Will the models that come with the long 5 round magazines like the T3X Varmint, for example, accept the shallower magazine of models like the T3X Compact?

My dealer stated a $50 increase as well, though stressed it wasn't 'official' yet. Regardless, I think the improvements are worth it. Our retail price is going up $26 on the stainless T3x Lite in standard chamberings...

Dave When they put Obama on the $26 dollar bill, I'll start wiping with them too.

Question will be- What models will Beretta USA import to the USA? For lefties, it will be minimal as always. ... Yep. A couple of the Tikka's I would be willing to prepay, and wait, if an importer were willing to do the paper work. Thinking of the AR group buy that K-Var (?) did for the Left Hand Zastavas a couple years ago. Cant help but think that the unique Left Hand Tikka models would sell at least as well as the LH Mausers...

And hopefully Beretta would be a little easier to deal with than the folks at Zastava.

I plan on acquiring a T3X lite stainless lefty in 270 Win, but I would really like to see them make that available in 260 or 6.5x55 for us lefties, too. I've got a 6.5 itch that is gonna require scratching.

when are these rifles available?
All of them do something better than the 30-06, but none of them do everything as well.

Metallic shroud and steel lug? Looks like Tikka is tired of giving a little profit to Mountain Tactical ... To add to Lefty angst, their website says they make the T3 left handed in 9.3 x 62, but try to find one. A while back some Scandinavian airline had crazy winter RT fares to Sweden and Norway. Sub $300 crazy. Honest to goodness I emailed the Sako distributor in Stockholm to see if they had the 9.3 x 62 in LH in either the 595 or T3. Fortunately, they did not.

Our retail price is going up $26 on the stainless T3x Lite in standard chamberings... That's a good deal... Wonder if SW will continue to order in Superlites and if they'll be the new configuration (one would think so). Now, if Tikka would just pull their heads out and give me an 8" .22-250.....

I heard at the sportmans show this month. I think it was an NRA show, but can't remember which one for sure.

If they would fix the mag issue(smashed or broken tips and seating bullets deeper) in the heavier recoil carts, they'd have it just about lined out.

I'm a hard core Tikka fan but for several reasons the new T3X doesn't get me all giddy. For one I see no issue with the size of the ejection port on the standard T3. For me it functioned great. I have to wonder if the larger port of the new T3X doesn't compromise the regidity of the action to some degree possibly effecting accuracy. Time will tell. In a few years I can see adds that say, looking for an original highly sought after T3 action for a build. 😃
Metal bolt shrouds and recoil lugs I have no real use for other than to make my rifle heavier. I've never had an issue with the parts that keep my rifle lite to include the plastic magazine rather than a steel one. In fact one major reason my Tikkas go to the mountains with me rather than my Sako is because the plastic parts the Tikka has make it noticeably lighter.
