I think I’m going to pick up a Tikka and I like the OD green models after looking around. I’m leaning to the 308 Win because I don’t have one but does anyone know if it’s a 22” barrel or 24” barrel? They’re list as both

Thanks

I doubt many are out there in circulation. I find it interesting that the stainless superlite is 22.5 inches long and the chrome moly green/black is 24".

My non-magnum Tikkas have 22 7/16” barrels.

My T3x SS SL in 6.5 CM is 24”

True. Mine is 24.3". Pharm did say the ones he has. Maybe he hasn't bought into the 6.5cm hype yet. Give him time... As for the one the OP is asking about, I had one in my hands a month ago and it was 22" . Had it been something other than 308win, I probably would have bought it..

I’m torn, I want a 308 to try the 155 Scenar, I want a 708 because I really like the 708 and I would gladly snag a Creedmoor but I’m not crazy about the 24” barrel.


Decisions, decisions


The 308 having a 22” barrel makes sense because the stainless is 22”.

The longer CM barrel on the Superlites can be chopped off maybe 2" inches. The flutes stop well short of the muzzle so it could be done pretty easy.

In saying that, if you don't already have a 7mm08, it is a great compromise between the CM and 308. If you are like pharm, you can have one or 3 in every chambrering. Ha ha.. Speaking of 7mm08, this is how mine shoots second time out:


I'll work up a good load for it soon...

I have one great shooting 708 but having a 2nd one isn’t a bad idea.



Great shooting.

The OD green Superlite .308 Win has a 22" barrel.....Hb

Thanks

I really like the look of that. I’d like to have a .308 or 7-08 with a 20 inch barrel, but that is probably only offered a compact model.

You will never be sorry you bought a Superlite or regular t3X in 308.
