Just a heads up for anybody looking for one. This is the best price I have seen on them to date, and they still have 3 in stock at time of this post. $819.99 Tikka T3x 6.5 Creed 24" Brl. I bought one and it shipped within two hours.

Yeah they list the SS model for $899 as well but it's out of stock. I bought a 20" a few months ago unaware the 24" was coming and wished I had waited.

I wish i would of waited for the 24'' also. Wonder what speeds the 24'' is getting over the 20''? I am 2650 with Prime 130's.

Why don't they offer the 260 in 24"? I just bought a t3x last week and I'm somewhat wishing I'd of held out for this 24". My main reason for going with the 260 is I ordered a Larue PredatOBR in 260 as well. I'm all for keeping my reloading specific calibers to a minimum.

Well dam i couldn't resist and just ordered a 24''. It doesn't look like a huge gain but about 40'' of drop at 1,000 and some help with the wind. Looks like i will have my 20'' up for sale soon.

Look at what you made me do!
HaHa - I have a 3rd rate scope and mount, so I'll try out a box of the ELD 140's tomorrow off a bag @ 100 yards...... 
Update: Got a chance to put a few rounds down range today. 3 shots at 25 yards to function test and see how my guestimate on mounting a cheap Burris scope in a QD ar-mount worked out. 3 shots well under an inch about 2" out of the bullseye near 7-o'clock. Took it out to 100 yards and adjusted the scope on shots 2 & 3. Shot #3 was on the x. I only had time for 8 more shots. I did a light clean after shots 3 & 8. Looks to be 8 shots in the x ring at .828" off a front/rear bag set up. 
All in all I would say the Tikka likes the Hornady 140gr ELD-M's I fed it? |

Prime ammo speeds. 20'' 2675 avg 24'' 2835 avg so i saw a 160 fps difference. The 20'' has 80 rounds through it, the 24'' has 20 rounds through it so it might speed up some.

I wish I would've waited to pick up this 6.5 24". I may get one eventually but that would be a month or few down the road. No harsh chemicals or strong tips. Bronze or a similar material is my go to. I plan on shooting another box through it (gathering brass) since I replaced the 0 moa base with the 20 moa base. Just deciding/saving for a great scope-rings. |

The base was easy after applying a little heat. The glue residue was a real pain for me. I tried acetone and goof off and it wouldn't touch it. I had to use a dremel and a steel brush.

Uggh. I wish Tikka would get with the program on the scope bases. As it sits, I am using ADM 20MOA SL mounts which is an unnecessary weight and expense.

Is the barrel threaded? It's hard to tell.

Would you guys recommend cleaning the barrel with a bore snake or just stick to patches for the initial cleaning before shooting the rifle?

I like the CTR mags better than the AICS magazines though. But ya, they be expensive!

No they aren't cheap but they allow for a longer COAL and smaller size than a 10rd AICS mag. You don't need 10 for each rifle. 4-6 magazines is plenty for a bolt gun, most could get by with just one or two.
