Tikka M595 barrel length?

[Ruttinbuck]

I have a M595 WT all weather rifle that I am trying to get a barrel length on.I bought the rifle used and according to tikka's website the barrel should be 22 7/16" and OAL should be 42 1/8".
My 7-08 is 39 1/2" OAL and measuring the barrel as near as I can tell it is 20" long{eyeing up the end of the barrel in the breech}.
Anybody else that owns one of these rifles have any input,I think this barrel has been shortened but need input to be sure.It is very accurate with 120gr baltips just curious.RB

The barrel on my old 595 stainless in 308 was 22"s as well........IIrc all the 595's were 22-7/8's as you stated.

I'd agree that at 20"s yours has been shortened.

Close the bolt, stick in a cleaning rod, and measure it. Easy peezy lemon squeezy.
