Sportsman's Warehouse has their exclusive T3x Superlite on sale. What is the twist rate on the 223 and 243? I cannot find that information on the web site.

Looks like the stainless superlites are being phased out in favor of a newer style.
Looks like the same rifle in a new “wrapping”...bold new graphics.

Ed,
This is pure speculation on my part bud.
I'll give you my logic....if you go to Sportsman's Warehouse site, you'll see the "older" style of stainless/fluted T3Xs that were a Sportsman's exclusive are on "sale" as per the original post speculation. If you look, the price ends in ".97" which generally indicates an item being closed out.
Concurrent to that, a model not previously shown has been added to the their site within the last few days. It has a green stock with some black inserts, and is also fluted. I THINK it's a stainless barreled action with a black cerakote-type action. It shows "out of stock". Since they weren't even available a week ago, it's unlikely they have sold out already. More likely, it's the "new" model being phased in. I put the quotes around "new" because it's just window-dressing as far as I can tell, with no sustentative changes beyond appearances.
Again, pure speculation on my part but I'm reasonably confident I'm right in all of this. If not,....well, you get what you pay for and my opinion was free.
Dave
p.s. If they ARE eliminating the stainless part of their exclusive gun...it's a step in the wrong direction imho. If it's stainless with a coating of some sort...okay. Unnecessary, but not a serious detraction in any way.

A cerecote ss Tikka would be very tempting for a saltwater based hunts. The more plastic the better. The salt is killing my Kimbers.

It is a blued superlite. Just talked to a buddy of mine who is a rep for Tikka. They are coming out with some other superlites in 2020 as well but I was sworn to secrecy for now. LOL
You ain't about that life.

If you want one, I suggest you hurry! My local Sportsman's had 5 on the rack and I had to ask them to check in the back for the 223 that showed in inventory- they only had one. I have been waiting for a sale and grabbed it. I mounted a SWFA 10x mil/mil I purchased on BF, and mounted the scope in Sport Match rings. The scope is a little big for the rifle but I want to try dialing a FFP scope, a first for me. If I want a lighter setup, I need new rings, but I have a Burris 3x9 E1 sitting unused in the safe. Now to see if she likes 69, 75, or 77 grain bullets. FYI, Beretta USA has un-packaged 223 mags on sale. If you use "GIFT35" you get an additional 35% off the sale price. Orders over $50 ship free. I grabbed two and got the free shipping. Can't wait to try her out!
