You’re right. That Tikka looks great!
They’ve got to be about perfect builders for the 6.5x55 case. Magazines and everything are tailor made for pretty optimal length. Great stuff. That looks like a screaming set up!
It’s kinda funny, I have a 270 Win Superlite I don’t do beans with. A 6.5 barrel screwed onto it would be most useful. You got the gears grinding.
Tikka 5 round mags were only $60 direct from Beretta, with a 3.1" coal using 140 gr Berger Hybrids and Hornady 143 gr ELD-X bullets at 3100 fps, there is still enough room and bullet meplats don't get battered and deformed .... can shoot all 5 rounds without concern of bc change & accuracy issues from tips getting progressively bashed after every shot
Here's the chamber dims I drew up in Quick Design, reamer reflects same numbers ....
