Default Tikka T3 Hunter Stainless - Do they still make it?

I am looking at maybe buying a Tikka T3 Hunter Stainless or a Laminate Stainless, but my local gun shop says they cannot find the information on them. They are listed on Tikka's Finland web site, but not on Beretta USA's. Does anybody here know if they still import either of these guns? I have found a couple on GunBroker in laminate, but non in the Hunter Stainless and that is really what I am looking for in a 300 Win Mag. If anybody has the Tikka Modal number for either of these that would be great.

Thanks
BJ

After looking, it seems that a lot of the stainless models are out of stock. I would call Beretta or a major supplier and see what they say.

O.K. - I went to Berettas website and came across this page:

http://www.berettausa.com/product/product_rifles_main.htm

After you get here, on the left click on t3 lite stainless, at the bottom you can search for retailers selling the rifle you want.

Beretta does not have the rifle I am looking for listed on their site. The rifle I am looking for is either one of this two below. I really want one in stainless, but I am not a fan of synthetic stocks.

No, the hunter stainless and laminate stainless is not available unless you just luck upon one left over on someone inventory.

If this is true why did Scheels in Montana get a shipment in right before hunting season started.
Yes it is now longer on the Beretta web site, But you will find them on . http://www.tikka.fi/
What I have been told from Scheels is yes Beretta is trying to stop sailing the stainless hunter and the laminate stainless T3. but some dealers can still get them but I do not know if that is only for a short time.

Because Beretta, as well as other manufacturers, and national distributorswill send out lists of close out deals to their dealers. If there are some left over in theirinventory then the dealers can get them while they last. This is most likely how Scheels obtained them. Once they are gone they are gone.
