Can anyone point me in the right direction? I've been looking for a blued T3X Lite in .260 Rem for quite awhile, but no such luck. Found stainless, but it's gotta be blued. Thanks!
Help finding a Tikka T3X Lite in .260 Rem please

I'm not even willing to settle on a T3X stainless, let alone a Savage.
This rifle will be a gift.

That's for sure!
Baloney to some, steak to others. I kind of like the way my Savage shoots...
Who cares what your gun groups like...The OP is looking for a Tikka. You must be a used car salesman...always trying to sell you something you don't want.

Nice shooting! I'm not interested in a debate on what's better. I think that's subjective anyway.

Just because a savage shoots straight, doesn't mean it is a better gun.
There's lots of other factors
Not all Savages shoot straight. I had to rebarrel a Model 11 in 22-250 to get it to shoot under 2½" at 100M.
Buddy of mine had a 30-06 Model 114....it was a 1½" rifle on it's best days.
Even if it does shoot, it still is what it is. Dave.

A Tikka T3 Lite and Savage LRPV are completely different rifles. Common sense would say a heavy 11 LB bench rifle would shoot better groups then a 5-7/8 lb hunting rifle.
I know there is a blue Tikka T3 Lite .260 Rem. at the Rocky Mountain House, AB, Canadian Tire. Unfortunately, no T3X in that caliber though. Just in case you want to settle for a T3.

Hey thanks! If the T3X proves to be too elusive I may look into that one...as long as it's still there.

target pics weren't shot with your run of the mill Savage hunting rifle, the LRPV is a heavy barrel single shot target rifle with a HS Precision stock and chambered in the diminutive, and scary accurate, 6mm BR.....while very impressive, totally not relevant and on topic

Change out the bolt shroud if you want, the rest of the "updates" on the 'x' are negligible.

No I never found one. Ended up buying a model 700 in .260 but I'd still prefer the T3X. I was recently contemplating going with a T3X in 6.5 swede I stead.
