Hmmm... Guess that's why there is only one set of pics. It does look very nice though.

The same can be said for any rifle that is picture profiled. However, given the variability in laminate patterns, various modifications, use of different scope bases and rings, different calibres, etc., there's interest among owners and prospective owners in seeing these beasts.
LOVE MINE! I finally finished my Biathalon Setup with all the weirdo slings, but I am now stuck in Petawawa all summer so I cannot update the pics, or take any new high quality glory shots.
Horse Soldier, I agree man they are basically the same, but I think that everyone does something a little different with theirs, I know I tried to.
Rim Fire Mac, I really like the look of that master sporter man!

Ok, so here is mine ...
Still waiting on an EGW rail from Allen Gun Works but nothing has showed up in the mail yet. Also waiting for some Burris Zee rings to mount a Sightron SIII 6-24x50 for F-T/Rish shooting or a Bushnell 6500 1.25-8 for hunting.
And I love how adjustable the stock is:
And with the MPOD for some F-T/R:

Each to their own I guess. I quite like it. It different and strange. Good range queen, and "oooo" factor.
Jason, you're right that is a Barnard trigger. It's quite nice. I bought the rifle on the EE here, and from what I heard it was put together by the guys at Robertson's. The barrel is a TruFlite 7 twist and it's chambered in 223. Its biggest asset is the barrel length- at 32" it can sling 90 vld's approaching 2900 fps.
I think that the T3 would be well suited to rebarreling in 6.5mm at 30 or 32 inches for some decent speed on the 140's.
I've done a fair bit of tinkering with the T3 system and I think that it's an extremely undervalued platform. The trigger can be tuned down to well under a pound, and swapped around between the T3, 595, and Finnfire in most cases. Some people complain about the 'plastic' magazines, but I'd bet that they'd stand up to everything an AI mag would, save maybe backing over one with a truck, and, they'll never rust or corrode if forgotten about in the truck bed. In terms of product lifetime, I think these particular mags are of low concern.
The stock color is nothing short of gaudy. It's potentially a less 'violent' color scheme for the competition folks over the pond which this rifle was apparently produced in conjunction with, though I'd be interested to see how many T3-S's are used in Skan competition against things like the CG80 and STR, especially since a two stage trigger is seldom seen on a Tikka product (however I have seen pictures of one T3-S fitted with diopter sights). A two tone grey or natural tone would have sufficed just as well.

I am a recent convert over the composite polymer mags. They are excellent and certainly more durable than metal mags in many ways!
I happen to be major fan of the colour. Quite simply, I finding it stunning! To each their own!

Me too! If they offered aqua/pink laminate I'd be all over that version. Actually I admit to having more interest in performance and accuracy and could care less about colors. Sun hats and sandals come in so many shades it's easy to coordinate with any stock color.
