Folks,
As I said in my original post, I wanted the punch of the 6.5G with the compactness of the AR15. The Swede is a fine round and one of the best designed cartridges ever produced. But it is a full length cartridge, and requires more space, more brass, more powder.
I just sold my Tikka T3 Sporter, I had high hopes when I bought it. I shot it twice, it was an outstanding example of the rifle makers art. BUT it was heavy, 12-15 pounds. I had big ideas of being a bench shooter, but it never panned out.
My true joy is shooting a light compact rifle from the bench, enjoying a highly accurate cartridge. In addition, when I am in the field, hunting, I want a rifle that is light and compact but with a punch.
I understand the Tikka was designed as a target rifle, but the AR15 in 6.5G wins. I adjusted my FL resizer die, and my WFT is ready. Have parts for 2 uppers in-bound! A2
