SC the forend is large and grip large if you have small hands you will not like it, ordered another the quality is a big step up
form the old B&C stocks.
And $300 shipped with no wait is huge and LH.
Jeff I am culling and have a total loss of 2 this year, so there!

Would love a LH SS Varmint but Canada import would be about the only way to get one

Ok, im in for the CZ 223 or the 17HMR. They'd be more warm and comefortable down here in the lower 48.

Tikka will have a custom area on their website where you can build any rifle they offer and have it brought to the US through Beretta. Sako is already doing it and Tikka is following suit.
There are 2 rules to success:
1. Never tell everything that you know.

Check their website. I think you can build your rifle there now.

I have a T3X in 6.5 CM that I'm having threaded for a suppressor and putting a picatinny rail on it so I can swap between a conventional scope and thermal. With the 5 rd mags, it should make a nice hog gun.

Yes scope arrived. Everyone seems to really like those Tikka. Most likely they shoot well bexause they sure are talked up a good deal. Ive gotten into more of the controlled feed and classic style rifles as i hit my 40's but maybe i should sell a levergun and pick up a Ruger American but its difficult to find the need or spot for it.
