Thanks guys. I checked with my local dealer and they are getting some. My contact there called Tikka about it and they too are getting the smaller calibers (.223, .243, .270) in middle April with the magnums coming later. He said after that they should be readily available for purchase and sounds like they will not go too quick (except for the likes of us smart people ).

Price he quoted me was ~$499 for the T3 stainless, synthetic and ~$599 for the laminate, stainless, both in 7mm Rem. Mag. Anyone else have better prices? This place is usually a pretty good deal although he did slip me the dealer catalog, with the wholesale prices blacked out with magic marker. Under the right light, however, I managed to read the prices. Email me if you are curious about the wholesale price the dealers are paying (probably not prudent to post here).
