The T3x superlite has the 24.3 inch barrel and while it can get some pretty impressive velocities for the Creedmoor, I'd actually prefer your 20 incher! I have another 20 inch Tikka in 6.5 that shoots the 140 class bullets at a very decent speed.Yeah this is the rifle I considered getting a 2” longer barrel on. It’s looking like with some better hand loads I should be able to up the velocities and keep the factory barrel (which I’d prefer).

It's funny that Sako puts some lengths on the Sako models, some on the T3x lites, some on the superlites, but very little overlap with one common barrel length on various models between the 2 brands.
That's the clean-cut twin to my 7.7 lb 6.5CM T3x in a Southfort Labs stock with a Nightforce in Hawkins hybrid rings!! Good looking rifle. View attachment 156727
Is that the rifle you threatened to rebarrel?
