@tikka love the look of your 300blk Tikka,nice short package, just dont think a 12 inch barrel would do it for me in a .308. I was hoping to be able to shoot .308 subs in this soon to be 16" Tikka but from what I've read you need a much faster twist rate to stabilise .308 subs? (Tikka .308 t3 is 1/11 I think?)

They shoot lead subs fine, might just be better to go middle of the road weight Wise, don't think they will shoot the heavy lehigh bullets
