Dropped the 6 Creed in CTR wares poached from a gun shop find. Had to swap the bolt stop to accommodate the Mag length, and remove the standard mag retention dohickey… but other than that it’s now 10-rds of giddy-up.

Barrel is a 20” Benchmark Rem. Sporter dupe, so it’s obviously lighter and rides a little skinny in the channel, but idgaf. Note the lack of standard CTR 8-Ball Shifter Knob… though if I can find the right PBR Draft handle, I might rethink the deal.

Zero didn’t move after the stock swap, still have 16 mils left on the 2-12 in SportsMatch rings (no pic rail al la factory CTR). Hammered 105s and 87s on top of each other today, par for the course.

Appropriately twisted factory 20” .22 Creed would be the schitt… I’d be well toward the front of the line.

Nice setup.

I'd definitely jump on a factory CTR in 6mm or 22 creed.

I've got a t3 out visiting Shaen getting a 1 in 7 Bart chambered to 22 creed and screwed on.

You've got me thinking about trying a CTR stock instead of the T3
 

go ahead

I put a t3 223 in a ctr stock. Works great for me. Balance is perfect with the barrel chopped to 18” plus the EVO suppressor.

She was all content looking over my shoulder Now ya done got my tikka begging me to take her outside and shoot 😂

20" 22 BR.
Gotta 22" 6BR 7 twist med Palma waiting on a rainy day.

16" 22GT ordered from straight jacket nearly 7 months ago waiting to show for handy-dandy duties.

16" light SS 223 and 308 Tac A1 in the corner just waiting for the right idea . . . Thinking she might make a nice 7-08.

These Tikka and shouldered prefits have a way of multiplying . . .

Oh btw if you're not counting calories the sterk is where it's at. They've got the angles just right to where bolt lift both feels lighter and doesn't bind.

Yeah you do.....

If I would've kept that thing I would have saved some money!

Glad you are enjoying it!
I sold the one pictured, then bought it back….. your own sloppy seconds are the best kind.

Ridge…. I love the Sigs, they’ve taken a beating in some nasty conditions, and haven’t failed me yet. It’s awful nice to look, range, and have dope spit-out all at once.

Had a pard and his Wife visit and he had a S/S Teeker LW in 264 Kreed with 147's in tow. I handed them my 8" RPM 223 version of same,with 100rds of 75 ELD M Smooches ala AICS Mountain Tac' DBM and told them to only bring brass back. They did a purty good job and nearly walked through it all.

The 2-12x FFP Mil LitBitch was to their liking and I had them pasting shit at 1000yds+ with same. It makes one HATE OEM non-CTR Teeker mags...........

I like the reticle in the 2-12 more and more every time I run it. Funny how a single dot can connect so many dots.

Just threw an MOA 2-12 on a .264/08.

figured if I was gonna slum a .260…. might as well go the whole nine and run MOA too.

I like them both, bought the MOA version because I thought the dot on the Mil version was going to be too big… but it’s perfect.

The MOA reticle is solid too though, and I have no issues running either reticles. The MOA scope has had the living schitt dialed out of it already, it rode a .22lr for a while and never skipped a beat.

Thinking about a CTR in .223. The ergos look good, but I've never messed with a Tikka. How are they throated? How long a round will the mag accomodate?

mag box is plenty groovy for factory throat

2.435 is kissing with a 75gr eld across 3-4 tikka barrels.

the ctr is the ultimate utilitarian rifle. doesn't paste itself into any one niche

probably why mine doesn't get used all that much. swapped out the barrel for both heavier and lighter contours..

OEM unaltered CTR mag,with it's 75 ELD Smooch,as compared to a 10rd AR mag.






The CTR 223 mags are 10rd and roomy,as issued..................

or get out some 80grit and a thinking cap and put cheapass mdt plastic 10rd mags into the ctr.

they aren't the best once they go into real aics bottom metal after the nip and tuck but they are servicable.

OEM CTR mags are great in the .260 version as well. Though, my .260 “CTR” is sitting in a factory T3 Varmint stock (minus that stupid fhuking bolt-on beavertail) running OEM “M+” mags for 2.95” COAL and still running the SA bolt stop.

Sounds like just the ticket for a 7-08 rebarrel too...

3” .260 ain’t a bad place to be, and I’m sitting in a pile of 123, 130, and 140 AM/ELDs.

I do know you can kiss a 7-08/162 and run it in a factory M-Mag.

You boys best meet in the middle and cypher who's talkin' what and about what.(grin)

CTR mags,are miles awayyyyyyyyyyyy from "M's".

My suggestion is to cite CTR confines...then it don't really make a fhuqk,because it's a shitty T3 mag swap and bolt stop swap in all other things Teeker,though them notions are VERY fucking different.................(grin)

Had an unexpected vet bill, so will have to forgo the local .223 CTR opportunity this time. Guess I'll just keep slumming the current wares!

CTR Mag confines: 2.95” and requires LA bolt stop

M-Mag confines: 2.95” and requires MA bolt stop

“miles” must mean “the same” when talking Mag confines?

CTR mags are superior to the OEM mags, for sure. But slummin a 3” OEM mag is certainly better than a 2.8” OEM mag.

I’d be tempted if it were a cow barrel…. no more heavy schitt for me.

2-12 Helos grows on me more every time I run it. Had a ball watching a pretty girl hammer rocks with 105s out past a G, off the SFT yesterday.

Shot this rifle more yesterday, then let a couple pards run a train on her. Funny how shit sells itself…

I’m damn impressed with the 2-12, it’s a nice little piece of glass. I’ve given it no quarter, and even intentionally abused it a little just to see wtf. Its taken it all and gladly asked for more, all while steering bullets flawlessly.

My only complaint, is against my own dumbass, for not shutting the illumination off and killing the battery…. twice.

Funny…. I had a 2-12 (mil) sitting on a 7 Mag barreled action, awaiting a new stock. I robbed it yesterday to replace the same scope (MOA version) on the CTRanny 6.5/08.

It’s nice being a Public Land Owner!

Side note… running the factory rail and low SWFAs, the 2-12 had 17.5 Mils remaining from 100 yd zero.

Weren’t a bad view looking the other way either….

I’ve tried to 6x MQ a coupla times…. and I just can’t do it. Pass the 10x please.

I’ll spring the extra 150 clams for the illumination, and added versatility. Got another 2-12 inbound, they might be my new favorite scope.
