KRG Whiskey 3 Pro (just announced)

Tikka

What I am seeing (or not seeing) on the Tikka offering:

- Very small bag rider area (I'm sure the aftermarket will solve this)

- No rear frame to add rigidity (wobble in buttstock is very bad)

- No buttpad tilt/cant

Very long trigger reach, thumbshelf bit appears to be a token offering.

- If they were serious, AICS should be offered. Even Bergara realises this.

- They could have offered an actual MDT stock like many other manufacturers are doing (Savage, Bergara, Howa). But no, the Beretta way is everything has to be proprietary.


A UK dealer seems to think they will be £1,550 which explains a lot (less than the TAC A1)... https://www.livens.co.uk/product/tikka-t3x-ace-target/

The Whiskey 3 Pro and ACC Elite are both over $3000 in NZ, or atleast the W3P will be. The AT-X AICS chassis is a $3500 NZD chassis and doesn't have a connector bar.
Tikka already have a bag rider accessory for it and have said more accessories are on the way, I imagine AICS mag well is high on that list.

That UK website you posted suggests it's going to be similar priced to a CTR, if that's true then these will be an awesome deal.
