Factory Tikka offerings in 6.5 PRC

[gamewarden]

Hoping these are able to get across the pond soon! These seem like a great hunting option...especially when paired with one of the new Manners Tikka stock.

I prefer the oversized bolt handle, fluted bolt, and threaded barrel options. Cerakote is nice too.

Darn good hunting rifle but if you want to build something for competition I recommend a custom rig. Just my humble opinion

Nope...just hunting.

Great option for the PRC, especially if they have the longer bolt stop and magazines in. My friend's Superlite in 6.5 creedmoor shoots very well bone stock.

They are using a proprietary mag extended down like the 5 rounders and using a spacer block to limit the length.
No info on the bolt stop.
If you reload and want to stretch the coal's you might be buying some Mag length magazines.
I've been using them for 2 years now no probs.

300 WM magazine with 6.5PRC

How long is the internal on the oem prc mag? They're quite silly to limit it to 2.95 or so.

I saved those pics of the PRC mag from another group and they didn't post one with a factory round loaded.
He said he measured the internal and got 3.05

That's longer than every 65prc accept a seekins havak ph1/2 or Christensen bdl setup. At least Tikka did that right. Now they just need start doing 24.3" 243 and 6creed with 8 or 7.5tw barrels.

That's what Proof is for! Granted a bit of a PITA to make it happen...

Anyone know when the plain jane lite model will come out. I don’t care pay extra for a paint job and the same stock that will be replaced right away.

 

[gamewarden]

Has fluted bolt and barrel, threaded barrel and oversized bolt handle too...just sayin'

That is true. The threaded barrel would be nice. I have the plastic oversized handle off my ctr not much of selling point. The fluted barrel is also a nice touch. I guess you have me convinced just to buy one. Lol thanks!

Anyone have one of these yet, I would like to know hands on, shooting thoughts and experiences?
