ya ya - you know what I meant
How limited are these rifles? I don't see them on Tikka's website - is it just one production run that is expected?
Have wanted one of these since I first read about them winning the RFP to replace my Ruger Scout but at $2700 no thanks.
So will these have all the new improvements done like the new T3 line ?

Where is the Ranger logo on these production rifles
My guess would be there isn't going to be one. Colt is building the Ranger rifles, these are also the civilian version.
This is basically a Tikka CTR with a laminated stock and iron sights for twice the price. When the Tikka CTR was first available it came with the Sako TRG22 magazine which is a couple of hundred dollars, so they now have a dedicated CTR magazine which is half the price with the plastic floor plate so that it cannot be used in a TRG22. I should state that I think the Tikka CTR is a really good rifle and is defiantly worth the price, just not sure about the Arctic unless you are a serious collector, in which case you should probably get the CZ 557 Ranger (i.e Range rifle according to CZ's marketing literature) at the same time for your collection, since this was also a competitor in the Ranger rifle selection!

So no logo, no trg mag. I am happy with my $780 T3 bear bone rifle.

Why can't manf just standardize on AI mags? Bad enough these are stupid expensive, but also unobtanium.

Justification for my CTR was extra TRG mag. Looks like the new one knocks 50 bucks US off but CTR only mag. No thanks, like the metal floor TRG mags.
Revolvers RULE; remember that next time you BEND over to pick up brass OR ejected brass pings off the precision gear.
