Thread: What do you think of this rifle in .308?

well I am happy with my tikka bushy . Factory barrel with carbon stock , cut back to 16" , with supressor and vx5 on board around 3.5 kg ish .
Worth noting that a carbon barrel isn't neccesarily lighter than the factory option in the lite contour either . If you are simply looking at the carbon barrel for weight savings I don't think you will find it actually saves much - if any - over the factory offering . The real advantage to carbon barrels is weight saving over a HEAVY barrel and more repeatability when shooting strings and the barrel starts to heat up .
Not worth the extra $$ if just chasing weight reduction ....
I built my tikka with everything done , inc titanium bolt handle , supressor and barrel chop , top rail , along with carbon stock for around or slightly less than the carbon tikka that started this thread . That said I did not flute the bolt (less gaps for the bush to find it's way in to the action I reckon - in theory) That includes a spare 5 round mag .
If you want a short barreled tikka just build one @MB .
