I recently went into a couple of local gun stores and asked about the availability of the Tikka T3x Tac A1 in 223. They are not inexpensive and, it seems, they aren't readily available either. I've seen some articles online about them being introduced at the 2018 Shot Show, but when the shops checked with their distributors, nobody had one. I think that'd be a lot of fun to play with. Does anyone here have one?
I called my local store as well after reading your post HardCase. My local shop cannot get there hands on the Tikka Tac A1, either. Not sure why to be honest unless there are some importing issues.
