Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles 22 Creed is ready to go

As always, Karl did amazing work and turned a 8 twist 22-250 tikka into my new 22 creed. Rechambered and cut and threaded the barrel 5/8'x24 at 19". He added in a seamless shoulder and also a thread cap until the suppressor gets out of jail. Suppressor is 6" long so will finish up around 25" barrel length.

The arken 4-16x44 is on it for now as I go through some load workup, but bit the bullet, and have on backorder a S&B 3-12X42 with Turret - the 4.8mil turret will get me out to 6-700 yards. I do think I will try to find a rail that doesn't set so high and lower rings. That will go on it permanently whenever it arrives. Got a bunch of 80 grain ELDx and H4350. Hoping to safely land in the 31-3200 FPS range. Rifle is going to be with me to chase deer and antelope in fall and maybe an elk - we will see, still talking myself into that...
