Tikka T3 to T3X

[tripod3]

Looks like Tikka is changing the popular T3 to a T3X in Finland by a few physical differences.
A few stock changes, a larger ejection port, foam filled stock, scope mount options.
Not sure about cost but wonder when we will see them here.

Interesting..... thanks for the post. I"m all for Tikka rifles. I have 2 that shoot outstanding with premium factory ammo.

Also a Big Tikka fan. Have 2 and looking at a third in 270 WSM. Maybe I'll wait for the X version to get here.

Nice...It looks like they are listening. Wider ejection port, for single feeding, metal bolt shroud, steel recoil lug, and a stock that can be changed to different shooters preferences...I might have to get one of these!

Guess I could sell my ratty old sub-MOA shooting T3 Lite.

Those look like great improvements on an already outstanding rifle platform. Might finally be time for a new stainless 30-06.

They list having a sporter in 300wm, this would be a he!! of a budget TRG, I have one in 223 & it's a fantastic gun.

Another happy T3 Lite .243 owner here, love the T3s!

looks like they addressed all the complaints. Not sure about the modular stock. Hope this means the old t3 goes on closeout and I can get that 25-06 I been dreamin of.

Last fall there was a $150 rebate of sorts on T3 purchase. I suspected this was the sign of progress.
Now wondering if there will be a closeout or another rebate.

Dang, if I knew they were going to offer the CTR in 243 with a vertical grip replacement I wouldn't have spent the money on the project I am working on

Rumors are the T3x should be here about May. Might watch for old stock clearance.
