cb_tikka,
Wish you the best of luck in finding one. I have a T3 Stainless Lite that is probably one of the most accurate rifles I own. After I became smitten with the rifle and cartridge, I was going to pick up one or possibly two more for my kids who are starting to hunt… but I waited about 6 months too long and then Beretta stopped importing that chambering to the US. I think they still import the 260. Not much of a difference between the two…
Maybe if enough of us show interest, they will start importing the 6.5×55 again. My recommendation is to google “Tikka T3 6.5×55” and one may show up on Gunbroker or one of the other sites.

cb_tikka,
Just another thought. You may want to give a call to Alex out at EuroOptics a call and see if there is anything he can do for you. I don't know when they started carrying the Tikka line, but they have been a Sako dealer for years. Maybe he has a 6.5×55 laying around in a corner somewhere that they forgot about. Their website is EuroOptics.com. Have dealt with Alex on a several occasions and he has been great to deal with. They also have the T3 sporters in stock out there if you are interested.

I had already emailed Alex and no luck. I've been searching for 2 months now… Canada has that cal but they won't ship to US.

Hello,
I found that gun for you here in northern Minnesota at a small gun shop. He is asking $595 before tax. It is the Tikka T3 Hunter in 6.5 x 55mm woodstock blued. I can get the contact information to the person that is serious about it. I don't want to post here and have him get a raft of calls without the interest really. Let me know what I can do for you.
He has a T3 Lite in .243 synth. stainless for the same price too. Really nice guy.

Russ,
Yes it is, I saw it today (Tikka T3 Hunter in 6.5 x 55mm, woodstock, blued)
He will sell it for now for $535 plus tax = $571.91 . The shop owner said he could send it to another FFL for you for
between $30 – 45 dollars shipping estimate. May cost something on your end at your gun FFL.If you are interested, send me an e-mail to knowj4@rkpvgr.pbz for the details of the gun shop and his contact information. Glad to help.
I just happened to see it when I answered the original post after I picked up a leftover 695 Whitetail Hunter, blued, synthetic stock in .300 Win Mag from him for $475 a few months back. He is a great guy, a small shop in a really small northern Minnesota town.
