4570ForeverTikka T3 SS/SYN or SS/Laminated
This spring I purchased a T3 SS/Syn in 6.5x55 Swede on "GunBroker" at a good price, now I've got the "hots" for one in 9.3x62, which is listed on the Sako/Tikka web site. BUT according to Beretta Customer Support "this caliber 9.3 x 62, T3, . . . is not currently imported into the U.S." and "No special orders".
So how does one get one if the National distributor, Beretta, doesn't import or allow special orders?
Open to suggestions, cussins, discussins.
Thanks

Look in the Elwood Epps web site in Ontario. I believe they have this rifle, then you just have to get a USA FFL guy that does transfers between Canada and the USA. I think the cost is around $150.00. FS

Cliff LyleOtherwise, you will be forced to rebarrel yours as i am doing mine. I'm going to change a 243 to a 257 Roberts.

4570ForeverThanks for all the info.. I'll take a look at Epps but $150.00 is a lot just to cross a border.
As for Rebbling, I don't intend to give up the 6.5 just add a 9.3x62. Then I'd have a 2 gun SS/SYN, SS/Laminate battery that would cover damn near everything in the U.S. and most of the world.
