    Get One, I did it's awesome! Started out as a Tikka wsm, now it sits in a Boyd's Thumbhole stock with clamp on brake.
    Easy as to shoot.

    Cool, any trouble with mag length or is that maybe an advantage with the Tikka in wsm, having only the one mag length maybe it can be loaded out.
    wonder how long the throat is.

    Mag length rounds can still shoot well. Have managed a half inch group...... once :-)

    Buy a normal magnum mag? A Tikka is only once removed from Lego so that shit should just snap together...

    A Remington short action will go to around 3.1inches milled out

    Dont waste your time chasing every last fps, it doesnt matter in the real world, it wont make a difference, all it will do is cause head aches and frustrations. And dont listen to silly old cunts

    In all honesty, with my experience with this caliber I call bullshit, I've herd of 20in barrels doing 2700 with 208s, but 18in doing 2800 is hard to believe
