Tikka T3x muzzle threading

Can a Tikka 300 win mag super lite be threaded 5/8-24 without cutting down the barrel?

No

You would have to thread it 9/16 or 1/2 and, then use an adapter to get it to 5/8.

Yes, with a collar added. This is a 300 wsm threaded 5/8x24 at factory length. There should be plenty of room in front of flutes on a super lite to do this.

Never seen a collar before. Is it just an alternative to an adapter?

ADCO offers a service, I'm not sure who else.

Not an adapter, barrel is threaded extra long and collar is 5/8x24, loctited in place, and trued square to the bore.

Its an alternative way of doing it but doesn't stack tolerances in the threads, the threads on the barrel are 5/8-24. The "adapter" is a threaded on piece that only forms the shoulder at the rear and is locktite/rokset into place and machined perpendicular to the bore.

Any decent Smith should be able to do it. Ultimate Reloader has a video on YouTube that explains it better than I can.
