Last I heard was Tikka was in fact keeping the T3, and making some minor "improvements". But, that is also speculation, until we actually see it.

So, which Tikka rep deserves a punch in the face for the BS about dropping the whole line?
Sounds like a good scare tactic to boost interest and sales. Or just to test the waters for reaction.
So, instead they made some minor changes to justify a price increase. Will be interesting to see how much the MSRP got boosted.
I don't think the few changes to the stock are going to be a game changer to those that don't like the stock.

I'm a tikka fan, have several. But I seriously hope berreta/tikka did not compensate their design engineers for these improvements. Join the campfire for free,hit archives,send a few pm's. You could have most of the these upgrades done to your t3 in a day.

They are finally doing something about the noisy synthetic stocks. I stuffed my T3 stainless buttstock to quiet it down. When I checked all my other synthetic stocked rifles, they all came with fillers in there.

They should just offer a "bare" model, with no stock. Or team up with McMillan for a real fiberglass model.

So the only actual change is a larger port. My two tikka already wear after market stocks.

Wow thats it!....What a disappointment!...The way some guy's on this site that were supposely "In the know" were letting on there was going to be major Improvements, the only real change I saw was a little wider ejection port, its still got the plastic bolt shroud and trigger guard, And I could care less about the "Improved" stock....It's still the same old "Plastikka" rifle its always been.........Ha!...........Hb

So the only actual change is a larger port. My two tikka already wear after market stocks. The aluminum lug is now steel and the shroud is no longer plastic -- it's metal too. The barrel is floated all the way back -- no more speed bumps -- or at least that's the way it was on the rifle I played with.
