Will Tikka come out with a 6 CM soon???

[N2TRKYS]

Guessing you're gonna have to wait another decade on a tikka 6gt

As long as it don’t have a flared out end on the barrel, it’ll be good.

 

[N2TRKYS]

You can always cut one down and add a shoulder nut like before.

6mm GT has not even been CIP approved at this point. 6mm Creedmoor was approved 7 years ago.

Naw. I’ll wait for a barrel with a regular end on it.

Put an OTB suppressor on it and it’s gone!

I don’t want the stupid looking bell on the end of the barrel.

It's not as drastic as you think. Look at the pictures on that

Take it you've never seen one from the factory? To my eye they don't "bell" them, they just stop the taper earlier and leave more meat on the end. Nothing like what was being done previously with skinny barrels and a large belled end nor when the factory light barrels were threaded 1/2-28 and then had an adapter added to make them 5/8-24.

Go find one in a store and make your decision from there.

Maybe confusion between the new threaded Lites and Gen 2 Superlites, which appear to have a bit more muzzle flare. Either one is fine by me.

Yeah, I wouldn’t like that at all if they were like that or worse.

Don’t care for a suppressor, either.

I guess I will, but if there’s a change in diameter towards the end of the barrel, I won’t like it.

It is flared but not egregiously so. This is the 20” 5/8-24 1:8 .243 Win. I sold the barrel or I’d get exact measurements

Was @EuroOptic arrested for false imprisonment. Haven’t heard anything since he threatened to lock his catalog team in until we could order these.

 

[HighUintas]

Fo those that just want to get one in 18”, I have a few 7 and 7.5 twist right now, and another order of a few 18” coming. I’ll order a few more in 16” soon.

Referring to Tikka 6cm or pbb prefits?

When my site is live with them.. I need you guys to show us the market shifting power of RokSlide!

I'd really like to, but rokslide has already bled me dry for the next year or so. Thanks for working for us though! I won't be getting one soon, but I appreciate your efforts

PVA prefit for a tikka action is where you should look. Barrel swap in your garage and shoot small groups.
