The Proof Research Prefit PXT barrel for the Tikka T3x in 6.5 Creedmoor (brand part no. 152591) is a ready-to-install barrel that upgrades a Tikka T3 or T3X rifle. Proof Research built it with its PXT Exponential Twist rifling, which reduces the initial engagement angle of the bullet, lowering pressure spikes and throat wear. The 22-inch barrel has a Sendero contour and a 5/8-24 muzzle thread, and it torques on, so you headspace with proper gauges and head to the range. It is an upgrade for the precision or hunting shooter who wants a fresh 6.5 Creedmoor barrel.
