I just do not understand the clamp on crap on a precision rifle, or well, anything

patience (or lack of) is often why we take short cuts. that and not knowing better.

OP, I’ll get you measurements in a day or two. A little hectic right now. PM me if I don’t post it here in the next 72 hrs. Honestly, do a threaded, then you can move it to your next barrel. Are you close to AR barrels?

not too bad of a drive, I'm in Anaheim. Threading the barrel sounds like a better plan now, been looking for a gunsmith anyhow.

If you may rebarrel it right away if it's not good enough for you anyway, shoot with it first before you do anything.

Sure, by " shortly after" I mean a good 100-150 rounds. I should have a good idea on when I will or won't.

Reportedly, they work very well.

looks like he's raised his prices substantial. Nice looking breaks though. I've thought about threading the barrel, just not for sure on how much material is there to do it. Also I may re-barrel shortly after I get the rifle, depending on its performance. It's a Sporter barrel after all. Clamp on, seems like the best investment for my circumstances at the moment imo.

If it's anything like my Tikka there is way too little material to thread it for the common threadings. Maybe you can get some weird non-standard thread or a slick setup where a shoulder is attached to the end of the barrel, but it won't be cheap.

I have 1/2" threaded brakes on my Tikka lite hunting guns..

Marc at Spartan rifles along with many other smiths are the same $ as any other barrel.

Go to harbor freight by digital calipers and use. It is not rocket science under 20 bucks.

I drive from Phoenix to Van Nuys to have Randall build my guns. At least you can do make the trip in one day.

150 rounds in a 6.5CM isn't going to beat you up.

Get the rifle and see how it shoots before you thread it to maybe throw it away in 150 rounds, especially if you're spending this much time and effort to save 18 bucks on the brake that's on sale. Just shoot it. It could save you a lot more than 18 bucks.

Companies making such products cater to the customers who are averse to doing the job the right way the first time.
There is much opportunity to sell those folks a product at about 3/4 to 7/8 the price of what it costs to have done it right the first time.

Those customers almost always seem to lack the patience/money to do it right the first time, but then somehow seem to be able to do it right the 2nd time when the easier/cheaper method eventually fails.

true, been mulling over just leaving it be like you suggested. It'll help me on recoil management fundamentals at the same time. I've probably been spoiled with my other rifles. I'm hoping following my shots in won't be too much of a pain in the ***. I'm sure a good bi-pod preload will help.

hmm, Kinda what I was afraid of.

I have threaded dozens of Tikka T3 Lite barrels.
If the diameter is between 0.540" and 0.600", I would go with 1/2-28 threads.
If the muzzle diameter is between 0.600 and 0.660", I recommend 9/16-24 threads.
If the muzzle diameter is between 0.660" and 0.800", I recommend 5/8-24 threads.
If the muzzle is over 0.800", 3/4x24 threads can be used.
