[QUOTE="86alaskan, post: 1674800, member: 75933"] why not, the creed case isn't all that much shorter. It would really be up to the smith. I'm pretty sure that '06 should clean out the creed chamber all the way. While you may not be able to seat the 140+gr bullets way out into the neck and still run the mag, you'll definitely gain performance. The creed case is pretty well 49mm where the '06 case is 63mm, so you'll need about 1.5cm in the shank to get the new case reamed correctly. And mags won't be an issue, but you'd need to get a LA bolt stop for the tikka, or you won't be able to pick up rounds from the LA mag. [/QUOTE]
