Title: Tikka T3 Superlite
Post by: Mossy on January 13, 2015, 08:01:53 PM: Are these still only a Cabelas and Sportsmans Warehouse deal or can I get one ordered by a dealer?

That's too bad. I guess I need to wait sportsman's opens up again here or just get another ss lite.

Thanks for the offer. I have a FFL buddy but he's on a cruise somewhere warm right now and isn't taking calls at the moment.....

I was at a Sportsman's on Sunday and wanted to look at one in a WSM caliber, but they only had two - on in 7mm Rem mag and another in 300 Winmag. Amazingly light and smooth action on those rifles, but I think the superlight is a bit too much of an upcharge over the standard Tikka T3 Lite SS for saving around 4oz's.

Post by: Mossy on January 14, 2015, 07:55:49 PM: Roger. Made some calls, things are in stock for now. I don't think an extra $20 is much of an up charge.

Post by: Skillet on January 14, 2015, 08:09:37 PM: Copy that - I may have been comparing apples to oranges, but the price difference I remember was a lot higher.

Post by: Mossy on January 14, 2015, 08:24:35 PM: Yeah I'm not sure. I'll let you know soon as long as nobody jacks my gun >:(
Title: Re: Tikka T3 Superlite
Post by: bankwalker on January 15, 2015, 12:11:36 AM: When I bought my SL a year ago from sportsman warehouse the price difference was $30 between the ss lite and superlight. Well worth it for 4oz weight loss considering it would cost triple thst to have a factory barrel fluted.

Post by: Mossy on January 18, 2015, 11:55:57 AM: Yep. Just picked it up. $20 more than cabelas wants for their lite.

That's what I bought. It'll look good next to the 30-06 ss lite
