Woodlander Posted August 1, 2019 Report Share Posted August 1, 2019 Will Tikka,or indeed any other manufacturer of fine rifles,bring out a factory chambered 6mmbr,which has to be one of the finest chamberings ever? I would sell all my other rifles to get a TikTac in 6br. I’m still waiting for a shot out .308 or 6.5cm to come up for sale, but I don’t expect that will ever happen. I can’t be the only one wanting this. What would be the next best thing, at a reasonable price? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ds1 Posted August 1, 2019 Report Share Posted August 1, 2019 Blaser do/did the LRS2 in 6mmbr Norma . You would have to check on barrel twist, if it suits the bullet weight you want to use. Not sure if the updated Tac2 was offered in 6mmbr. Also it seems like Blaser off-loaded this rifle to Sig Sauer .....who may have ditched it too.....I can’t find it on either website now.

One on top of two Posted August 1, 2019 Report Share Posted August 1, 2019 Tikka and sako as a rule only tend to do hunting calibre's , unless it’s really worth there while , and the UK does not fall into that category , that’s not to say they won’t do it in there custom shop , but unless you REALLY do have more money than sense .....walk away now 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TC Posted August 1, 2019 Report Share Posted August 1, 2019 Sako 75 III , rebarrel in 6BR, factory 6PPC magazine, sorted 👍 Well that’s what I did so I have a bias 😉 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

terryh Posted August 2, 2019 Report Share Posted August 2, 2019 Shultz & Larsen offer a factory 6BR barrel with 1:8 for their rifles. I have one in 6.5x47 ans it is very accurate 'for a sporting rifle' T Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terryh Posted August 2, 2019 Report Share Posted August 2, 2019 ............ but if I was going to drop a new barrel onto and existing rifle i'd go Norma 6mm Dasher Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GT3_richy Posted August 2, 2019 Report Share Posted August 2, 2019 A couple of well-reputed gunsmiths suggested the Norma Dasher brass wasn't all that to me, and that forming Lapua BR was still the preferred option. No idea what the truth of it is/how much of a trade off Norma brass is..if it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terryh Posted August 3, 2019 Report Share Posted August 3, 2019 Had heard similar but think having the right reamer might help? You hear stories both ways. I’d go with the Norma Dasher, worst case (no pun 😉) would be to set back and re-chamber, best case no fire forming and a long neck. We’ll see?

baldie Posted August 3, 2019 Report Share Posted August 3, 2019 The problem is the rim thickness Terry....it's all over the place, to the point, that half of it, won't go under an extractor. It was not the "holy Grail" that it was trumpeted to be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

terryh Posted August 3, 2019 Report Share Posted August 3, 2019 Dave, Knew the rims/web were different (requiring a unique shell holder) but not that they varied - I'll grab some brass off of Gary and have a look. If any doubt then back to a standard BR as most my shooting is up to 600 these days. T Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Gun Pimp Posted August 3, 2019 Report Share Posted August 3, 2019 I've run a few Dashers over the years including using Norma Dasher brass. I did use the Norma spec. reamer for the Norma brass bit after one firing I don't think it'd make a difference - it's just that three reamers are offered to suit whatever Berger bullet you wish to use. Yes, the rim is different (you need the shell-holder) and apparently some rifles do have an extraction issue. My Dashers are built on a BAT and a Stiller action and both extract fine. Using the Norma brass does save an awful lot of messing with fire-forming (not to mention bullets, powder and barrel-life) and performance-wise, I've seen no difference. The rifles are used at 600 and 1000 yard benchrest competition. If you want a Norma case to try I'm happy to send you one so you can see if it extracts OK - PM me on targetshooteronline@icloud.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terryh Posted August 3, 2019 Report Share Posted August 3, 2019 Cheers Vince for offer. I'd be getting and action and brass (and shell holders!) via Gary so would assume they'd either work or end up working. As you say, not having to FF etc. has significant attraction for me. Current bullet of choice would be the Berger 105 hybrid and I'm looking a 4166 as a starting point re powder - but up for advice? CCI 450's I believe are also a favourite - which helps as I use them in my 47 Apologies to OP for high jacking the thread a bit? T Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
