I’ve just bought a Tikka 6.5 Creedmoor over here in Australia to replace my Blaser 6.5x55 that I sold recently.
I’ll set the Creedmoor up like the NZ one ( minus the suppressor of course , I’ll probably put a muzzle brake on it instead)
so there is no difference in feel and handling.
I bought a Creedmoor because I couldn’t find a 6.5x55 for a good price and the Creedmoor’s are everywhere and ammo is cheaper.


Here’s my NZ baby

It’s a Ken Henderson stock , cost quite a lot but I’m totally happy with it . The quality is outstanding and the alloy bedding block means no bedding is required, just bolt the action in and away you go . I’ve restocked a number of rifles over the years and the bedding has always been a hassle and expense to get right . You pay more for these types of stocks but it’s worth it in the end in my opinion, and it means that you can instantly swap the stock to another Tikka rifle without any modifications which is not possible usually when you have used bedding compound.
Now I’m saving up to by the same stock for my Aussie Tikka .

I,m happy with my one and only shooter being an early model 7 in .260. one of the first ones to hit the shops.
Tried a few different pills etc and found they all worked lol but settled on 120 grain sierra pro hunter,s. They are very accurate out of the short 18in tube. I charged around the place for decades using .222,223,s and can say that my .260 will shoot the pro hunters every bit as good as any of the .22 clan ever did................funny how things change.
