ISO 6.5 PRC lightweight rifle, Sako, Tikka, threaded

[Ridgereaper]

ISO tikka t3x with a threaded barrel or a Sako S20, or another lightweight rifle in 6.5 PRC. Send what you have! Thank you!

You’d be very happy with the Sako or tikka. The new ultralight comes threaded as well which is so nice if you shoot suppressed.

Yeah I was thinking about the new tikka ultralight. Was hoping to get one used before buying new 😂

[matt]

Yeah, the gen2 are probably too new to find used. If I was looking for a new rifle, that’s what I would be buying.

I bought this exact deal when it was $599 a couple months ago.  Had it cut to 20".  I never tried any factory ammo but it's ridiculously accurate with a handload that took almost no effort to develop.   Still a great deal at $649

I did the same but cut it to 18".  The barrel is super slow and not much faster than a creedmoor but it is stupid accurate for a pencil barreled factory rifle.

What speed did you get from the factory loads? And what are you planning to get with your handloads? My tikka’s have always been 100fps slower than anything else in the same caliber.
