Rare Tikka 595 with Select Wood on Auction Arms
Most of the Tikka 595s that made it to the States came with a synthetic stock or rather ordinary wood stock. Right now, on Auction Arms, there’s a very clean Tikka 595 with a really nice stock in highly-figured walnut with contrasting forearm tip. Chambered in 22-250, it’s a very handsome rifle, and the 595 action is slick and strong. We’re hoping one of our regular readers snags this gem. Current bid price is $625.00. Forum member Fireball tells us the Tikka 595 22-250 magazines will also feed 6BR and 22BR cartridges well if you plan to re-barrel this rifle and chamber a different cartridge. We’d just shoot it “as is”, at least until the barrel wore out.

The 22/250 595 model magazines seem to feed all of the 6BR cases wildcats well.
I have function tested .20, 22, 6mm , 6.5mm and 30 BR all in the 22/250 595 magazine.
they all worked great.
My 595 6 BR is my go-to rifle these days and the 30BR will be coming online ASAP
still waiting on my .20 cal barrel for that build to begin.

I have been reading this website daily for about 3 months now and I have purchaced the above rifle based on the recommendations therein. I have not taken possession of it yet however all the research I have done on this model suggests good value for the money. I was suprized there was only one other bid.
Sweet rifle. Please keep up the posts on this blog!
Thom 503; that’s only because it would be damn near impossible for me to get it to Australia!
Good on you for buying it, I hope it lives up to its reputation and photos.
Cheers,

The rifle is in great shape and the stock (furniture) is beautiful. It is at the gunsmith now to get rebarrelled to 6BR. I should have it by Thanksgiving. He too said it was worth more than what I paid for it.
International transfer of firearms are always problemmatic.
Good luck with it, Thom503; if I could have grabbed it the rebarrel would have been 20bR with a fast twist.
Ah, well it was not to be.
Cheers,
