I have been searching the whole country for a Tikka T3 Varmint NON stainless. Just blued synthetic, I really want a 338 win mag but if I have to would settle for another magnum. Anyone know why I can't find one or know where I possibly could?
 
The vast majority of Tikka Varmint rifles that I see in stores are stainless, which makes sense. in that most people seem to prefer stainless.
 
It could be that Stoeger isn't bringing those in, but I would have to confirm that. The main difference between the Varmint and the Tactical is the barrel, with the latter's being a Cr-Mo match grade barrel. Some options outside of the Tikka gene pool that we have in stock as well are the Savage 11/111 Long Range and the Remington 700 Long Range Tactical. All are available in magnum calibers. Let me know if you would like me to inquire as to whether or not the blued varmint is available in Canada.

Between myself, and three friends we own/ have owned two T-3 Tacticals, two T-3 Varmint Stainless , a T-3 Super Varmint, and a T-3 Sporter. The Tactical may be advertised as having a match grade barrel, but the two tactical models certainly were no more accurate then any of the others. The most accurate of bunch is a friends Supervarmint in 6.5x55. There is no way that I would pay so much more foe a Tactical model, when the other models are just as accurate.
