[Ganderite]

You Will Soon Be Able to Own The C-19 Canadian Ranger Rifle – Tikka Introduces the “Arctic”

The civilian version of the new military rifle for the Canadian Rangers will be in stores from October for about $2,700.

It’s being made by Finland-based Tikka and named “Arctic,” said George Wallace, sales manager for Stoeger Canada, which is distributing the rifles.

…

“The first deliveries to retail are likely to be the second week of October,” Wallace said Aug. 26 by e-mail. “These are being produced for us in the month of September.”

Real ones are being made by Colt Canada under license to use the T3 action design. The commercial facsimile guns are being made in Finland by Tikka, dressed up to look like the Colt rifle.

$2700 for a clone that is not even made in the same country as the real deal? No thank-you please.

Last I heard Colt has yet to get paid to make them....
So these are basically CTR's at 2.5x the price, which is a HUGE rip off.

Is the CZ CRF?

 

[Claven2]

Is the CZ CRF?

For $1700 less, does it matter?

the CZ557 is a push feed. The CZ550 is the CRF variant of the gun, but not the rifle the Rangers trialled.

in...

 

[Gatehouse]

$2700 is about $2000 more than a Tikka is worth.

 

[Philthy1]

$2700 is about $2000 more than a Tikka is worth.

Well, we are paying 4800$ each for essentially 6,800 T3's

One guy said "in". A commercial flop in the making by all accounts.
