MrCetrizine Posted June 13, 2016 Report Share Posted June 13, 2016 It looks short. I like it but I'd like it a bit longer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shuggy Posted June 13, 2016 Report Share Posted June 13, 2016 Hmm - not the least bit influenced by the Ruger Precision Rifle then ... At a guess, I would say that may be on the carpet in the Tikka booth at Eurosatory this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baldie Posted June 14, 2016 Report Share Posted June 14, 2016 American grip, American fore end....destined for the states, and probably at a price to compete with the Ruger. The TRG mag will be its Achilles heel, if thats what it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ds1 Posted June 14, 2016 Report Share Posted June 14, 2016 Not saying that it is but it just looks "bitsa". Mag well very Rugerish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aam Posted June 14, 2016 Report Share Posted June 14, 2016 I think that picture originated from Highlandsniper58 If anyone knows him he might be able to shed some light on the rifle. I would love to know where that chassis came from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would love to know where that chassis came from. I know him fairly well Clearly so as I started the topic. I know absolutely nothing about the rifle - the photo came from a Finnish company who displayed the photo on FaceySpaceyBook yesterday. Tikka T3 rifles are extremely popular in the US, where I'm guessing this will sell well and I'm sure the US is what this is intended for primarily.

blackburnbuccaneer Posted June 14, 2016 Report Share Posted June 14, 2016 This might reassure the naysayers, picture on a Sako stand at the Eurosatory defence show, and remarkably similar carpeting in the background. http://www.armietiro.it/debutta-il-tikka-t3-tac-a1-armi-7600 Also more pictures here: https://www.facebook.com/permalink.php?story_fbid=1051316964905237&id=536939823009623 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1971silversurfer Posted June 14, 2016 Report Share Posted June 14, 2016 If they can get the price point right and offer a .223 in addition to .308 then i'm sure people, will not hesitate to buy a Tikka branded weapon possibly over the Ruger. Ruger will always have the jump on the competition - but not with .223 if others react now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tenex Posted June 14, 2016 Report Share Posted June 14, 2016 Is that 'air soft'? UN Space Corp.................."Space 1999". Sorry DW, didn't mean to hijack your thread I do like SOME black rifles, but in the main I find most of them to be a bit plasticy . I have the Tikka T3 hunter in .243Win with the wooden furniture, so when I see something like that new T3 I tend to get a bit sceptical as to its use as anything other than a fun-gun. BUT!!!! If people like those guns then I certainly have no problem with it. I have no time for shooters who can only see their own sport and would see others have their's taken off them because it isn't PC enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aam Posted June 15, 2016 Report Share Posted June 15, 2016 I can only hope that Tikka can sell the chassis only, to its customers. At present the chassis that is currently available for the Tikka is the Whiskey 3 from the US. Unfortunately demand is outstripping supply. http://www.deltatactical.com.au/for-tikka-c80/ Tikka’s have always been popular here in Australia. That rifle will sell like hot cakes down here.

baldie Posted June 15, 2016 Report Share Posted June 15, 2016 That fore end requires some form of barrel nut to attach to. A std tikka doesn't have one, and I'm betting the rifle above, does. It can be done during a re barrel, but it would need some form of ingenuity to offer it as an aftermarket stock/part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
