    Looking for a factory 24” CTR .223. May consider Varmint, Super Varmint, or even Tactical rifles as well. Not currently interested in “builds” or other calibers… just want a straight factory Tikka .223.

    UPDATE: Tikka/Bud’s sent me the 223 Super Varmint with a MAGNUM bolt. I would really like to find another one while they try to sort this BS out so I can tell them to pound sand. HBO!

    Thanks!

    Thanks, I talked to him. Still hoping a factory CTR .223 pops up but may end up going that route.

    Here's a Super Varmint in stock

    You could sell the stock in about 2.8 nanoseconds and replace it with a CTR stock and 10 round magazines. Heck, I'd but the stock off you!

    Rare bird. Don’t see this often. Don’t even need to get it threaded and you get the two stage trigger.

    So long story short, Bud’s/Tikka sent me the 223 Super Varmint with a fucking MAGNUM bolt. Fortunately, I found it before going through with the transfer and now Berretta is involved trying to figure out what the hell happened.

    That being said, I’m not going to be happy if they just offer to replace the bolt with a mismatched 223 bolt (tikkas are serialized to match with receiver), and I’m hoping I can find something else in the meantime. CTR, Varmint, or Tactical 223.

    What an absolute headache.

    That was a good catch. There’s one on GB.

    Any update on getting your bolt swapped?

    Took the refund and bought the one that Pwdrburner had for sale here. Tikka/Bud’s didn’t want to take responsibility for it… they wanted my FFL to send it back to fuckin Finland to get looked at. They wouldn’t send a bolt because numbers wouldn’t have matched and wouldn’t send a new rifle without seeing the one that came with the mag bolt. Wasn’t worth my time so I bailed.
