Tikka Canadian Ranger Rifle Ever to be Sold to the Public?
Has anybody heard any rumors or have any insider knowledge that perhaps the new Tikka Canadian Ranger Rifle will ever be sold to the public? Because I want one, bad. The only carbine rifle with a backup sights, laminate stock, stainless steel, and 10 rnd mags on the market is the Ruger Gunsite Scout, but I would greatly prefer the 20″ flash-hiderless barrel, double stack magazine (so the mag doesn't hang out as ridiculously far as on the Ruger), and scope rail where it belongs on the Tikka. I hope Tikka does offer these to the general public before long, Ruger would have some serious competition.

Wolverine Supplies just started taking pre-orders for the “Arctic Tikka .308 and .300 Win.” The cost is around $2600 I believe. I personally just want to buy a set of the irons that are fitted to the rifle.

What about the “T3 Battue” modell ??

I own a Battue in 308 and its a beauty to carry in the bush.
The sights are awesome, probably the easiest and best fast target acquisition on market. -
I would consider a Battue in .338 WM, or larger but in my area my 30-06 does the trick.

That Canadian ranger version is truly (to my eye, and way of thinking) the epitome of what an all around practical rifle should/can be. While I would prefer an ultra light composite stock on it, given their extremely cold conditions that they may face, the laminated stock makes a lot of sense.
My only real change would be to set it up for AI mags, rather than the retardedly expensive sako mags.
Great rifles though.

Hello,
I just ordered a stainless T3x CTR in 308 and would be very interested in the thread on hooded front sight of the Canadian Ranger CTR, does anyone know of a source for these, in blue or stainless? While I appreciate optics, I feel more comfortable knowing backup iron sights are there…
