Do Tikka rifles still exist where you live?

[FirstFreedom]

They are extinct here. There are only "Beretta" T3s now.

[USNairman]

Yeah there are a few local shops around here that still have the Tikka T3's in stock. Going price for them is $690 here, though I haven't paid that for one yet.

[FirstFreedom]

Well, no what I mean is, there are Tikkas here - but they aren't called "Tikkas"; they are labeled Beretta.

[USNairman]

I knew what you were saying. Here they are still labeled as Tikkas. I have not seen any of them with the Beretta name on them yet. Has the price increased on them with the new name change?

[USNairman]

Intersting is that the Beretta website is still listing them as Tikka.

Tikka are excellent rifles especially now that Beretta has taken over. I am a long fan of Beretta and know that the Tikkas are GREAT. Let me tell you that before you go spend $690 at your local gun store you can go on gunbroker.com through Budsgunshop and buy one for $475. I hope that I made the right choice buy getting the new Remington 700 SPS over the Tikka T3. I just found a liitle better results through forums on the 700 SPS.

Yep, the local Gander Mtn. here still has Tikkas labeled and marked as such.

[USNairman]

I would imagine (though I am not certain) that Sako is still manufacturing Tikka's and that Beretta has just slapped their name on them,. I know my new Tikka had Beretta on the box but was manufactured by Sako in Finland.

Also, you aren't going to buy the Tikka T3 "Hunter" from Bud's for $450. I paid $530 to get it to my local FFL and then another $15 in FFL fees.

I am a guy who owns Remington, CZ, Ruger, and Savage and I can honestly say that my Tikka's are, in my opinion, a much nicer rifle. Though the CZ is my second favorite and dang near as nice as the Tikka. Remingtons were a nice rifle 20 years ago but they sure don't tickle my fancy now days. Of course these are just my views and everyone else are sure to vary.

JBird- Don't worry about your SPS, it will shoot. I have a 700VLS in .308 and it shoots cloverleafs at 100 yards with a Leupold 3X9X40 and no other modifications.

[Dannyboy303]

Tikka is owned by the U.S now?

[dirty habit]

Yep, theyre still Tikkas down under

[essexcounty]

Haven't bought one in a couple of years. Mine are Tikka's. If the product hasn't been cheapened the Berreta roll stamp wouldn't bother me in the least. Essex
