Sending it off this week for chop and thread.


Nice, I love Creedmoors and Tikkas, so these are really tempting to me. I'd do the same thing if I got one, what length barrel are you going with, and can you thread the Tikka barrels 5/8x24 at a reasonable length? My 6.5 Montana has a 22" barrel and I'm pretty sure I'm going to chop to 20" and thread. I know a guy with a Howa Alpine (20") 6.5, and he's been hell on the muleys and antelope this year. With RL17, he is kicking out 140gr SGKs at well above 2,700 fps.

On a related note, I got the email from Whittaker's this weekend advertising the lowest price around on 6.5 CM T3xs, but when I click on the link, it goes to a "page not found" dead end. Are they all gone or is that just a broken link.
