Using a long action for a short round?
I have a chance to pick up a new Tikka at a good price but it’s a long action and I want to build a 6br anyone know if it will feed ok from the magazine or will I have feed issues?
Also anyone have any experience with the Tikka actions? Thanks Greg

You will have feed issues --best as a single shot

G,
I didn't know if you were still around these parts. I agree, I'd glue a single shot follower in. That said, you might be able to block the magazine, and if necessary also install a bolt stop. How did your Vartarg turn out? Drop me a line and let me know what's been going on. Mike

Tikkas having single stack rather than staggered magazines tend to be forgiving, but there's only one way to find out. Have it built, worse case scenario is you'll have a nice single shot rifle!

I had a 6BR barrel screwed into a long Savage action awhile back, it didn't feed worth beans, but I had ALL kinds of room in the action to stick my fingers. A ScoreHi single shot follower made it easier to use.
I can't, for the life of me, think of any action that feeds the 6BR case very well. It just doesn't want to work that way..

Here's a film presented to me by Mr. Wenzle of a Rem 700 feeding a 20BR;
