It should be public early this week - so just hang in there and you should know soon.
As far as ETA. Current ETA is (you guys are not going to like this). April/May.

As long as that's April /may 2018.... Gives us time to save a few coins

Because there is a huge backlog for production. The whole world wants them. Ours are not scheduled to even be manufactured till March.

Probably should not go into numbers sorry. More will come after the first shipment though - so supply should equalize at some point.

Wouldn’t it be nice to have the first run production stainless steel model in New Zealand to trail before the rest of the world then I would order one today.

It looks like a mosin and is mostly made of mosin parts buts its a finnish m24 lottas rifle.
Finland was a reluctant territory of Russia and had no army just a home guard to defend it from the Bolsheviks after the revolution. Captured rifles were all they had.
The homeguard set up machine shops to make good rifles out of spares with barrels bought by the finnish equivalent of the CWI.
SAKO is an abbreviation of Finnish Civil Guard engineering workshops.
Later on they went on to make them from scratch and Tikka started as a barrel maker, and they are way better than the russian made ones.
As an aside in WW2 we were technically at war with Finland as they were at war with our ally the USSR, who incidently had the snot beaten out of them.

27 million Russians dead . . they took a beating . . and smahed the German army all the way back to Berlin

New Tikka rimfire boys!

We do have the ideal environment cold/wet/high humidity and hot/dry/dusty/sandy and the very high volume shooters shooting in the field at both static and live targets to thoroughly test a rimfire.....perhaps not the extreme cold but I dunno if there would be a great deal of demand for a 22 to hunt polar bear or penguin.

Think he might be referring to the fact that the Finns gave the Russkis a run for there money ...

Screw all this synthetic stainless talk, the worlds over run with plastic and shiny. Its a rimfire not a drag around the mountain in the rain rifle. Give me a nice deep rich blue and quality piece of walnut any day.

So the GM of Beretta NZ has called me and we had a good chat (I did appologise for the tone of my initial remarks).

He will investigate the specifics and get back to me.

Well done Beretta - That sort of followup with a customer (only a potential one at that) is pretty good.

Be interesting to see where it ends.

For what its worth I think the T1x platform is going to go gangbusters. The fact that it will fit any existing t3x stock means one can keep an eye open for a (used?)wooden stock in the configuration of choice

Hi @ChrisW its good to have you on the forum specially with your role on record. I know we wont always get the answers we want to hear and there will be stuff you're not at liberty to say. Im also sure you'll get some good feedback too. But if you're keen there will be plenty of interest in what you have to say, specially perhaps by private messaging.

By the way thanks for sponsoring the hihitahi challenge for several years.
