That sporter stock looks great on the T1x!

Be sure to use a quality Allen wrench when loosening the bolt that holds the handle on.  I hope to never run into the guy who tightens those in Finland….

We've busted two wrenches here at the shop.  Granted both were made from chinesium

Larkin you should become a moderator.  You put more into this site than anyone I bet!

FYI, we are working on a completely new forum site to upgrade this format into a modern system.  I believe that will help with memberships and the user experience.

Can't remove what no one tells me about. 

Want to be a moderator?

I'm busy losing $60 per magazine right now…

Maybe on the Tac-A1 but 62 in/lbs would crush a stock.

Beretta has maintained that 35-50 in/lbs is within spec.

This whole forum is about to get a much needed face lift.  That should work out some of the PM bugs we've been seeing.

Hi Eric

Thanks for your feedback. I never thought of adding o-rings to those grooves. That's a great idea!

I'm sure there will be design changes as we get more feedback from everyone. That's ones of the reasons I wanted to make it easy to swap out the knob. It can easily be upgraded down the road.

Mags are there minus the springs. I'm still testing… Read more

I may have been told that this might be released after IWA next year as a follow up to the TSR released last month.

CTR calibers are the plan at this point.

Stay very far away from JARD. 4 defective triggers in one month and JARD refused to do anything about it.

We dropped them immediately

He seems to have disappeared.

Hit us up at the shop. We have three designs that should be ready to ship at the end of the month.

We might have one or two left that we held back.

No more GRS. I shot a video explaining why. They are a great product but we're not going to jump through the hoops to import them anymore.

Call the shop for inventory

The reason they limit the models is because of the Department of State. 

They have to pay an import tax on each model and variation they import.  Needless to say, this isn't cheap.  We were brain storming ideas and hopefully, we can launch some of these models (or at least similar) here.

Things are in the works….

I had the pleasure of hosting Beretta at our shop last week and I discussed this with them.

So far it is a design prototype for the European military market.  No word if it will be offered stateside. 

They equated it to the Canadian Ranger Rifle.  Everyone wants one, but only the Rangers get it.

For you Dog, I have one. It's set aside for you.

I'll do about 25% of my next run in gray.

Don't go to the dark side!!!

Thanks guys!  Looks like we'll have a new option on the next run of rails.

The link was taken down because we sold all of the rifles coming in. They should be here in July according to Beretta.

We do have a wait list going though. Email Andrea at the shop info@temp.tikkashooters.com. She'll get you on it.

There would be no cost difference.  The only thing these rails would not need is the dye tank.

Here's a picture of the rail on a stainless action.  There is a distinct difference.  What do you think?

Sir Ville

Those look like some sweet suppressors!  Here in the states they have such a sigma, we've only recently had a surge in technological advances. Thank you Obama!  Greatest gun salesman ever!

You could try bedding the rifle two inches forward of the receiver.  This should deaden some of those harmonics.  It won't fix it, but might help a bit.

An interesting side note – Raw, Type 3 anodized aluminum is actually stronger when it is not dyed.  The dye actually weakens the oxide build up slightly. 

These would be more durable than our black ones!

I can do that tomorrow.  There's only 180 more rails to anodize  ::)

At this point they are testing the market.  There are rumors of a TRG in 6.5CM as well…  but they wouldn't let me throw a couple in the pot with the CTRs.

There are quite a few T3x's stateside waiting for the 5/29 launch.  It was just the 6.5CMs that were delayed.

I was shipped one early so I could do a review and test fit product.  So far, eve… Read more

Land Surfer,

We have the full low down.  Call the shop at 406-285-2371 and we can get your CTR in 260 for you.  Last I checked, we had them in the warehouse as an early release gift from Beretta.

The 9.3 is a different best.  Beretta asked me today what 3 calibers our customers wished they imported and that was first on the list!

Jason

Hey Ziggy,

Send that back to the shop.  I'll test it and see what the problem is.  They've been bombproof but like anything, there is always one that can slip through the cracks.

Jason

Hi drdirt,

My Beretta rep told me yesterday that these did not make it on the boat for the 5/29 launch so July is the new drop date.

As I learn more I'll keep everyone posted.

Jason

CDI is no problem.  And they will inlet the stock for free when you purchase their bottom metal through our store.

There will be a video posted shortly.

Hi Matchman

I'll find some pictures and get them posted

Because I have to spend hours manually inletting it for the CTR bottom metal.

Oscar did not make it easy 🙂

Thanks Eric!

I appreciate the feedback and words of encouragement.

As long as you want Tikka stuff, I'll keep giving it to you 🙂

Ballistically, the two rounds are virtually identical.  The advantage for a reloader is the ability to tune the rounds.  The case is shorter on the CM giving you more room to play with seating depth.

Great question!

Welcome!  You're going to have fun with that rifle!

Not at all 🙂

Tikka does set the bottom price for their dealers. Dealers caught selling them cheaper lose their ability to sell them.

Tikkas shoot awesome!

So what kind of extras would tilt the deal in favor of the online seller?

I.e. Steep parts discount?

This is great information guys!

I definitely don't want to become like the businesses listed that shall not be named.  Their customer service is horrible.

My goal is to create a way to sell our in house products in a one stop shop type of environment now that I have the direct relationship with Tikka/Beretta. 

Like Eric said, there is no margin in t… Read more

Great info.  Thanks!

So what about rifles in which the manufacturer controls pricing so everyone has to price them the same?

Would it come down to availability?

Is the FFL transfer worth the hassle?

The main thing I don't like about the forum is the difficulty in uploading pictures.

The rest is cosmetic

Thanks guys!  It's taken 2 years and 5 developers to finally get my vision online. The old site was made by me at 3am and looked like it!

There's still some odds and ends that need to be finished, but the meat is there.

Next, I need to fix this forum. Is it just me, or can it be a little cumbersome to use?

There's going to be at least a $100 price increase. That could detract people on the fence between a Remmy and a Tikka.

They are close, but that $100 could make the difference in gaining new market share.

Beretta is trying to convince Tikka to keep the standard T3 because of the price point it fills here in the states.

We'll see what happens.

So the “Low-pro” mag was a bust.  It was advertised as a 5 round and flush mounted…

It's just a standard CTR Mag with a block in it to limit the number of rounds that can be loaded…

Too bad I can't send them back!

Hi Agar

The ones sent here are all 22″.  I could cut one down for you if you like. 

So according to our Beretta rep, the T3X will be roughly $100 more than the standard T3.  No ETA on the US receiving these…

It is still unclear if Tikka will keep both models so they can compete with a lower priced model.

I can get one in a few days.  Call the shop at 406-285-2371 and Andrea can get it on it's way to your FFL

$798

I finally got these loaded into the system:

OK…  I finally got all the pictures edited and the link posted.  Be sure to click on the main photo and you'll be able to see all the other photos as well.

The stainless T3 in the photos is my 223 Lite.  It looks pretty good in that barrel channel!

These will be shipping from Norway Wednesday and should be in our shop in a couple weeks.
