Closest would be the Ruger Precision Rifle in .223 with Accurate Mags or MDT 10 rounders I do believe.
Tikka makes a 1-8" twist but mags have to be modded.
It really is a shame nobody has done better.
Building schit right has become way easier though. The one I got from you will shoot 75s into knots

Talley rings are best bang for the $
All of them do something better than the 30-06, but none of them do everything as well.

Modified Talley lows from Whittaker Guns. 16bore’s dad use to make them. They’re all I have on my Tikkas.
And happy birthday.

I wanted to follow up with what I purchased. I found a Tikka T3 locally at a good price. I have wanted to try a Tikka and a 223 so this rifle fits both wants. What is the best for mounts and rings for the Tikka? ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/mgDJkrLX/IMG-1704.jpg) Congrats on your rifle and Happy Birthday!

Friend of mine bought a Winchester Ranger Model 70 back about 20 years ago at Walmart...1/12 twist I believe... Now has 40+- whitetails and hogs all one shot flops. Ammo of choice has been the Winchester 64 grain PowerPoint and a few with the Trophy Bonded.
Had two doe run at the shot...one made 30 yards and the other did a little circle and drop...all others just flopped right there. Only bullet recovered was from a 150# 8-point that his wife shot in the shoulder at 150 yards...bullet was recovered under the skin on the opposite side...
I sent him a Remington 600 Mohawk that was rechambered to .223 from .222. He took one deer with it so far with I believe a 63 grain Sierra SMP that I sent him...
His Uncle used to kill all his deer with a .222...no fast twist guns back then.
If I was looking for a lightweight .223 it would be the Remington Model SEVEN stainless synthetic...they do now have a 1/9 twist barrel...
I have one of the Tikkas purchased from Mackay sagebrush...a very fine gun...but is long...you should like yours...

A model seven stainless in 223 would be fun.

My CZ 527 is extremely accurate, can't imagine needing anything more, lightweight and balanced well.

55 grain TSX out of a plain old Stevens 200 1:9 twist worked very well for my daughter for a couple of years in Oklahoma. A buddy used the 63 grain Sierra SMP out of a 1:12 barrel to kill deer down there as well. So I'd buy the rifle you like the best regardless of twist, then find a bullet that'll work for your application.
