New Tikka T3 Sporters in Stock at EuroOptic.com
Tikka has started to import its new T3 Sporter, which features an ergonomic, laminated stock, detachable magazine, adjustable cheekpiece and a nice, stiff action with integral dovetail and side bolt-release. The trigger adjusts from 2 to 4 pounds. The T3 Sporter will be produced with 20″ or 24″ barrels in a variety of popular chamberings: .222 Rem*, .223 Rem, 6.5×55 SE, .260 Rem, .308 WIN. We expect this rifle to be popular with tactical shooters and club-level match shooters who want a versatile rifle that can be used for hunting as well as target shooting. The stock is similar to the ISU “standard rifle” design used for 300m position shooting. As you’d expect, it works in all positions: prone, sitting/kneeling, and standing.
T3 Is Accurate With Smooth-Working Action
We first saw the new Tikka T3 Sporter in January, at the SHOT Show Media Day. The gun we sampled had a nice trigger, smooth bolt, and shot quite accurately with factory ammo. Watch the video below for an overview of the T3 Sporter. The Tikka T3 Sporter was developed in co-operation With Finnish hunting and sport shooting organizations. The design goal was to create a rifle that performs in competition, but can also be used for hunting. The ergonomic stock features an adjustable cheekpiece and adjustable buttplate (length of pull can be changed with spacers). An integral rail allows placement of hand-stops, bipod mounts, and attachments so the rifle can be carried with a double-sling, biathlon style. T3 Sporter weight (without scope) is 9 lbs. with 20″ barrel, or 9.7 lbs. with 24″ barrel.

Too bad it’s only for righties.
looks alot like the old tika sporter. I almost bought one before in .308win. I was kind of sad I didn’t. Glad to see them back again.
ouch just saw the price. Old one was half that much…
I am really fighting the urge to buy one right now.
@ Matt: Welcome to Beretta as importer. Initial purchase prices go up. Replacement parts go waaay up. Just Beretta’s buisness model, too bad.
Gabe:
After reading your comment about the business model of Beretta USA I felt an overwhelming urge to google Finnish Sporter prices. And the cheapest Sporter I could find, in Finland, costs €1374/$1883, without sales tax. (The price is €1690/$2316 with sales tax).
That’s almost 200 dollars more than Euro Optic charges for a Sporter.
So, yes, price gouging seems to be the business model of the American importer.
GOOGLE the price of ANYTHING in Europe and get back to us. Its apples to oranges on that one.
I picked up a used one from Euro Optics for $1295.00 it was the only one that was used & I hope its in the condition that they say it is because I cant wait to shot it. I got a 6x20x50 begging to sit on top of it.
It is now available for lefty. Just got mine in 6.5×55 Swede.
