Thread: Tikka barrel '8

Thank you all, that explains a lot
I would use it as a 'varmint' load mainly for shooting hares, rabbits and goats.
At the moment I am using a tikka with a 1:12 twist, but the barrel is too short for my liking and I was thinking of replacing the barrel in the near future with a 1:8 barrel, but would still like to use my favourite load which is the Sierra 55grain HP.
Which comes to another topic,-
How much would it roughly cost to get a barrel swapped/changed by a gunsmith?
I do have the spare barrel, it just needs to be swapped and threaded for a suppressor.
