I wouldn't think they are the same gun. They're two different manufacturers and each wants to sell as many of his wares as he can. Both are storied makers, so I don't see why one would want to dilute his reputation by producing a gun that's a Beretta (the world's oldest firearms maker) but is marked as a Tikka (which is not as high-end as a Sako).
I think I'll look for some images of each, and see what's what...
Found one image. The Beretta certainly does look like a Tikka. The bolt shroud and the lightened bolt handle look very Tikka-esque. The receiver looks like it has a corner on it, and the magazine looks like a Tikka magazine. Maybe Beretta has gone "Weatherby Vanguard" and is having Tikka make their guns, and then Beretta marks them as their products prior the sale to wholesalers and large dealers, et cetera...

Well I'll be jiggered! I had no idea. I'm not affected, though. All of my smokewagons are black and I assembled them from tiny parts in less than two hours. My next one is going to be a BAT action with a 26" Hart barrel attached to it.

Does anyone think a Tikka with a bolt release would be the best rifle ever?
Mine shoot great but hate unloading bullet with trigger hot.

Those guns are tikkas. If you look at the info in the description when you click on them it says so.
I think some places label tikka as beretta's because beretta USA imports them.

...not that I wanna start any rumors running around the interwebs...
or, if we start one big enough, may they'll cave in and do it!
