What is a fair price for this rifle new? A local gun store has them listed on they're website for $487.78. That seems VERY reasonable to me.

I've never really looked at Tikkas, but I always assumed they were more expensive than Savages, not less.

Here's a place to try as they seem to have very good prices:

Wow. I guess the price is rather normal. Maybe I can still convince the wife that it's the bargain of the century...

I bought a T-3 Lite in 7/08 at Gander Mtn. for $479.95. Did not come with the new Sako Opti Plex rings. Only a small selection of calibers.

At the local store same gun was $608.95!
That store is selling Savage 10 Sierras for $379.95 what few they have left.

I think you've got a good deal. Merg

That is a GOOD price, although I believe it should be the NORMAL price.
Many gunstores around here sell the T3 Lites for $600.

I got mine in like new condition for $425.

Great guns

Barutmt,

I bought a new .338 Fed T3 Blue/syn for $430 + shipping off of Gun Broker a couple months back and I bought a Stainless/syn 300WM T3 for $549 at Bass Pro a couple weeks back.

Check out Gun Broker. Buds Guns is a good store on there.

Good Luck

Thanks for the heads up. Bud has a nice store in Paris, KY.

I hope to get a T3 Lite Battue in 9,3x62 with a short 20 inch barrel next week, price 700 €

Its a SCREAMING buy; I got my 38 t3 for 530 after comparison shopping the net. Mine is VERY acurate with 200 gr ballistic silver tips but sucks with 250 gr hornadys.
DONT use the millet rings that came with it- donate to the deserving poor!

If you tell too many folks about that price, the rifle will be gone before you make up your mind!
