Tikka Twist Rates ?

[Powerstroke]

Anyone by chance know the twist rate on the T3's in 6.55 x 55 caliber ?

The Baretta sight is about the most un-user friendly......it's like they want to keep it all a secret.

Thanks

I found it, the twist is 1:8. Here's the link to this info.

Thanks Rich ! Unfortunately that leads to another question now.

That link is Tikka Finland..... if you go through the Baretta Site, about half ( ok, maybe not that many ) but some of those calibers are not offered through the Baretta sight... such as the .260 in the T3, but it is on the Finland Site....

Baretta just not updated to the 2009 models ?

That's where I ended up by clicking the following, BerettaUSA Customer Service - Technical Information - Tikka Rifle Datatables & Specifications which brought me to this web page:

After Check a few online gun buying sites, it looks like Beretta doesn't import all the models made by Sako/Tikka, or they don't export those calibers. Just my guess......

Thanks for digging in too Rich......

That is too bad. I don't currently have any Tikka-s, but certianly would't hesitate owning one in the right setup. ie... some of the models currently listed on the Finland site.

The compact .260 has my wife written all over it. Would be a great way for me to get her model 7 away from her so I could build it the way I want it :grin:

They have some good offereings in their Varmit line too.
