Oh yeah, my bad. Could get a thread adapter I guess.

Tikka T3X and get it threaded.

Looking to have it all ready to go out of the box.

I think that might be a really good choice. Waiting to see when those will be available.

Pretty sure you can order one off gun broker most people that sell firearms charge 25 bucks to get one in for you off it

Bergara Ridge. It's 7.7 lbs, but otherwise it meets your specs.

I have been looking at the Bergara. Also the CVA Cascade, that has the Bergara barrel. Right now, it is at the top of the list.

Ruger has not released it yet.

1903 Springfield or 1895 Winchester. Can't think of any other viable rifles out there...

I’d wait for it but that’s just me I don’t buy a lot of rifles so I’d wait and get what I wanted

I love the 03 Springfield, but not exactly what I am shopping for. 1895 is so far from my price range I can't even think about that.

Bergara Sierra Wilderness is at the top of the list right now based on recommendations.

Retail is 1099 and it comes with the 5/8-24. I’ve handled these at the gun store and they were nice. I’ve owned a begera and ended up selling it. It shot good but just didn’t feel good in my hands in the field. I kept thinking about it and not the hunt.

This is why I will never own a Tikka. Picked one up the year they came out and was not impressed. Has stuck with me ever since. mtmuley

This is my Springfield. It's killed a ton of animals over the last sixty years and a lot better made than most new rifles. My other rifle is a 404 Jeffery built on a 98 Mauser of same vintage. Very classy guns. I wouldn't have a push feed action in my safe if someone gave it to me.

The Tikka is well worth the effort. Just order one and have it sent direct to @p_ham, he'll thread it perfectly, and he can send it to your FFL ready to go out of the box.
