No that is the T3 Varmint, I was referring to the older Tikka M695 model. These were the Tikka's offered before the T3's. Here is a little history about Tikka, sometime in the 60's after Tikka was aloud to start making rifles again ( I believe after WWII, Tikka made sewing machines just to keep the factory open.) they came out with the Tikka M55 (short action) and M65 (long action) which were sold here in the US as the Ithaca Lsa-55 and the Lsa-65 (1969 to 1977). Next Tikka came here with the Model M558 and M658 followed by the M590 and the M690 ( I don't know if this model made it here) which had a closed action like the T3. The next offering from Tikka was the model M595 and the M695 (1989 to 2003) which ended in 2003 with the launch of the current offering the T3.
