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

You’ve already ordered one? As in he got some in and one is headed your way? I’m on his list to contact but I hadn’t heard anything on the model I’m waiting for yet.

Yeah I did. I don't think its headed my way yet though. It was a blued lite.

They do exist… Got it faster than I thought I would. Don’t even have dies for it yet.

Yep. Mine just arrived today. I'll have it in hand after the waiting period!!!!!!!!

Why wait for ages,just buy a barrel and throw together what you want.

That’s really the ONLY way to go. Wait forever to get a non-stainless, Non-threaded rifle with a 22.4” barrel which you have to send off and spend hundreds of dollars to get cut, threaded and coated so it’s close to what you want…..

Or, just get a used stainless tikka and rebarrel it white exactly what you want.

Guys must be getting desperate if they are spending money on on stainless tikkas. The blued ones I’ve seen rust if you even think about moisture.

It’s funny that you say that, because I have 2 blued ones that have been thrashed in all conditions, hardly ever cleaned or wiped down in rain, snow, in and out of canoes and kayaks (fresh water though) without a hint of any rust on them.

My good friend has a stainless one that is covered in tiny little rust specks and has been undoubtedly used “nicer”.

Yeah even the stainless ones rust. The blued one I had was all pitted and would get surface rust if I left it sitting for a few weeks.

Not really desperate. I want a classic blued walnut stock 6 Creedmoor. Guys have different tastes. If I was desperate I would've rebarrelled years ago.

And no. My blued Tikka .223 looks great with no rust after multiple years of hunting in Texas, Kansas, and Arizona. I'm not in Alaska.

I’ve already bought one from @EuroOptic he said they are about a month out hopefully; sooner
