Tikka .243 build off action

400 on in for now

Then just shoot the 90g class in your current barrel until it goes out.

My 16.5” prefit from Stocky’s is great.

Can you post a link to this? All I see are proof prefits on their website and none are 16.5”

It took a while to get back on that one haha.
I’m joking. This is just a project for me, so I’ll look for something down the road. I’ve got swfas on my two main rifles now.

Doh. I was emailing Stocky’s when responding to that message. I meant my PBB barrel. I updated my comment — sorry!

You can do pretty much anything on a Tikka provided it wasn't something like a 6mm STW. Any 3.340" or under cartridge would work. On a regular .472 bolt face you could even do a fast twist .240 Weatherby Mag which would be sweet as anything, already has a long throat as Weatherby cartridges do for the long bois (just need to be diligent around load development). All you would need is a "long action" magazine and bolt stop.

That said, 6mm Creedmoor is the easy button if you want to shoot factory ammo with heavy-for-caliber bullets. That one would be a straight rebarrel. If you already reload, the new 1:8-twist .243 T3X rifles look like a sweet option. A few others have settled on 1:8 for the .243, Remington being one of them. Hope this catches on.
