Thread: Tikka 6.5x55 se

Just brought a new tikka 6.5x55 about to send it away to get suppressed . Going to send it up north to HARDY engineering.
Any idea before I send which model suppressor to choose and length to trim of barrel or left factory length?

I have a DPT over barrel, cut my swede to 20" and don't miss much speed - I get 2740 fps from 143gr ELD-X

I'm shooting 120 gr noslers bench mark 2 what kind of load are you using for the bigger 143gr

You have one of the best gunsmith in the country in Wakefield. Why send it away?

There is only two suppressors I will never buy again, Hardy and Rev Rog......(SubSilentSupprssors) If you get a good Hardys then its fine, but if anything ever goes wrong their service leaves a LOT to be desired. DPT and Gunworks both do a decent suppressor with great service and I will use either again when I am noext on the market for a suppressor. Likewise Maniatis (Not sure of his brand name) also makes them here in chch.

Send it to dpt or gunworks both give great service forget hardy

Depends what you're after... obviously the DPT is very popular on this forum. Darren does excellent work and stands by his product.

There are others that offer excellent service like Scotty at SSRNZ, the Tiffens @ Gunworks, Stuart at Greystone Guns and the crew at MAE.

DPT would be the lightest if you're going to carry it.

Whats the intended use? I've just gone with Stuart for a Varmint rig so don't mind the weight.

There's been big changes at hardy's as I have heard of 4 separate people that have as the old saying goes "we will put it right"
Happen for them.
Their stealth on a 6.5 55 is out standing as i now have heard three and shot a couple as well.
Great recoil reduction as well.
There is a reason that they topped the rod and rifle test and that's because they do work.
My two cents any way!

I've been as low as 18.5 on my tikka 6.5x55 there is a good thread on here that I started. Give the search button a whirl.
