I think your biggest issue will be finding a gunsmith who will do the work. A lot won't touch tikka barrels.

Yes I've heard barrel life isn't flash compared to the creed or 260. It's a hunting rig at the end of the day and 1500 rounds for me is still a ton of hunting.

Yeah I know gun works won't touch t3s it's hard on the rheemers apparently. I have a Smith who can do it though. Cheers.
