6MM Creedmoor Build

[remington jim]

Just received my new IBI SS Medium Hunter Fluted barrel for a 6MM Creedmoor. Now what action to build it on ? I have a Rem M7 and a Rem M700 and OR a Tikka T3 - Got to be one of these 3 - I already have Other customs on the Rem Actions but not one on a Tikka Yet . Opinion's ? RJ

Why go with the unknown?
Rem 700 for the win aka continuity.

The 700 will give you more options when choosing a stock if that's a part of this project.

That bbl would be great on the T3 in 243 with the longer magazine.

Brass and loading kit would be easier to find as well. Just sayin'.

Why build on a long action tikka for a short action cartridge?
The 6 cm chamber already allows for seating longer bullets.

Try a Defiance AnTi action and sell some of that factory junk.......you'll never use that $hit again once you do.......hahahaha

The M700 and M7 have the same mag box lenght BUT the M7 has a 1/4+ BIGGER Ejection port then a M700 with EVEN thou its 1/2 " shorter in Lenght ! RJ

ALL TIKKA's are the same lenght - ONLY the mags are different lenght and bolt stops ! RJ

NOT a 243 win Guy ! Fugly Cartridge - I have lots 6mm CM brass and Redding DLX die set ! I'm GOOD with the 6 CM Cartridge ! RJ

We are a funny lot, us shooters. Both the 243 and 6CM are pretty much neck & neck in performance, but one is fugly.

I'd say the 243 was ahead of it's time and has done pretty well over the years.

I was thinking of doing the same thing on a T3 action. I have a 22-250, and was going to get a prefit??? From the same place? I heard the T3 actions do not need to be trued?

It’s not a matter of being trued rather if new prefit barrels will screw on properly to allow correct headspace. You will know when you pull the trigger for the first time.
