Now, can you kindly go speak with Tikka about a left hand CTR stainless in 6.5 CM? Us southpaws need the same options as our Euro counterparts.
That's in the works, but nothing finalized yet. They're talking about letting specific dealers do special orders on the Euro guns. It would be an extended lead time, but available none the less. Nothing finalized, just talk at this point. Darrik, Anything in the works for a T3/T3x in 6.5 CM? It would be nice to grab a Super Varmint in 6.5 CM or any other 6.5CM variant. Thanks, Bill Thats an option. Mine shoots 5 shots into less than a half inch with only 30-40 rounds down the pipe with standard factory ammo.

And we should have the 24" CTR Stainless 6.5 Creedmoor's any day now...
I enjoy handguns and I really like shotguns,...but I love rifles!

May regret saying this but. I clicked on the link, created an account. Had the price e-mailed to me. I can't seem to find any way on the Whi. site to lay-away the gun or add it to my cart. Dumb as i'm feeling, what am i doing wrong? Guy, You need to add it to your cart from the email. Then you'll be taken to their site where you can click on 'shopping cart' in the lower left of the page. You'll need to fill out your contact info, etc and then you'll be given the option of paying or doing layaway.

Thanks for doing this Darrik!
I'd also be interested in a T3x Lite Stainless in 6.5 CM...

Have no idea why I'm considering one, but I'm tempted.
Either way, thanks for doing this.
Picking up my 6.5 Ruger Precision from Darrik tomorrow and now he might steal a little more money from me.

Now lets talk about optics. What will you fine gentlemen top these rifles with?

Been wanting to try an 6x SS and may do so for this gun. Then piggyback my Aimpoint H1 at 10 o'clock.
That could handle just about every critter TN has to offer inside 350. And tickle steel way out yonder.
Getting excited.

Now lets talk about optics. What will you fine gentlemen top these rifles with? Have a Vortex Viper and a Bush 6500 Elite available. Either will work for my application which is predator hunting at fairly long range, or maybe deer where legal. I may also consider one or two others.

Now lets talk about optics. What will you fine gentlemen top these rifles with? I just had a scope rodeo at my house. I freed up a 6-18x40 Nikon buckmaster with target turrets.. I replaced it with a Meopta on my 2506AI because it is not great in low light. The Nikon does track true and work well at distance and that is where I see this rig being run.

I have an extra Z3 3-10x42 with the BRH reticle that might just be the ticket for a speed goat, OK white tail rifle like I believe this one can be. I'll develop a load using some TTSX or other long, pointy bullets and see which one it likes best. I suspect this is going to be like most other Tikka's I have, just load it, point it and shoot it.
