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

[thinhorn_AK]

correct, it’s 22”

That sucks. Why can’t these squares get it together and start selling rifles with threaded 16-18” barrels???

At this point, I’m just over getting any more new guns until I can buy something usable without having to spend 300 bucks to get sent off for cutting and threading.

I fully understand that my abstinence from buying makes absolutely no difference but it would be great to see some tikka rifles I actually want, not project guns that I need to mail off to get worked on.

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!

200 seems like a lot to find a decent load.
That’s burning a 1/8 of the barrel life.
I would prefer not to loose any velocity as my barrel will be 16 anyway.

Pest control shooting Roos off a wheat crop, it was used when the nights were too windy for the 222, or on the bigger paddocks.
