I've been testing various handloads for an article in one of the .260 T3 Lites with the camo synthetic stock. Of course, it shoots very well with almost any load, including Remington 140 Core-Lokt factory ammo. I have been thoroughly pleased with mine shooting the 129 grain Hornady and the 130 grain Accubond. I am pushing them with R-19 and a charge just under the Nosler Number 6 listing as max. IIRC, I got the load from Dan Adair.

Ringman,
Six pounds, 14 ounces with a 3.5-10x40 Leupold VX-III in the factory Tikka rings. That's with a 22" barrel.

Thanks, Mule Deer. That's excellent.

I've got a box of the old Sierra SMP's that I am thinking about putting some together for next year's hog hunt. Oh, I'll be happy to buy the magazine for the article!

These T3's at Whittakers...I assume these are the straight T3's and not the new T3X's, is that correct?

Closeout sales are regulated by MAP rules?

As far as advertising the prices, yes.

That's another genius move by Beretta. They introduced a new rifle with a few changes at basically the same price point -- then they wouldn't eliminate MAP for the dealers to exhaust current inventory. They have to know it will impact the dealer orders for the new rifle?
If handled properly, it could have been a win/win for the consumer, dealer and manufacturer.

Guess that makes sense. I'm assuming the distibutors will also be doing closeouts on these, once the new models start coming in?

Guys -- the Tikka's should be on the website tonight. I'm getting tons of emails about models, etc. I hope this answers some questions? You'll probably have to click to email for price, but it should be on that specific model.
We'll have the T3x's up as well. We have about everything in stock at this point.
