Darrik,
Is it too late to get in on this?

Much obliged!

Joe

I'm not Darrik, but if you go to the first page of this thread and click on the blued version of the pre-order it says one is left. I believe all the stainless were spoken for. D. will be here to respond, I'm sure, if something different is the case. Good luck, Bruce

We have more on order, but we're not sure if they'll come with the first shipment. Let me do some checking tomorrow and I'll post a reply.

I would jump on one of these in stainless too.

Having the first batch all "pre sold" should help move this version up in the factory production line.... I have a set of Redding dies and 100 new cases prepped.... Pretty sure this is the first time I have ever been set to reload before I got my hands on a new rifle.....

what about us lefty's?..........

Yeah, what about us lefties?

You're not forgotten. They'll ship, but I'm not sure if any will come in the first batch to hit the states. That's why I didn't do a pre-orders on them. My Tikka rep will be here Friday and we'll get some answers.

10 blued rifles just hit the door! Stainless in about a week. I’ve been told all of you with the blued rifles have been contacted.....

And for those of you with inquiring minds...

The only change I see to the mag is additional mag box space. The new magbox (the one I measured) measures 2.98". The older Tikka T3 (and X) mag measures 2.84". The new mag is designated as "M+", the old mag is just "M". This is perfect n my opinion. The new mag fits old rifles and the old mags fit the new rifle. The bolt stop appears to be in the same location as well.

The original mags should have been what the new one is...

Wonder if they'll shoot? LOFL!!!!

sir;

give me the first lefty ss when available. eddief doesnt deserve it as much as me

Thank you. I hope you know that I was just having a bit of fun, although I will commit to a purchase when they become available.

The .260 CTRs run a 2.95” magazine.... and use the long action zero stop. The T3 .260 use the original 2.8+” magazine and the short action bolt stop.

How’d they add .2” to the mag.... and leave the SA stop in the same place?

I’d post pics, but I hadn’t figured out the new system. If you look at the top of the mag with the bolt open, there’s enough space between the bolt face and the mag spacer where it could have been longer all along.

Something I missed — the barrel on these rifles is 24.5”.

The 24.5" barrel will balance nicely. I have a 7mm Rem in a T3x and like the longer barrel better than the shorter Tikkas.

What’s the weight on these since they have the 24” barrel?

Any change of putting together something for the Bergara B-14 HMR in 6.5 Creed?

Lay off the booze Bobby:-)

If someone who pre-ordered, or put one on layaway and winds up not wanting it, please let me know. The Whittaker's site wouldn't let me order one of the last one's for whatever reason. Thanks.
