I’m pretty sure what i think I really want isn’t available in a factory rifle, which is a 22” stainless with 5/8x24 threaded muzzle.

So, I could get a Tikka Lite Veil for around $1200 and live with the extra 2”, or get a stainless Lite and fit it with the barrel I want later on down the road.

Another issue I’ve seen with the Tikka’s is the limited magazine length, so if I want to load up longer rounds like a 212g ELDX I’ll need to upgrade the bottom metal and magazines.
