Look on gunbroker or gunsinternational for them. Aw, they'll do it again. It'll be a Shot Show special or something but they'll run it again. Oddly enough MRC doesn't offer a rifle in that caliber. 7x57 yes, but 6.5 Swede no. Strange. Still wonder what a T3 Forest is worth, though.

But since it looks as though there's no market for the Tikka Forest I suppose I'll go back to saving coin for the XWR...a new XWR!
