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

If I do that, it would be with a Model Seven that I already have.

Then you need to do that gawd awful, fugly barrel nut, or pay a gunsmith to fit a new barrel onto your action. Tikka's are plug and play.

It would be nice if Tikka would offer a normal barrel from the factory in their lite stainless. Even if I did want to pay a gunsmith to do the work, it would be cheaper than buying a Tikka and fixing it.

22 is perfect. Satisfies the "don't neuter your rifle with a short barrel" crowd and satisfies the "anything longer than 16 inches is dumb" crowd. Last barrel I had cut and threaded was $100, not a big deal..

I swear you could give away money on here and people would whine...

Sure, makes perfect sense to buy something, then spend more money and wait longer to make it what they could have done from the factory. Perfectly logical.

Tell me reading comprehension isn't an ability you possess without telling me..
Spend the $100 and get it cut to the length you want, I never said you had to keep it at 22 inches...

Be as snarky as you want, but there's zero reason to have to spend more money, and wait longer to get something that could be done right from the factory. Tikka doesn't give a shit about the US market demands. If they did, they would have sold actions and bolts like the customers wanted. They don't listen, and when they do, it takes 7 years for them to act.

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

You're going to be buying a prefit then most likely

They don’t do anything fast that’s for damn sure.
Reality is even if they made an 18 inch barrel people (rokslide) would bitch that it wasn’t 16inch. Which would be about the only market for it. Even if they did make an 18 inch barrel, I prefer 3B contour while most everyone else here that is all of a sudden obsessed with cutting ounces off the rifle is going to want a feather light fluted.

And technically, they do sell actions. There’s just a barrel, stock and trigger group attached. Taking that into account it is still the best value in the industry. No 700 action is even close and there isn’t going to be a clone action that is even close if it comes in at $1200 and you still have to add a trigger group, bottom metal, and a mag or two.

Nah, I’d rather not have one, if I have to rebarrel.
