[QUOTE="lisasman, post: 1929861, member: 98221"] One of the great things about Tikka is that the tolerances are so exacting that many barrel manufacturers are selling shouldered prefit barrels with out having to send your action in for fitting. Of course you will always have to check head space before using. With that said there are many factory new take off barrels on Ebay in 7mm, 300WM, 270WSM and 300WSM for sale at around $150 and should fit your possibly new magnum faced Tikka as well, repeat you will always want to check head space. Buy your 7mm and then you can add other chamberings very cheaply. Limbsaver AirTech recoil pads are always a must and work wonderfully. Do you need it for the hunt probably not but it's not always about what you need. Best of luck and enjoy. [/QUOTE]
