I would welcome a rimfire from Tika based on their centerfire rifle quality. Hope it matches accuracy of their big brothers.

For that kind of $$ it will be interesting to be see how many corners get cut as opposed to say a Sako Finnfire ll.

It will be fun to see and shoot one down the road..

Can't have everything Dave..Kimbers were pretty but never cheap. I'd bet the new Tikka shoots rings around most of them ,too.

Beautiful, accurate and cheap has never really existed all together in most rifles.

The Tikka is indeed ugly. I have never let that keep me from buying a gun though. I have several Savages. Like most of you, I suspect it'll be well-built and accurate. Street prices will be in the mid-400's. That puts it in direct competition with the revered CZ rimfires. If I were starting out in rimfires, I might try one. I am about maxed out on rimfires right now though. Savage and Ruger Americans have a very good reputation for accuracy. They can be had for $150-$200 less and they are equally ugly.

Given my satisfaction with Tikka T3's and 595's I can see one of these in my near future.

I'm not gonna hold my breathe. Beretta USA, imprters of Sako and Tikka have been known to pull some bone-head maneuvers, choosing to let in-demand rifles remain overseas or abroad, and importing some morphadites. Tikka T3 Sporter, the pumpkin colored, laminated stock gun, comes to mind first.

Holy schidt it's threaded!!!!

Can't believe any of you guys would want one with factory threads on the end....

What if they aren't completely concentric with the bore?

Why would anyone want a threaded barrel on such a light gun?

.22's are already so quiet, why would you want to add the weight of a can?

Are there any 34mm rings available?

(1) - Because I'm lazy. I like shooting all of the squirrels I want to shoot (generally 2 or 3) all from one sit... Eley Subsonic HP's or GemTech Subsonics... Not Hollywood "mouse fart" quiet. But quiet enough that they don't generally scare the other squirrels out of a tree.

(2) - Shooting a suppressed .22 rifle is an excellent way to start new shooters.

(3) - It's fun...

Hmmmm, I really don't NEED another .22 rimfire. I have two CZs, two RARs and a 10/22 that's pretty decent as-is (DSP with some nice things added), and a raft of others that have sentimental value.

What the hell would I do with another one??

It's a good thing I live only a couple hours from Whittaker's, so I can ride down there when they come in, and paw through them, to see if one calls my name.

Dammit.

I wonder if this gun will be most accurate with match ammo or the high velocity rimfire ammo.

Only the gun can answer that question every individual rimfire rifle is a law unto itself.

Most rifles shoot their absolute best with standard velocity stuff but I have seen some that shot HV ammo darned accurately- even CCI Stingers (which rarely shoot accurately in most guns).

Saw these at Shot today. Same inlet top and bottom as T3x. Bolt knob has an allen screw through it so will change out easily. 17hmr as well. Should be a great platform! Holding out for stainless.

Is the action length the same as the T-3 ? iIt is hard to tell from the pics, if so that is a lot of action length for a rimfire.

The action continues along under the shank of the bbl in order to utilize the front action screw. Action is as short as any other .22lr.

The action on the rifle shown in the press pics is CONSIDERABLY shorter than a T3x action. In fact ,the action looks to be the same length as a Finnfire or Quad. Which makes sense being they are rimfires.

But ,as Higbean mentioned, there is an extension to the front reciever ring that continues under the barrel to allow the short rimfire action to use the standard Tikka T3X action inlet...See pic below-

Someone asked them about a stainless version at shot show and the Tikka reps said they had no plans for a stainless version.

I put a deposit on a 22 LR. Nothing to do now except wait.

I see that they are down to 109.
