DOH!

I was waiting too but ended up buying a tikka 8 twist 243. I hand load though. Couldn't be happier

Still undecided on whether to rebarrel my 270 superlite with a 18" 6CM PBB, or sell the 270 and put $ toward one of these new 6CM tikka models.

Hoping in a few years that Tikka take-off barrels are as accessible as the 6.5CM ones…that alone breathes new life into the 6CM for me.

I think I will buy as many as I can. Whatever 6 creed I don’t sell, I will use them as donor rifles. The goal is the sell the barrels more easily…

You can put a 6cm prefit in a Tikka long action 270?? If so, I have a Tikka 270 ready to go. Any modifications that need to be done for this?

Yep. You will need a different magazine though.

Swap the barrel, and it’s good to go. Better to use M or M+ mags. You can also change to a shorter bolt stop but it is not necessary.

We will have more 18” 6 creed prefits in a few weeks and more on order.

All Tikka actions are the same length. They have different bolt stops ($5) which control how far back you can pull the bolt. They also have different magazines ($35).

But yes, otherwise they’re interchangeable.

Edit: I should have said they also have separate bolts. But you’re fine with a 270 and 6creed here.

They going to be PBB or another brand? I thought I read you were changing but then I couldn’t remember

 

[5MilesBack]

Sweet. So same bolt and just use my M, M+, and/or 6.5 5rd mags?

I was going to wait until I shot out one of my Tikka 243 barrels to switch them over to my 6cm prefits. But now I can just use the 270 that I'm not really shooting much.

These are PBB, still working on bringing in the other barrels.

I ordered a 6.5 tikka to rebarrel to a 6cm exactly a week before they announced the 6cm. I figured it'd be a while before we saw them available so went through with it. Got it back from the gunsmith right as they are becoming available smh

Lipsey's is a great resource for getting full product line specs on pretty much anything. Below is everything that they are showing for Tikka in 6mm Creedmoor. Only 20" option I see is in the CTR.

If they decide not to import 20" Superlites, Eurooptic or UM could try via Sako Select. I suspect it wouldn't take long to move a pallet of those.

For what it’s worth, the Lipsey’s catalog doesn’t list the 16” .223 stainless that [mention]EuroOptic [/mention] says he can get. Maybe Jake can whistle up some 16” or 20” 6 CMs?

Yep.

Tikkas come in 3 bolt faces, two bolt stop positions and the rest is just mag differences.
