Pretty safe to say I'll be buying a 24in 260rem at the end of the year

That's the best looking rifle in that platform I've seen. Any idea on msrp and a release date.

[Bigiron]

That's a nice looking rig

[Chargerguy]

Oooh, this may change things. I'm in the market for a new .260.

[Duramaximos]

What''s the value in running the picatinny rail all the way to the front of the forestock?
I hate that it forces you to use extra tall rings for the objective lens to clear the rail.

Other than that, I agree, it's the least ugly choice in this style.

[fishduck]

Thats a nice rig.

Anyone want to take a guess at what $$$ it will go for?

[TLSpeed]

It will be north of $2000. Probably $2400- $2600 would be my guess!

[nimrod]

Looks great, but at over 10 pounds, not my hunting rifle

I think it will be lower than that. (could be wrong) I say this because its main competitor will be the ruger precision rifle. That rifle is under $2000.00 so this one will likely be as well.

After seeing this i did some research and if any of the random internet info i found means anything it will be around $1800 us.

I have been looking at doing a custom action build but this might change that. I have a Tikka 308 CTR and it is a wonderful. I have always wanted a 6mm BR or some kind of 6.5 mm If Lapua is truely going to make Creemore brass then this settles my dilema.

Your probably right, that would make it over $2000 canadian pesos, but street price and msrp can often very. I hope that would bring it under 2K

[HuntinGuy]

I've been in the market for a tactical 260 but I just can't bring myself to buy one in a platform like that. I am disappointed

If (probably when) i get this rifle my chambering choice was made easier!

Lapua's 6.5 Creedmoor is here!

We are happy to announce the addition of the 6.5 Creedmoor case to the Lapua line! Despite a relatively short time on the marketplace, the 6.5 Creedmoor has made a tremendous splash in the field, rapidly becoming one of the most requested cases we hear about from shooters.
Lapua's 6.5 Creedmoor is designed to function in a short action, which is also a plus for hunters, vitally concerned with the rifle’s weight and compactness. In fact, many of the same features which make for a successful competition cartridge, translate nicely to the hunting fields as well.
For most species of mid-size game such as deer or boar, the Creedmoor will prove to be a deadly performer. And while the selection of high grade Match bullets in the 6.5 bore size is tremendous, there’s no shortage of exceptionally good hunting bullets either. The 6.5's as a group have always been known as excellent performers on game.

Made with Lapua’s typical dedication to precision, our new 6.5 Creedmoor case has been refined just a bit, to make it an even better performer. We’ve opted for the small rifle primer, which normally produces an optimized ignition and better accuracy than large primers in mid-sized cartridges like the Creedmoor.
We’ve also incorporated our smaller diameter flash hole (1.5mm, rather than the industry standard 2.0mm), which has proven to provide enhanced accuracy, and is used in a number of our other accuracy oriented cases. In this respect, the new 6.5 Creedmoor joins the ranks of our other dedicated accuracy cartridges such as the .220 Russian (6mm PPC), the 6mm BR Norma, the 6.5x47 Lapua and the .308 Win. Palma cases.
And naturally, the new 6.5 Creedmoor will be made with our well known Passion for Precision. Strictest control over the metallurgy, the forming and drawing processes, precise annealing all performed under the watchful eyes of our production experts. For you, the handloader, that means the durability for which our cases are famous, combined with consistency and long life. Already proven in competition, we predict that the 6.5 Creedmoor will be a force to be reckoned with for many years to come.
The 6.5 Creedmoor case by Lapua will be available in Q1 2017

I'm just basing that off of the T3x tacticals being over $2000 already. I've seen them anywhere from $2100-2300. I'm assuming the chassis gun would be more money. Again...all assumptions at this point

[markg]

Ya who knows? It all speculation on my part as well. I really hope they keep it under $2K
I just bought a Tikka T3x CTR but i think it was around $1300.00 if my memory is correct.

[Chargerguy]

I'd be surprised if it was cheaper than the T3x Sporter

[Trochu]

Thats better looking than the Ruger?

I don't know about that.....it's definitley better than that Savage Stealth they made that is so hard to look at

[700-223]

Probably same mags as the rest of the Tikka Tactical line? Interesting that the 308 is 16" and labeled as le/mil only on the spec sheet...
