    Which models does Tikka export to the US?

    The T3 Lite is readily available in a variety of calibers the varmints and tactical models are limited to 308, 260 and 223 I think. EuroOptic is a great place to shop for and purchase a Tikka give them a call they are very knowledgeable about the Finnish jewels.

    No more motorcycles for me

    I’ve had three Harley's, ridden for 20+ years; thank goodness I’ve never gone down on one it’s become just too dangerous out there. Sold the last one about a year ago to help fund College for my son and at my age I would never heal from that.

    Rifle Scopes Which height TPS Rings for Tikka Scout

    A few weeks ago I purchased a Tikka T3 Scout CTR .223 w/1:8 twist. Its only purpose is to just enjoy at the range and I plan to put a SWFA SS 10x42 scope and TPS Rings on it which I would like to purchase this week. If you’re familiar with the Scout you know it has a factory picatinny rail on...

    As I understand it Beretta USA is not known for their customer service or communication with the public regarding the Sako/Tikka firearms... Only time will tell I guess

    Thanks to Capt. Ramrod I scored this Tikka Scout and picked it up from the seller today the rifle is in like new condition. I've got a spare 3x9-40 Nikon I'll try to get on it this week and may get out to the range weather permitting.

    I have a spare Nikon ProStaff 3-9x40 I was going to throw on it initially but was also looking at getting a fixed power Bushnell Elite 10x40; for a $200 scope it gets great reviews.

    Remington 5R .223

    You are correct on the current batch of Tikka's twist rate being 1:10. I searched for a couple of months calling and emailing all of the usual purveyors looking for the 1:8 but was told none to be had, then I spoke with the guys at EuroOptic they said the .223 with 1:8 is on order and should...

    Capt. Ramrod, you are correct this is nothing more than a 100 >> 200 yard afternoon at the range paper puncher fun gun for my 19 year old son and I to enjoy; so the caliber .308 vs .223 I'm not sure how important that should be. From the information I've gathered in this post the barrel contour...

    Great find... Thank you... I set up an account and contacted the seller as I had a couple of questions still waiting to hear back...

    First a big thank you to everyone on this forum that contribute your advice and knowledge while refraining from negative and condescending remarks even though all of us newbies ask a lot of the same questions. -- I called and spoke with the guys at EuroOptic a couple of weeks ago regarding the...

    That’s a shame about the 223 twist rate which I initially would have purchased. I shoot out a Camp Bullis and it seems a lot of shooters have access to the heavier 223 rounds. I do keep a few boxes of the Black Hills 77 grain SMK on hand although at $1:00 per round I don’t shoot a lot of them...
