Learned from a friend yesterday the T3 CTR will be introduced at NRA next week and available by mid-summer. Name on list, can't hardly stand it.

Lookin at Thunderbeast P1 for the Hushpower. Need to find dies, BBs and data.

Tikka T3 CTR

I really like the looks of that. Lots of powders work well, the 4350's are at the top of the list for a 260 from my experience.

I'll likely concentrate on working up something with 123-grain Scenars because 500 is a long poke in my area. That said the 8-twist will be a blessing should I decide to go heavier.

We've had a Ruger Compact .260 (oldest son's) that shot 120 Rem Accutips so well we never hand loaded for it. A true death on a cracker tool for deer and coyote until he traded it to my brother for a slightly bigger rifle. It's piled up two mulies and a cow elk for kids in CO since.

Been wanting a .260since then. This'un looks prime.

Prolly put the Mk 4 3.5-10x40 LRT M1 on it til I can sell a few items and try NF or S&B.

If I didn't already have a tricked out T3 Swede, and a 6 Creed in the works, I would be all over that gun.

You, Mackay and Tennessee, plus a few more, started this Finnish Fascination!

Damn. My credit card was causing flames to shoot out of my pants pocket when I saw this thing in 260.


Then I realized it had a 20" barrel. I own 260s in lengths from 18.5"-24" currently and the 20" in this configuration may just be a deal killer.


This rifle in a 16" 308 or a 24".260 would close the deal.

Wonder what it'll cost? Looks like it is designed to compete with the Steyr Tactical. But the latter comes with a rail that'll accept a clip on NVD forward of the day optic, and it don't need no stinking bedding.

Aluminum TG. Now if they could just adapt a similar one to the T3.

Depends how much upcharge they try for in a Tacticool set up.

The incremental costs increase of production cannot be very much.

If they keep the price right, I would consider, would prefer SS.

Where can you order one of these?

Mag length?

Even in 20" it will still beat a 308.

When I called Beretta and Euro Optics not long ago, they said No go to the CTR in the USA, perhaps that changed.

The listing of 3.340 kg. comes out to 7# 6 oz.. I see there are two other models also to be released. One with a 12.5" lop and the other with an adjustable monte carlo stock.

I finally got it. Posted pics on Deflave's thread. Still Taux Up!
