Tikka T3x 30-06 - what 6 or 6.5 ?

[Boltgun]

Cut to 18” and suppress. It makes the 30-06 into a mild shooting rifle.

What suppressor is that? I’ve done a ton of research since yesterday. I didn’t know I could get one that covered most of my rifles. I’m looking at the Scythe Ti. Curious if cutting that barrel down that far hurt velocity’s much?
Nice Eland? By the way

I was in a similar boat. I hunt out West and went with a 6.5 prc. I would prioritize getting a suppressor. It really helps with recoil and general shooting enjoyment.

I would use the back Friday barrel sales to help decide on a new 6CM barrel or a takeoff 6.5CM barrel plus the chop and thread.

If a 22” barrel 30-06 shoots a 150gr at 2925fps, an 18” barrel is likely to do 2800-2850fps. No big deal there. As the 7mm PRC shooters say, an easy correction in the elevation turret! Lol
