Tikka varmint rebarrel

[Tazzy]

Has anyone rebarreled a Tikka action with a varmint contour barrel, if so what contour did you use?
Dimensions A,B, C and such. The barrel will be 24"

I did mine with a 26” benchmark #5. No issues.

I have rebarreled three T3's.

#6 Benchmark in 6 Dasher 26"

#5 Benchmark in 6 Dasher 26"

#3 Benchmark in 280ai 23"

They all shoot very good <1/2 moa with the Dashers, the 280ai is still in load development but has printed 1 moa 5 shot groups at 100m

He makes great barrels and does great work. He's built 2 for me, one a 25/06 on a mauser action with a 1/9 twist 27" and a 7mm/08 on a Browning BBR action 1/8.5 twist 26" The 06 shoots in the 4's and the 08 I just started load dev and am at 1/2 moa already.

Just sent my jury barreled tikka action back to get set back after 15k rounds. 223rem 30" zero taper 1.25" shank .217 bore. Put a bore scope through it after 3 unexplained fliers out of 10 shots and found 2-3 inches of rifling stripped out. This is the 3rd tikka action I've had done.

Just have to turn the shank down or remove the radius from the action.

Just a thought, but why not just buy a 1:8" 223 T3 and have the AI treatment done to that?
