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

[EuroOptic]

Eeehhhhh heeeemmmmm @EuroOptic …… Jake, please get your website updated, assuming you have some of these coming in. You’d probably get employee of the month should you have them available

Working on it..
We had some price list & rifle description errors from beretta that slowed the role..

I’m hoping they are live on the site tomorrow and ready for preorders-for now I have to punch in every order manually.
If you are interested, shoot me a message with your full name, email address, phone number, and billing address - I’ll send you a quote.

If you have already messaged me, you are on my list - I will punch orders and quotes in chronologically by who messaged me first

So the t3x lite SS is really a 22” and not a 20”?

correct, it’s 22”

 

[Styer22]

correct, it’s 22”

Thanks for the info. Was hoping for a 20” but kinda figured the end of the model number insured it was gonna be a 22”.

What’s your predictions on how these new 6cm will shoot the heavier bullets compared to the aftermarket barrels.

Give us the run down on the different twist in the shorter barrel.
What works better and what load.
Or is it minor enough either way.

For the faster twist preferred barrels, difference is minor, but some guys want to run the heaviest bullets at lower DA. In the short barrel, with less velocity the faster twist makes up for lost RPM.

Most won’t notice any difference.

My experience is about 11 barrels, 5 of which are Tikka factory barrels. Tikka factory barrels have been more accurate and less fussy on the whole. If given the choice I’d pick them over aftermarket every time.

I have noticed no real difference in accuracy but I have noticed that my Tikka factory barrels are all 75 - 100 FPS slower than other barrels. Perhaps just bad luck, but I don’t think so. I’m pretty convinced Tikka factory barrels are slow, and hence why I’m not rushing out to buy a new factory 6CM

I’ve heard that a lot.Im leaning towards a preferred barrel but it’s tempting to just pick one of these first.

Accuracy difference isn’t game-changing, it’s slight but there. Fussiness is very different, many times I’ve been 200+ rounds into an aftermarket barrel before I find a load.

The only direct comparison I have for velocity is four Tikka 6.5CM barrels against two Aero barrels, they all track right where I’d expect with the same load. Two inches longer makes 55fps-65fps faster.

Maybe they are slow, I don’t know. But if so I’ll take the hit bc 60 rounds in I’m done and off the bench.

Not arguing, just posting up info for anyone interested. I don’t want them in high demand anyway, more for me!
