How limited are these rifles? I don't see them on Tikka's website - is it just one production run that is expected?

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.

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.
Cause AI and Sako are two diff companies in two diff countries. What company is STUPID enough to standardized on another companies' parts; doing that or asking is STUPID.

Do you need a hug?

He needs more than a hug
An intellectual response would be preferred but that is asking too much; just look at CTail's response.
As for hug if you look anything like Bill Murray then NO Thanks.

Are these made by Diemaco in Canada or by Tikka in Finland?

Oops dealer forum won't polite here.
I'm assuming these Tikkas are made in Finland by Tikka. I contacted Colt Canada about a civilian version of the Ranger rifle and the said there were no plans to make it available to the public.

Thanks for the info. That's too bad. A Diemaco ranger rifle is what I really want. If I wanted a Tikka I'd just buy a standard model.
