I did see it and contacted Beretta USA and in their very short sightedness they are not going to import these, Too bad I would buy one in a heart beat.

Any in 260?
Beretta told me last year that they were only thinking of bringing the 223 and 308 to the US.

They make it in 6,5×55 also, but as usual it's probably not imported to US that way.

“The T3 sporter, is not available in the U.S. at this time, Beretta USA, is considering this model for 2012, in the 308 win. and 223 rem. calibers.”
Thank you for contacting Beretta Customer Support.
Best regards,

This was my direct responce from Beretta USA. I replied that I thought that was very short sighted.
Here is what the GB auction said: This Tikka T3 Sporter will be available December 2011 with a limited US supply,
place your order now to reserve yours. -

Wanted one of these for awhile but was told by Beretta US that they had no plans of importing this rifle when I spoke to them in October.
Well, the guy at my local store said he special ordered one and when I visited the store yesterday… there it was in my hands! It was one of those now or never moments so I bought it! I HATE when that happens!!!

That looks great! How are the adjustments, feel, etc.?
Also, what caliber did you get it in?

To be honest, I took it out of the box, cleaned the bore, wiped it down and put it back into the box. With Christmas coming this was the last thing I needed to buy so it will not hit the range until the spring when I can afford to put a decent mount and scope on the rifle.
I played with the adjustments a little and it seems it is infinitely adjustable. The guy at local store already had a 308 on the shelf, but I wanted one in 223 Remington since I already have a really nice 308 bolt gun.
I'll post a range report once I get it out to the range.

They are going pretty quick… I saw 2 rifles in 223 just a few days ago. This is the only place I have founds them so far other than the local store where I bought mine.

The stock has the feel of a TRG but the weight is low as a hunting rifle.
Its definitely one of the most interesting factoryrifles ever and the accuracy is outstanding.
For those of you into long range I would give Alex at Europtic a call and rip one of the 6,5×55 of his hands before anyone else do it……Håkan
