for the NF so assume it'll be fine for the 42mm Trijicon.
edit: I didn't realize there was another page and replied to some old posts, oh well.

Thanks! That's everything I ordered. Low Tikka rings and when I selected 'Tikka' for the Hunter's Rail, short was the only option. Appreciate you confirming it'll all be fine.

Keep us posted, I plan to cut mine and am thinking between 18-20 inches. would love to know what kind of speeds you get at 17" on the tikka.

Me too! I just checked out Silencer Central too. Having mine cut to 22", re-crowned and threaded. $235- with shipping.

Any idea on a lead time from them? I'll reach out Monday if nobody has a guesstimate

It may be a while, I’ve got a Rokstok and a maven coming and I don’t usually start messing with new stuff until after the holidays. I will update on turnaround time from silencer central when I get it sent out. Paid on Wednesday night I think, they send a box to ship it to them I think and I’ll post when I send it their way.

Shot mine this morning with 147 eldm match factory and it didn’t seem to like it much 2” groups. Ran to town grabbed a box of precision hunter 143 eldx. Came home cleaned it and it had copper really bad so cleaned it crazy good. Went back out and tried the 143.

Shot 1 was fouling shot at the low bull. Shot 2 was at that bull it’s next to. Shot 3 was at the bull it’s next to then put 4 in the group in the bull.
Very happy with that, speed seems low at 2884 but hoping it’ll speed up some after a couple more boxes. If the wind will cooperate I’m going to try and shoot out to 4-500 tomorrow morning.

Nice shooting out of the gate. Around 2900 doesn’t seem to bad for a 143, hopefully it gains a little speed after 50-60 shots

That’s good to know. I haven’t messed with anything 6.5 so I went into this completely blind spur of the moment purchase so if it’s about where it’s supposed to be then I’m happy lol.
