Anyone tried making a 6br repeater out of a tikka t3?

Thanks

No, but I have a couple T3 6 Dashers.

Any trouble getting it to feed properly? Using factory mags or aics?

Are you using a spacer kit?

I don't see any reason why you couldn't get a Tikka T3 to feed 6BR, if you are setup to use AICS mags.

AICS mags with a spacer kit works great for the 6BR family of cartridges in most actions these days.

Dasher feeds fine from a modified AICS magazine in a chassis for me. I would expect BR to feed well also. You may need to tweak the magazine feed lips.

There are extra short actions and mags being made these days specifically designed for short rounds like 6 BR.

The 595 works great with factory 22/250 magazines

Waters rifleman in Australia makes magazines for 6br/22 250 Tikka T3

Yes, it'll work no problem and the magazines will be your only issue. MDT now makes magazines for the 6BR and variants too: https://mdttac.com/ca_en/mdt-metal-magazines-short-action.html
