I have a Tikka T3X Tac A1 chambered in 6.5 Creedmoor. The rifle was re-barreled 5 months ago and now it has 6.5CM Krieger 24" 1:8 Twist varmint barrel. I already sent about 1,000 rounds through this barrel and need to plan to re-barrel it in few months. This time I would like to install 308 Win 20" barrel. Since I shoot a lot this rifle, I just need a caliber that barrel can last much longer than 6.5CM and the obvious choice for me is 308Win. I know that Tikka T3X models use the same bolt (number 12 if I recall) for 6.5CM and 308 Win, so I was wondering if my Tac A1 could be re-barreled to 308Win without any modification?
