Minimum barrel diameter for 5/8-24 TITAN
I'm thinking about getting a .30-06 hunting gun threaded to use with my Titan, I want a lighter profile than a long range or barking gun. I'm looking at a tikka t3 and thinking about having it cut down to 20". Thanks guys, I can't wait to get my paperwork back.

How big is the Tikka? I would think we would like to see a barrel profile that is .750" at a shoulder.dustingaunder wrote:I'm thinking about getting a .30-06 hunting gun threaded to use with my Titan, I want a lighter profile than a long range or barking gun.

Well, what about .700"?

No go... there is just not enough shoulder... What is it at 20"?dustingaunder wrote:At 16" the barrel is 0.677" and tapers to 0.630" at the muzzle (22.5").

Hey Mike, I found an Encore rifle in .308 that is threaded 5/8-24 already. It is .730 at the shoulder. Is that acceptable? If I pick it up, I'll be getting a heavy barrel in 30-06 and selling the standard .308 barrel, but would probably shoot it a few times if is acceptable diameter.
