Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Ask The Gunwriters Tikka CTR 6.5 CM 20 0r 24" barrel

I have been looking at these.I had decided on the 20" barrel when they threw me a curve ball and came out with a 24" barrel.I wonder if I loose much velocity with the 20" barrel?I really think the magazine sucks .Does anyone know of a shorter one that would fit.I am really not a tacticool guy ,and am just looking for some for longer range shooting.Mostly for Antelope and Prairie Rats.Thanks ahead,Huntz

24". They need to offer it in left hand.

20" without any question. You will never wish you had a longer, heavier, awkward barrel for hunting purposes.

The Creedmoor doesn't lose much velocity per inch anyway.

As of now they are offering the left hand CTR in a 20" 260 Rem.

20" no doubt, especially if you plan on running a suppressor.

I have an older t3 model in 260, and just picked up a new SS t3x in 6.5cm from whittakers. Both 20". Haven't shot the 6.5 yet, hopefully will tomorrow. The 260 shoots great, I expect the creed will also.

I like the new t3x stock. Nice vertical grip with good texture.

Magazines are nice, double stack so even the 10s aren't that long. Mag release doesn't hang below. 2.9"ish coal latitude. I'm fairly sure you can get 5 rounders now also, would be shorter. $115 each, kinda spendy but how many do you need?

I agree with josh, 20" if you're going to run a can or just want a handy rig.

Very good rifle for $1000 IMO
