Any news on whether tikka has plans for PRC's in the future? I like tikkas but they always seem so late to the game when it comes to twist rates, new chamberings, etc!
I may just pull the trigger on a browning when they make one and tikka may have to sit this one out

Good bullets properly placed always work, but not everyone knows what good bullets are, or can reliably place them in the field

I agree very late. Heck they can't even fill orders for the 6.5 PRC.

Not to hi-jack, but to the best of my knowledge, Tikka has yet to come out with a 300PRC. I suspect that this is because of the 300PRC COAL and magazine restriction(s). The 7 PRC should not pose any issues with the Tikka action or magazine length. Proof Research is listing 7 PRC pre-fits for the Tikka, so that would lead me to believe a 7 PRC Tikka is doable, albeit not yet available as a factory listing.
I never thought I'd grow up to be a grumpy old man, but I did, and I'm killin' it.

I agree, I think 7 PRC would be a perfect fit for the Tikka action, and maybe they'll get around to it in 10 or 12 years in the natural course of Tikka innovation... A few years later Beretta might even start importing them.
In the mean time I'm thinking about building one, Carbon six has a reduced price deal going the rest of the year, and their Tikka barrels are shouldered pre-fits.

Can't speak to Carbon Six barrels, but I have 2, Proof pre-fits (shouldered) on Tikka actions. A 6.5CM and 7 SAUM. Tikka pre-fits come close to the definition of 'easy button'.
