I have a Tikka T3 Lite stainless in .243.

Paid 1100 for it in Hilltop, but I've found it cheaper elsewhere since purchasing it.

John Lambert in Camolin (wexford) is very competitive price wise.

Got my T3 lite in 223 for E899 from Pat Clinton in Lucan.
Sports den in Navan also has them for that price, you wont get any cheaper belive me, i tried.

E899 in East Coast Dog and Gun. But are you asking about the stainless or the blued barrell? Stainless is dearer and depending on the calibre you will probably be waiting a long time for a stainless one. I tried a lot of places and found 8 weeks was the earliest I would could get one in a 30.06 stainless synt.

Cheers lads, im not too pushed wether it'l be blued or stainless once its threaded for a moderator, are both the t3 lite blued and stainless threaded? forgot to mention im looking for it in .243

E. Fudd

I know that the stainless isn't threaded. Dont know about the blued.

Maybe you can order it threaded but I paid 899 for non threaded blued barrell with synthetic stock in 30.06. not threaded. But if you want to wait an order exact spec I reckon you could be waiting a while. I originally wanted stainless barrell but the wait was too long....3 months too long :eek:

tiny in camolin just out side enniscorthy if i was going for a one rifle do a bit of every thing look at the 25.06 the 85 gr ballistic tip will turn foxes in side out and the 117 gr sst will drop the biggest of a stag if you do your bit ,john is dead sound ,

You're right there about it being factory threaded, but they are carbine versions.

Of course I shopped around... and that was the best time period I was quoted. Neither Ardee sports could get it nor GMK in the UK.. Rang around several dealers before I rang them direct !
