    Pretty much can't buy one new now. Beretta NZ are considering doing another run.

    Thanks!

    Was expected but thought I'd check. Was hoping abit faster to try build a sub shooter. Then again, any excuse to own a 308 regardless is a good one!

    My 16" T3 shoots 190gn Sub-X very well.

    If you could find a cheap second hand tikka probably only work out a couple of hundred dollars more to rebarrel it to a faster twist.

    Correct. We have just finished taking store orders for another run early next year for 16” .223 and 308. This time with a standard profile barrel and an enlarged bolt knob

    I'm sure they will sell well. It's what the people want.
