Just figured I would get this up tikka. Has a new improved series the t3x lite. Has some pretty cool new features. Upgraded bolt shroud. Modifiable grip, new recoil pad. Check them out. I don't see any sitting at my wholesalers yet but they should be around soon.

Cool gun, Carp. I'm jealous.

Oh I'm jealous to! LOL
I cant wait to get my paws on one. Some of the new features are upgrades that a lot of guys do to the plain lite already. New but pad, replace the cheap plastic bolt shroud. ETC. Looks like it's a little lighter then the standard lite. Not much according to my wholesalers specs. 1/10-2/10 of a pound.
Plus the new sight mounting options will be nice as well.
I am probably going to snag one in 25-06 when I can. Add it to the heard of tikka's :chuckle:

I really wish they would upgrade their detachable magazines. The cheap plastic and weak springs make them noisy and prone to fail in a short time. Other than that I love my T3. I've had it for about 6 years now in 300WSM and have killed a bear, 5 deer, and 5 elk with it. It's a great gun but the quality of the magazine just drives me batty!
