If your LE or current/retired military, maybe ask a couple of the companies mentioned, I know several that really take care of first responders and military.

So it is a long action then?

I have been extremely pleased with the three Carbon six barrels I have installed.
If I'm not mistaking, all tikka actions are same length? Just bottom metal different? I could be totally wrong but I'm certain I have read that somewhere...

Could be not sure either but if it was 7 mm rem mag should have plenty of length then.

Thats correct! They are all more like a long mid action. They work great for so called short action rounds that need more room than a short action provides.
They work great for cartridges like the wsm, saum, and Sherman Max

So my 6.5 Creedmoor action would fit the 6.5 PRC?

different bolt size
You would need a Tikka with a magnum bolt for the prc
thought about a 6.5saum or 6.5-284 on the tikka action for my next build. I have 2 more 700 actions I need to do something with then I'll start my search for one. Never heard a single complaint about one except the receiver screws snapping off with heavy magnums recoil. That's an easy fix though...
Can a tikka bolt be opened up like a 700? Standard to a magnum?

Yeah that's right need mag bolt. Where could someone if possible change bolt to fit PRC?

Ive heard of guys trying but my understanding is that Tikka wont just sell a bolt, or maybe they cost more than the rifle??
Yes. Shaen (Shooter71) just did one he posted pics
