How long did it take them to come out with 6.5cm? Such a bummer sako tikka so slow to respond, they miss a lot of sales. No one watching the market to get ahead? Or just wait for all the bitching then finally come around? Weird business model.

Did anyone ask them if they would chamber xs length actions for the Grendel/Arc family?

A 90 peak in those x39 case cartridges please. I figured I may be off to my next life before that ever happened so bought a standard short action cartridge to have the rifle I wanted for as long as I could.

And you guys think swfa and rokstok are long wait times? Sako...’hold my lonkero’
Tikka will never make a mini action. They only make 1 action now.

From what Jake said, the batch of stainless lefty 223s will be 20” threaded, not 22”. He’s said this two different times now. Wonder if that means they be shortening some of the 22” barrel down to 20”.

sako/tikka meant as the same company(sako), and very slow to react to market, like a fackin tortoise

their XS action length in sako line, they've done ppc and 7.62x39 before, .223 etc., true to scale actions with best bottom metal/mag in the business...not interested in the short fats from the tikka platform, just the sako 90 platform, worthy cartridges of higher end firearms, but agree...sako (company) will never make a mini action off x39 case in a reasonable timeframe, they may get around to it after I move on but they have made them before and likely to do at least the .223 again, I sure hope they understand the arc/grendel game now and tool up the 90's on the XS action length, sako 90 peaks in 22 arc, 6 arc, 6.5g would be pretty one stop shop, the 6.5g would be my unlimited barrel life 'trainer' to my 308, could set it up identical...is that too much to ask? haha
