7mm-08 suppressed?

[RemMan700]

I recently picked up a Howa Mini 20" heavy barrel in 6 ARC and really like it. Crazy light recoil and you can reload hotter for bolt guns in 6 ARC. If you are looking at the Tikkas you may want to hold off for a bit. The new 2025 Tikkas are all supposed to be threaded.

Good info. I am certainly in no hurry. When does Tikka release new years' guns?

I have haven't seen any updates or any changes on their website yet. The new rifles are supposed to be 5/8x24 threaded which makes me think the t3x lite model is going to get a heavier barrel than the current model.

It'd have to. The 300wsm I bought this past year I had to do 1/2x28 and get a good bushing. Which sucks cause I would've waited and bought a factory threaded one if I'd known they were coming out this year. I'll attest to their accuracy out of the box though. They're really good rifles for the money.

Smart someone just posted a Tikka superlite 7-08 in the classifieds and it's already threaded

Thank you....I know Yelladog (he's posted in this thread early)and we have spoken about it before he posted. I'm looking for something a little more compact. Than you for the heads up though.

From what I’ve heard the muzzle will be flared at the end to ~.750” to accommodate 5/8”-24 threads.

Jason, I've been shooting a 7mm-08 suppressed Tikka for years. I've got a 7mm-08 CTR with a 20" threaded barrel and it's my go to gun.

Are you shooting hand loads or factory ? Which bullet?
I like my 16.5” barrel with a suppressor. So handy and light.

thanks

Both. I’ve gotten very good accuracy out of Hornady Eldx 150’s box ammo. Of course get very good out of handloads Burger 140s

I have a Dakota and Bergara in 7-08. Both have 22" barrels and I shoot the Bergara suppressed. Both shoot sub 1/2" groups and aren't finicky. I shoot 120 Barnes in the Dakota and 140 Fusions in the Bergara. If I could only have one rifle it would be a hard choice between the 7-08 and the 280AI.

I finally got my new rifle set up and was able to shoot it some. After testing several manufacturers and loads, i've settled on Federal Power-Shok 150 Gr, Jacketed soft point. Same deal, for hogs and coyotes to about 300 yards. I'm not a good shooter. In the hands of a skilled shooter, i'm sure the gun will stack these bullet holes one on top of the other. I'm taking it to a 'shooter' in a few days for final check out. I love it.

A suppressed 20” 7mm-08 is the cats meow. All you for 500 and less for just about anything in North America. Not a speed demon but fun to shoot and accurate
