Very nice and very jealous!  I would LOVE  heavy barreled Tikka in that caliber or 30-06, the latter for sentimental reasons.

I wish I could get my hands on the Stainless Varmint…  We are getting our FFL and I'll see if Beretta will let us import some of these hard to get Tikkas

That would be great! Personally I am not optimistic with the way Beretta has seemingly been cutting the models that they import.  Maybe you/we will all get lucky though.

If you feel like doing the leg work and paper work, your T3 HB is available in Canada in .204, 22-250, .308, 7mm rem mag, 300 mag, 300 wsm and .223.
I'm not sure why they are available in Canada and not the US… Doesn't make any sense.

And for the record, no, I will not sell my T3 HB Stainless 300 WSM!

No, it doesn't make any sense.  I would buy one now in .308 if they were sold in the US!  As it is I will probably end up buying a Lite stainless and rebarreling it.

Assuming you are in the US your requested T3 sounds good but there are a few problems.  If I remember correctly Beretta owns both Sako and Tikka and they only import certain models in certain calibers.  From what I have been told (and able to find) they only import the varmint in .223 and .22-250.  You might be able to find a varmint in .308 but odds are it will be used and difficult to find.  It also will not have a threaded barrel.  The only model that fits your requirements of .308 with a threaded heavy barrel that Beretta still imports is the Tikka Tactical model.  Beretta used to import both a 20″ and 24″ barreled tactical but they only import the 20″ barrel now.  If you go to Tikka's website (http://www.tikka.fi/) you will see all kinds of great guns but many are not imported.  If you could find a varmint it should be cheaper to send it out and have it threaded by a gunsmith than to buy a tactical model.  The stocks on Tikka Performance are 100% inletted so all you should have to do is remove the old stock and screw on the new stock to the right torque settings.  I hope this helps.
