Never had one, so can't say.
I got a bit excited! I would be pretty damn tempted by a SA Tikka SL in 223 though!

I'll approach Kimber again too.
I was in talks with Tikka about a run of 8" twist 243's last year. It was serious enough that they told me about the T3x that was coming way before anything was leaked.
There may be some opportunities there as well. Before they could the 6 Creed, they'd need everything approved with their version of SAAMI over there. I'll ask if that's done first. I would buy two!

I'm just guessing, but I bet 'working' with Remington ain't an easy task. I'd bet big money. Big Green tends to think they know more about what gun customers want than gun customers. At least they did finally twist the 260 correctly...only after the likes of Tikka got it right the first time.

I'm betting Kimber will put out a 6creed and twist it right like they have in the 6.5creed. I wouldn't be suprised if the 6.5creed was their top selling Montana this year. SAS what Montana did you move the most of this year?

308's...
The 6.5 Creedmoor may have topped the list, but inventory was slow to materialize.
The Hunter was a different story. 6.5 was King.

FYI...
I asked Kimber for an exclusive run of 100 6 Creedmoor's and 100 22-250's. Both twisted 1 in 8".
I asked Tikka for an exclusive run of 500 rifles. 6.5 Creedmoor's, 6 Creedmoor's and 22-250's -- all twisted appropriately.
We'll see what happens? I'll meet with them all soon at SHOT.

Darrik, please put on the waiting list for a 22-250!

I'm in for a faux Remington TI in 6 Creedmoor, 22" barrel twisted 1-8" or 1-7.7".
That would be pretty sweet.
Thanks, Tom

When the factories introduce a 22 Creed next year (seems likely) will the 22-250 be able to be reamed out to fit?
IOW, it would seem like they won't want to offer a special run of 22-250 at all if they figure to offer a 22 Creed sometime soon.
