I'm from Canada and am looking for the T3 hunter in a stainless barrell, wood stock in a .270 wsm, not the T3 stainless w/ laminet stock. I see on the Tikka.fi site that this model is available, but the distributor here in Canada (stoegers) says that it is a special order directly from Finland, wait time between 6 months to 1 yr!
The retail outlet here in Saskatchewan think that I'll be lucky to see it before hell freezes over, as they say although it does exist, special orders directly from Tikka don't get filled easily, and in fact he has yet to see this model in Canada/US. I hope to prove them wrong.
Anyone know if the US has these? or any info on special orders from Tikka?
Don't count on a factory-direct special order in less than 6 months. More like a year. My suggetion is to search the gun auctions to see if any are popping up yet! I'll look too, and if I see anything I'll let you know.

Gpon888 I feel your pain. I have moved from England to Canada. I thought getting hold of Sako's in England was bad till I inquired into getting a Sako 85 Varmint in .243" in Canada and got the same response as you. Six months to a year. Hopeless. Boy am I glad I bought my .223" model 75 stainless laminated with me. Seems like Sako's in Canada are on a par with rocking horse faeces!
