[QUOTE="4th_point, post: 453103, member: 13585"] andrew, I just bought one last night from Cabela's after crawling all over the web trying to get info with little success. I had to drive 2 hours to buy it, which was no problem, but wanted some more info on weight before I made the trip. I can tell you that the 5.8 lb weight claim comes from a factory sticker on the stock. I had read about the 5.8 lbs but could never figure out where this number came from. I still need to see if the rifle meets the claim. They also claim 3-shot 1MOA like the other T3 rifles. I fully expect every Tikka to shoot that well or better, but I believe a hammer forged barrel needs to be fluted after the rifling process so there might be a chance for the accuracy to be affected but I'm no rifle designer/engineer. This version has a camo stock. Haven't shot it yet, but I'll try to get some pics. I'll probably update the thread in the Backpack forum since it seems like it'll be easier to find over there. I don't think there's too much interest in mountain rifles in the main rifle forum, but I could be wrong. Jason [/QUOTE]
