Has anyone heard of the new t3 for 2005? :lol:

From what I understand, there will be more calibers offered in certain current T3 models. Of potentially great interest is that the Battue model will be available to the US market for 2005. Personally, I'm not too crazy about the Battue, but I know that there are quite a few people out there that really like it.

read somewhere they were going to make lefthand any truth to the rumor

It's not a question of truth, but rather of when. From what I understand, yes, Tikka will make a left handed T3, but one one is certain exactly when. I know that Tikka had WHs in lefties, so a leftie in a T3 is logical.

Any plans for a T3 model in the .204 Ruger?

None yet. Tikka (or Beretta actually) is kinda conservative when it comes to cartridges. They are presumably not going to chamber a rifle in this cartridge until it becomes tried and true for a while. With the exception of the .300WSM and the .270WSM, which already have a following of sorts, virtually all other rifles sold in the US are chambered in tried and true cartridges, like .243, .25-06, 7mm-08, .270, .308, .30-06, .7mm Rem Mag, .300 WM, .338 WM, etc.

Hi Zachary! Upon looking at the Tikka-Sako website I'm a little [no! alot disappointed] that they are not offering any T3's in the left hand persuasion...maybe they want the first run out to test the market?? They really don't have to do they? They're being gobbled up like popcorn. Cheers!
