So when are the Tikka T3's going on sale in anticipation of the T3x's ??? (!)

[The Kurgan]

Been looking around, with the exception of some used or show models at Epps's there are NO sales! I really want to grab one or two in a few different calibres to try, but not at $800 and up.

I bought 2 last week at $695, they are on sale everywhere right now

where?

Epp's is advertising a Tikka sale right now

 

[The Kurgan]

yes I know. They are not new, and there's only a few, and they're not really great prices.

Cabelas had them on sale for $695. Prairie Guntraders has them on sale right now. $699 for blued and have the best selection of cals.

Thank you... just what I was looking for. Never shopped at Prairie Gun before.

I have bought countless rifles from them, they are top notch!!!

PGT is great. Highly recommend.

Cabela's, wholesale sports, prairie gun traders, p&d, Northpro sports. Probably others as well. Stainless are around $799 blues $695

What does the new version offer? At under $700, the T3 are priced correctly. Not a deal, per se, as $900-$1000 for a T3 was a joke.

Metal bolt shroud, modular stock, new recoil pad, stock noise reduction, improved grip, redesigned ejection port, improved rail attachment, steel recoil lug

Are the Texs any good anyway over the T3 Lite?

Jo brooks has some stainless (243,22-250) on for $749.

The only thing that interests me in the new version are the metal bolt shroud and recoil lug, both of which will be available for individual purchase and will fit a normal T3. I picked up a stainless from prairie gun traders for 799. I'm guessing the new ones will be 1100-1200 bucks. Which makes these deals right now a steal.

I'm ordering a few from Prairie Gun tomorrow. The T3x's really don't offer a huge improvement. I will order a metal shroud and a steel lug after the fact (I have not seen any impact marks on any of my aluminum lugs, and I have never seen a plastic shroud break). The modular grip on the new synthetic stocks don't interest me, and a larger ejection port is of no practical value to me on a DM bolt rifle. The best deal right now is with Prairie Gun. The new ones will all be north of $1000 for sure.

Who will buy a 7 mag or .338 and make the first T3 in 458 WM?

That was my exact thinking. Excellent rifle as it is.

Only thing that interests me on the new T3x line up is the varmint in a 6.5 creedmore

Easy enough to rebarrel them.

I thought that 260 and Creedmore are very similar?
