Can anyone please help me understand the main differences between the Cabela's Tikka t3x CTR in Midnight camo differences compared to the black model sold by other retailers. From what I can see and the very limited knowledge provided by staff the only difference is the muzzle brake and the removable foregrip and Pistol grip. Does anyone else know if there's any other differences. Also can anyone explain if there's any differences in terms of the action compared to the tika A1 Tactical

My CTR 6.5 PRC came with regular mag and not the one that’s usually in the pics.
So, it might be a calibre thing?

Likely has to do with calibre - the CTR magazines, IIRC, are basically TRG mags (short action of course), which will fit/feed .308, 6.5 creedmoor and so on. 6.5 PRC wont likely work in the CTR magazine due to the double stack to single feed design along with the feed lips etc. I suspect Tikka is using their standard single stack magazine for 6.5 PRC.

Cabelas or any other retailer for that matter likely don't have photos or stock images detailing the minute differences, especially if its a magazine.. so most people will see the picture of the CTR with the double stack single feed magazine in the picture, and assume it's the same mag for 6.5 PRC, for example.
 
Thanks for all the information guys. I picked one up. The differences are the adjustable for end insert and palmswell. The muzzle brake. The stock color. And the set trigger which was a big selling feature for me. They ended up dropping the price during a sale down to 1599
 
Those set-triggers are phenomenal.
I've managed to score two of them over the years, one for my centerfire and one for my T1X.
Any of my friends who I let shoot my Tikkas are blown away when they try the set mode. All the goodness of a crisp 2.5lb T3 trigger in regular mode, but then push that baby forward for a 12oz break like a glass rod.

Yes they are, I have that trigger on my CZ 527 in 223, leave it in regular when calling coyotes as I'm usually wear light gloves, but at the range or in the gopher patch when you set it it's really sweet
