There's not much that a Tikka CTR won't do. Pick your caliber, barrel length, and finish. They all shoot, they're not too heavy for hunting or too light for range use.
no threaded barrel. dealbreaker for me

CTR is threaded
For those of you that like the EH1, what do you like about it better than the T2? I’m trying to make my choice between the two. I appreciate the input...thx.
That's my experience as well. I had a T2 before the EH1. I think the narrower fore end is better for positional/offhand shooting. The grip feels a little different to me, maybe like it's a touch narrower but both are very similar for prone shooting on bipod/platform/bags etc...

I've been reading here a bit more lately. I'm still enjoying my 308s and 30-06.
I see the focus now seems to be on 6mm, 6.5mm, and big 375s.
I suppose I've become an 'old timer' of sorts, as I don't have any interest in re-rigging every couple years to keep up.
Exactly my thoughts. If your talking 6.5 out of a 20" barrel my son's 260rem effective range is 1000 yards with a 142gr ABLR which requires 1300fps to do its job. This is quite low compared to other bullets the new ELD are 1800fps which would be @600 yards.Lots of options for most of your criteria, the real question is how far are you shooting at game and the size of said game. Lots of PRS rifles and calibers will put a mark on steel with great repeatability. Hunting is a whole different story.
How much does that setup weigh?Almost completed the do it all rifle for my shooting needs. Just needs a 7mm barrel swap to account for some deer shooting legalities in one of the states here.

McMillan M40A1 stock, BDL, M40 contour barrel, 18” threaded, 7mm-08. Just waiting on my pre ordered Big Horn Origin action to show up. Had a similar set up years ago in a Remington. Figured it was time to do it up right. The 168 Berger classic hunters make 1,000 shots a joke. If it’s half the rifle the Remington was I’ll be a happy camper.
