Just left Whittaker Guns and noticed the Tikka T3’s were marked down. I’m guessing they’re getting ready for the T3x? I thought some of you may be interested in grabbing these before they’re gone. The T3 Lite’s in stainless were at $580. The T3 Stainless Hunters were at $770. And I think the blued/camo Superlite’s were around $650. The other Tikka’s were marked down too, I just can’t remember the price!
Have fun...

I have one of the blued camo superlights, and I like it a great deal. Mine is chambered for the .260 Remington and shoots the 129 grain Hornady and the 130 grain Nosler Accubond very well.

That is tempting for sure. My SL 7MM-08 sure is a accurate little thing and just fun to shoot, I could like one in .243 to go along with it.

I'm thinking a 243 would be great now that I can use a 6mm for deer hunting here in IN....

Mine went to Texas this past March. Turns out the 260 will snuff a pig.

Waiting on the new ones. Saw one on the Fieldsports Channel tonight and the more open breech improved the looks a good bit.
Now, if they'd just offer a blind magazine, or hinged floorplate.
What fresh Hell is this?

We have a couple new left hand models in the store and the tracking numbers show we'll get a bunch more today.
I enjoy handguns and I really like shotguns,...but I love rifles!

Thanx No. It's a call or email thing for pricing. I can't publish the prices because of MAP regulations. I can get a complete list of what we have in stock and post it here, but I can't post prices with it. I'll do that later today. You can email us with any questions: darrik whittakerguns.com eric whittakerguns.com We'll be glad to help.

Do you ever end up with a LH factory wood stock laying around?
Just thought I'd ask.

We don't have any additional stock. I'd post a WTB in the classifieds here. I'm sure there are some floating around.

Rick has a few McMillan Sako Hunters in EDGE inlet for T3 at $100 under retail. Pick your paint scheme.
Deal from Whittakers + deal from Campfire = superb little rifle pretty much ready now.
I'm thinking about a .260 Rem for myself.

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.

Mule Deer, I've been testing various handloads for an article in one of the .260 T3 Lites with the camo synthetic stock. Do you have a weight on it? Today I weighed a used Kimber .308 at Foxes Firearms in Grants Pass, Oregon. With an 18" barrel it weighs 4lb 15oz on the postal scale.
