Does Tikka make a .44_" (6ARC / 6.5 Grendel) boltface?

Or, think there is enough material to open up a 223 Rem boltface for a 6 ARC build?

Tikka bolts are all the same OD. a 223 can be opened to a .5 magnum.
You’ll be fine having it custom cut.

Thx. Any recommendations on who does it?

There is a thread about this in gunsmithing. At this point, any competent gunsmith can do it.
LRI seems to be popular.

Thx.

I wanted to try this on a Kimber or Forbes 20B action, but they are hard to find.

I'm trying to keep it compact and light.

Does this yield consistently good results, or is it still a hit and miss affair?

A repost from elsewhere.

One of my Tikka T3x Lites, can't remember if it was in 6.5mm Creedmoor or .308 Winchester, with one of my older SWFA SS scopes, might have been a fixed 6x or a 10x.

Single - feeding, as hearing the brass scrape against those tin can magazines is like scratching chalk the wrong way on the board for me (those of you who actually know what this is about, I think there's a proper word for it).
