You get nothing from the Tikka line of Rifles offered there that we don´t get here. Guaranteed 😉 We , on the other hand , get several models of Sako´s  & Tikka´s that you don´t get over there .
I just send an e-mail to Sako factory in Finland (were two of my relatives work too) to get a clear answer to this burning question. We´ll see soon .. 😉

Not that any of this matters but i wonder , can´t sleep , get all sweaty and paranoid Before i get an answer. Someone is fooled here somehow. 🙂

EDIT : I stand corrected : They have exported 1/10″s to US. Didn´t sell this side of the Pond so it´s special order here.

[Sir Ville]

Of course they do. Apparently they don't know the Sako Quad shares the same exact trigger with a T3. Check their Quad trigger shoe. It's 110% fit.

I´m not trying to get anywhere. I just quote those dealers – and Tikka Brochure specs – who say that there´s no 1/10″ barrel available for a .223 cal T3. Maybe Beretta US re-barrels those guns for US market ?
I don´t care in which twist rate they come but i wonder where those 1/10″ barrels origin from.

[Sir Ville]

Tikka has NO 1/10 factory threaded .223 barrels. Only 1/8 & 1/12.

What does a “factory threaded .223″ barrel have to do with this thread?  :-[  Pretty common knowledge that the Tikka Varmint in .223 comes in 8″ and 10″ twist barrels, with the 8” being the most sought-after.  Neither is threaded.

I meant factory barrel. Not factory threaded – my bad. As said i´ve never seen , nor Heard , of a .223 1/10 factory barrel. BTW – 9 rifles out of 10 over here are also factory threaded. People use suppressors here.
Once more : Tikka does not make a .223 T3 barrel with a 1/10 rifling. Not according the cataloque anyway. Nor can one order one according two dealers i just called to so that common knowledge it´s not. Don´t kill the Messenger. 🙂

[Sir Ville]

I have their Sporter/Varmint on my Quad.

[Sir Ville]

Still,according Tikka in Finland -no factory barrel in 1/10. Weird …

??? Mine says 1:10 right on the barrel!

A T3 with 1/10 factory barrel? Never heard of one. Neither has the Tikka cataloque. 🙁
Is yours a .223?

[Sir Ville]

DIP Inc in US. Their Sako Quad ts. The T3 and Quad share the same trigger.

I use Possum Hollow rod guides on my Guns. Works well.

[Sir Ville]

They put those lugs in there to give us the opportunity to start tikkashooters.com & make them for you!

;D ;D ;D

I agree. My Range won the 2014 Swedish .22 LR BR Champs at 100 meters and this year i came second (after a stupid mistake from my part) against several high-end Match Rifles from Feinwerkbau, Anschütz and Bleiker.
I don´t use the “Range” stock on mine though but pillar bedded GRS. This little bugger shoots easy 6mm 5 shot groups at 50m all day long with training ammo. Ridiculously accurate .22 LR (and .17 HMR to boot) eventhough it´s a mere barrel changer ..

[Sir Ville]

I already have several scopes , better than decent , to choose from. I´ll probably crown it with my Delta 3-24x ED  or IOR Comp 9-36x Spyder on Spuhr mounts. The scope is not the issue , neither is the stock actually , but i like the immense adjustability of the MDT Tac-21 😉

[Sir Ville]

My hips are pain defined…  Sorry if I miss the detail.  If I can work the details with an eye toward the 80.5 bullets I will be happy.

My hips still problem though

QUE ??  😮

Sorry about the hips , but i think you replied to a wrong thread .. 😉

[Sir Ville]

I don´t know about the US market but if they don´t sell it there it´s stupid. Why wouldn´t they BTW ??
