Is 426 dollars a good deal? This onehas blued metal in a standard caliber.

Around here they are running right around $520. So that would be a pretty good price indeed.

I have a T3 Stainless Lite in 300 WSM that was $608 with taxes and all. I dont remember the actual price of the gun itself.

I think my buddy said he just paid 440 for his T3 Lite in 25-06.

It sounds like a pretty good deal, but is that for an over the counter sale, or are you seeing that price online?

If online, many sellers on the big gun sites are inflating the shipping, handling, and "insurance" prices to cover the difference so their price looks cheaper, but you end up paying the same. It's common to see shipping prices quoted at $40 - $60 or more, plus insurance is extra!

Then there's the question of what you FFL transfer dealer will charge you for recieving the firearm. The one I use charges $30, so that needs to be factored in to the price.

429 dollars +12.99 dollars shipping and my FFL charges 25 dollars. It is brand new in the box

Your getting a great deal for a new Tikka. What are the choices for calibers? Where did you find this at? I might look into a new one for that price.

Only one choice for caliber 30-06. That homely cartridge that no one thinks is good anymore.

Well at least you’ll take full advantage of that long action...

Isn't that the truth.
