All good improvements we've been looking for - and the SAKO 85 needs to fix thier scope rail BS, and screws ... They fixed those already.
Of course they need to fix the ejection port... And probably will in the ? 95 model


I see the "improvements" as fixes to non-existent problems.

I have 5 Tikkas, all shoot scary good with minimal load workup. I'll buy all the used T3s I can find when the T3x pushes prices down.

Pharmseller,

I agree 100% with you. The bigger ejection port was not Tikkas idea but came about because customers were requesting this. Myself personally I've never had any problem with the smaller ejection port but to the contrary appreciated that it contributed to the rigidity of the action which enhances accuracy.

In a few years I think we'll be reading adds that say......

"looking for a highly sought after original T3 action to do a custom build"
