We sold well over 100 before June 1st. Orders still come in every day. Local guys have been buying them too.
I have multiple deals in the works. The deal on the table with Barrett will please a bunch of guys on here. I have a conference call on Tuesday to finalize some details. I may start a thread this weekend asking for some input on the Barrett special run.
I'm also looking forward to the next project with Tikka. It'll be next year though. I'm still bending Ruger's ear too.
When manufacturers see successful projects like this ione it opens a bunch of eyes. Sometimes out of the box ideas change mindsets. As others have said, thank you for putting this together. As a leftie, it's not common to find someone who's willing to go the extra mile for customers and I really appreciate your efforts. I agree with OSU, Thank you Darrik for your efforts. I'll be glad when the lefties ship!

I picked my Rifle up this morning... Thank You bye the way..
The guy at the FFL seemed a little unhappy about the transfer instead of a purchase. He got on his computer and looked up a tikka 22-250 then asked me what I paid for it. I showed him my receipt and he said... [bleep].. I cant touch that price... Then I showed him the case, spare Mag and told him it was a 1:8 twist.. He congratulated me and told me I "Did Good"...
My Rail, Rings and Scirroccos should arrive later today. We need to start posting pics of some rifles as they get set-up...
Thank You again..
Dan

Mine is in route, should be here Thursday. Also ordered a VX3i 4.5x14, and a set of Talley lows on the grand opening promo. If I'm lucky they will be here by Friday.

If it wasn't for the internet I would have never learned how much it stunk at killing deer

Just saw "the label was created" email with tracking number arrived at 1:39 Central.
Hoping I get to fondle it before I go on vacation for a week.
Quite excited this rascal will soon be shipped.
Thanks again, Darrik and Eric!

I like the new design changes in this new Tikka.
First order of business was to tweak the trigger pull and test it.
6 out of 6 times it came out very consistent at just a hair under 2.5 lbs.
Crisp too.
Nice pull, but with a 22 caliber rifle like this I prefer something just under 2 lbs.
It'll work though.

I got a box of 62 grain sciroccos and am going to load them for mine when I get a chance. Anybody shoot these in their 22-250s before?

Just got mine. 80 grain ELDs are next. My Shilen/Mohawk 8 twist .22-250 prefers 80 gr. VLD's. I need to get some 80 gr. ELD's to try. I've heard the ELD is a tougher bullet than the VLD. Would like more info on that regarding performance on game. DF edited to add, it also does pretty will with 75 SSII.

The magazine for this Tikka is 2.80. ......That is a good thing.
This Tikka has a short throat. ..... That is not a good thing for longer 22 cal. bullets.
I checked out a few different bullets with a modified case to seat bullets into the throat.
Nosler 70 gr. RDF @ 2.55
Swift 75 gr. @ 2.51
Horn 73 ELD @ 2.56
You have to seat the Swift and Horn well into the case taking up some powder space. You can't seat them out.
The Nosler seats nicely, the base of this bullet at the bottom of the neck and that is the bullet I am going to focus on for this rifle.
I have no interest in shooting 55 grain bullets in this rifle, that is not why I bought a 1/8 twist.
Before I would pre-order or buy a Tikka in 6.5 CM I would want to know how the longer VLD's will fit its throat.
