20-22” 6.5 Creedmoore

[MaddH]

Recommendations on a 20-22” 6.5 Creedmore with a threaded barrel. I have a couple of 24” but don’t want to mess with barrel work. Prefer a 20” . Don’t want to break the bank either

I think the new version of the Tikka T3X Lite in 6.5 CM is going to have a 22” barrel threaded 5/8-24.

My vote would be for the new Tikka or Ruger American. Own both just not in 6.5 and they’re both lights out shooters

Got a hacksaw, 20, 18, or even 16 if that's what you want. Just make sure to set the drill right when enlarging the front hole. Actually I remember reading that no drill worked just as well.

My Tikka T3X CTR, 20" is a consistent half-MOA rifle (and often better). Touch heavy to be packing up and down sheer cliffs but not bad for all around hunting.

I'd take a Ruger American over a Tikka.

I do like my Tikka 22-250

What i've done and would do again - find the cheapest 6.5 tikka online and have them ship directly to someone to chop/thread, then ship to your FFL. They are new configs out there with shorter/threaded barrels but they usually get a premium over a basic lite model that you can have someone chop/thread for cheap.

Then put it in a Pure Precison stock.
