To the OP title, depends on your definition of soon. , 2 + years later and nope.

Yeah Tikka gives no F's about consumer demand and desires. Look how long it took for 10tw in 30cal and 8tw in 223/243?

...and yet there are still quite a few makers who have yet to get there.

Given Tikka barrels are cold hammer forged, different twist rates require new mandrels.

If they also hammer forge the chamber, than new chamberings also require entirely new mandrels.

So, I'm willing to bet tooling costs make it more expensive for Tikka to make changes than it is for many manufacturers. They already don't appear to be keeping up with demand, so I cannot blame them for being slow to invest in changes.

But they already have a .243” 1:8 twist barrels?

At this point wait for shot show but an 8 twist 243 can do everything a 6CM can do and more if you handload. If you don’t handload then you are semi-SOL.
