This question is specifically directed to those outside the USA.

I am trying to get a Tikka T3 Varmint for evaluation/ownership in 6.5x55 Swede. Berretta USA will only import the .22-250, .223, and .308. The last thing I need is ANOTHER .308 rifle.

So, I am looking to import a 6.5x55 or perhaps one of the others (.243, 7mm08, 300 WSM, etc.) If someone has access to a T3 in all the calibers and might be willing to help me import one, please let me know.

thanks

Heh Mel,

a mate of mine has just bought a T3....in .308 :roll: ......But I'll do some checking tomorrow and see about the regulations for shipping to......Montana?.....and the local price and availability

Will post when I have the info'

Kiwi,

thanks for checking into this.

Yes, Montana, USA.

I've also thought about just getting a .308, and when done with eval, rebarreling it in another caliber... but I'd prefer NOT to do that.

Mel,
I to have been looking for a 6.5x55 T3, and like you say, they arent around. If you find some way of getting one, could you PM me because thats pretty much what i have my mind on. I talked to a dealer yesterday that said he could get me the T3 hunter with the wood stock in 6.5, but i had to turn him down as of right now since i want synthetic and am on a budget.
Thanks
Chris

Yeah, the problem is that Berretta USA only imports .223, .22-250 and .308. A reader has found a dealer in Australia that will export one for me here in the USA, but the cost is about $1200, and thats not worth it. I'm still thinking of buying a .308 and rebarreling it after the review is done.
