Tikka T3x dealers?

[mancheechee]

I think I have narrowed down my rifle models down to either the Rem700 or the Tikka T3x Lite Compact 1:8 twist, leaning more on the Tikka.

I like that on other forums, people really like the accuracy and the lighter weight of the Tikka with the Compact 20" barrel.

Where or which stores carry the Tikka lines near Frederick...?
I am able to find plenty of T3 models, but not the newer T3x models.

thanks for your help!

I have a T3 and love it. When I was shopping for mine what I was finding is any dealer that sells beretta can get them but the problem is they are mostly limited to what they are able to obtain from the wholesaler/distributor. Not every model and caliber listed on tikka's site is available in the US. I would suggest keeping an eye on some of these distributors/wholesalers checking back often to see when the t3x starts getting available here. Then have your local ffl dealer order it for you.

I am not sure that the t3x models have hit the shelves yet. I had originally heard May, so it should be soon.

 

[mancheechee]

both very good info.
I did not realize Tikka was owned by Beretta and I assumed the T3x had yet to make it to the retailers.

Too many horror stories about the newer Remingtons for my taste. Tikka all the way for me.

Go Tikka. Not even close.

Looks like the T3x is finally starting to be available though I don't see any lite compacts listed yet.

Where?

Davidsons (gallery of guns), sports south, and lipsey's all have listing for the t3x. Any ffl should be able to order from those wholesale distributors.

mancheechee: looks like lipsy's has a listing for the light compact in .223, 22-250, .243, .308, .204, & 7mm-08. Though their site has this disclaimer "This item is in the Lipsey's Catalog, but it does not mean that it is currently in-stock. Please contact a Lipsey's Dealer to order.". If anything it at least gets you the manufacturer's model numbers for the gun you are looking for.

The t3x ctr in 6.5cred looks like it might have some potential.

I picked up a T3 Superlight in 30.06 at Cabela's last year. Threw a $130 Nikon on top. Only shot it once in the field and brought home dinner.

Listed, but not in stock

They just launched in the US at the NRA meeting a week or so ago. I am hopeful that since now that they are listed on the site that they will be in stock soon.

I did read on the Tikka Shooters forum that the pre order CTRs in 6.5 Credmoor did not make it on the first ship and won't be in until the shipment in July. Not sure if that is all CTRs or just those from the pre order.

YEah, I got in on that pre-order. I was also one of the guys who posted on SH when I found about the July crap. Initially, we were told "end of May"

Whittaker has them in .260 now.

Was the bolt smooth and trigger crisp?

I have the ctr in 308, bolt is silly smooth, trigger turned down and awesome trigger especially out of the box. It is more accurate then me.

I was looking at the TK3 tactical on line tonight . Really like this rifle. But why doesn't it have a threaded barrel ??
Well I was wrong ! I just found 1 with a threaded barrel.

 

[Boss94]

Well I'm to be corrected !! I just found 1 with a threaded barrel !! May be my next purchase :-)
