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

[Castle Rock]

They do exist!
I was lucky enough to get two from the first batch to hit the distributor.View attachment 1076037View attachment 1076038View attachment 1076039

Which magazine did it come with, M or M+

They came with an M+ mag.

It measures just under 46" with an OG6S!

These two are for sale by the way. I just need to negotiate RS approval and shipping tomorrow.

Would be sweet if these showed up in Canada. Would save me from buying a 6.5 and barrel swapping.

My SS 6 Creed Tikka just arrived at the local gun store. Just got to get down there to get the paperwork started and wait for it to get out of jail(CA Problems).

Curious if the CTR/ace game are actually coming in at 20"? Anyone seen one yet?

For those of you interested in keeping the rifle at factory 22.4", here a comparison of the diameter taper on the new 6 CM Tikka factory barrel versus a factory lite cut at 20" with a shoulder added. It's very subtle.

Any idea what the barrel length would be where the front taper part hits 0.675"?

If my math is right, a 5/8" thread needs 0.625" plus a 0.050" shoulder, or 0.675", and it needs that diameter about 5/8" behind the muzzle.

So it would be nice to know what length that factory double-taper barrel could be cut to and still thread 5/8x24 with a 0.050" shoulder. And that length would be its 0.675" point, plus 5/8 of an inch for the threaded section in front of the .675" point.

IIRC that's like 18"ish on my tikka 6.5cm with the 20" barrel. Maybe it was 17.3"ish. It's been a few days since I measured and I didn't write it down and my calipers aren't in the same room with the rifle right now.

I'll measure.
I'm planning to take 4" off mine.

Keep in mind, these are caliper measurements while "eyeballing" a tape measure on a kitchen table. They won't be perfect, but they should be close. (JRTXE32422MT)
