Tikkas with factory threaded barrels?

Those look great. What chamberings and lengths?

223 and 6.5 man bun. Both are 20.5 since I did not want him to get into the fluting.

It looks like they're keeping the 22 and 24" length for the lite threaded models. Which means they're worthless. Still have to cut and thread them.
The only shorter threaded barrels are in the roughtech line which means you have to pay ~$500 extra to get it done properly. Cheaper to buy whatever is cheapest and get it chopped and threaded. Or even just throw the whole barrel away and get exactly what you want.

That is unfortunate. I am just getting into the suppressor scene, so I have no experience toting one around. I ordered a threaded 24 inch 25-06 I am planning to put a 6-inch suppressor on. I know it is going to be a flag pole, but I am hoping the folding stock will make it manageable on the pack. My next project was putting together a 20 inch 223 with a suppressor. I wonder how much many people would notice the extra two inches.

My Tikkas I posted the picture of are now 20.5 inches long and it was roughly $160 for the chop, thread, bushing and shipping.

If the threaded Tikka 223 is 22 inches I think I will try it out first. If the length ends up bothering me, I can always chop it later. Have fun with your new gun, I am excited to get one put together!

I'm not interested in 22" or 24" threaded barrels either. I'm counting on shorter barrel models being introduced. The 16" 223s that have been added recently seem to indicate an awareness of demand for shorter barrels. It looked like there were some new 20" SKUs on the MGW site as well. In the meanwhile I'll continue to have mine cut and threaded.
