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

[atmat]

Just got to the range with a tikka 6CM. I bought it for my daughter’s first deer rifle. I put a 3-9 SWFA on it. Try and keep it simple, light & compact for her. Put a vertical grip, butt pad and cheek pad/riser on it.

These were shots 4-8 down the barrel after getting a close enough bore sight and zero.

105 Berger’s and N555. This will be excellent.

It won’t single feed a bullet, but it feeds out of the magazine like butter. I definitely don’t like that you have to load the gun with the safety off. My only complaint.

Do her a favor and take that break off. Hated those things as a kid.

I’ll see what she thinks. Tikka stocks suck for recoil management. She will never be shooting without ear pro. With the right brake, muzzle blast to shooter from a 6CM is negligible IMO.

Haha my apologies, I included the group pic now.

The are the warne ultralight low tikka rings

Looks good! Forgive my ignorance... are you shooting the 105 VLD hunting, VLD target, hybrid target?....

Killed some stuff with the 105s? Also are they a m+ mag. I modified my M mags and found out by accident if the follower sits up higher (by product of follower moving back) tikkas single feed mint atleast in 223, 6.5 creed and 243).

They’re the 105 hybrids

Haven’t killed anything with the 105’s specifically, but lots with Berger’s. At the ranges I would let her shoot, I trust them.

Im honestly not sure on the mags, but I’ll look into that. Thank you!

I will try take a picture when I can to show what I mean better.

if anyone was wondering, the 6creed factory barrel came off pretty easily with the buffalo creek tools and a solid bench. seemed way easier than the other tikkas weve removed.

Should be, according to measurements in this thread. If not I'll either add a shoulder or thread it 1/2-28 and use an adapter.

Definitely would like to hear your findings on this. I’ve got one on backorder from EuroOptic and want to chop to 16-18” and thread first thing. 5/8x24 would be preferred so please let us know!

I do still find the fact you guys seem to have standardized muzzle threads interesting. It is very handy where your cans are more expensive and more restricted but we just thread them whatever size is most appropriate for the barrel.

I win. Hahaha. I may be one of the first consumers with one in hand, I would imagine.

This came from lipseys. They must have literally gotten one of their first couple in stock when my dealer threw it in his cart and pressed send knowing I wanted it, it showed up 2 days later.

I’m really excited, I’ve wanted one for ages but didn’t want to spend the money to have a barrel chambered or buy a prefit. The 22.4” barrel is absolutely going to have to go though. I’m chopping it to 16” ASAP.

How did this go? Were you able to thread it 5/8x24?
