Finished my 22 arc tikka rifle today cant wait to test it out this weekend... picked the chassis off someone on here. Nightforce on top and ready to rip some 88gr arcs...
Dmr rifles in las vegasNice, I just built one too. Curious who did your bolt and barrel…
Its one of the funnest calibers i have... insane speed 3300-3400 with a 75gr and the recoil of a 223 bolt gunHow's it shoot?
Barrel length for these speeds? It'd be nice if someone came out with some good high quality brass for these. Likely more an AR cartridge where a lot of people just let the brass fly, but it'd be nice to have an option!Its one of the funnest calibers i have... insane speed 3300-3400 with a 75gr and the recoil of a 223 bolt gun
So i converted 6.5 grendel brass to "22arc" and its starline and seems to be working great... whats crazy is its only a 16 inch barrel.. 6.5 grendel and 22arc brass are almost exactly the same...Barrel length for these speeds?

30.5gr cfe223Nice rifle. How much powder are you burning?
You're getting 3300 with a 75gr from a 16"? That's impressive.30.5gr cfe223
Yeah its a little animal for sureYou're getting 3300 with a 75gr from a 16"? That's impressive.
Yeah its does pretty good, and the recoil is a beautiful thing lol.. its alot of fun lolThat's almost as fast as my 18" 22 creed, ridiculous!
6 arc mdt magzwhat magazine are you using to feed reliably in the Tikka?
So i have triedWho’s 75?
Hunting round or plinking round?
No issues at all.. what barrel is on you 6 cm what bullet you using? My 6 creedmoor is over 3100fps and good to goLooking at building a 22ARC bolt gun. Are you guys pushing those high MV's seeing any issue with bullets deforming or coming apart? I have a 1/7" twist 6mm Creedmoor that is ripping bullets apart if I go above 2950fps. I'm worried that the cartridge is more designed for AR platforms and MVs.
It's a custom barrel by a local manufacturer. I wanted to run DTACs so got the 1/7 twist, but couldn't get them so ended up with the 108gr ELDM.No issues at all.. what barrel is on you 6 cm what bullet you using? My 6 creedmoor is over 3100fps and good to go
Use a 219 bore 5 or 6 groove pipe, stay away from 218 bore anything for a 22 build. Especially if you want speed.Looking at building a 22ARC bolt gun.

Im so happy i used a tikka for this platform, its such a good rifle3300 with 75’s…..phew!
I’m only running 3150 with 75’s in my 24” .22BR with LVR, but, admittedly, I’m not leaning on them. They just shoot soooooo freakin’ good there.
I NEED a good .223 bolt gun. I MIGHT .223 AI, but the .22 ARC just keeps beckoning.
A so-chambered Howa Mini would seal the deal……
Guys have been opening up 223 bolt faces for grendel case on the tikkas. I opened up 65cm bolt to magnum dimensions on a Tikka and it's works perfectly.Where did you get a properly sized bolt head?
Exactly a late and some time opened it up and its flawless nowWhere did you get a properly sized bolt head?
