The Beretta rep just stopped by the store and I got my first peek at the T3 Tac in the 2004 New Product Catalog.
Picture this:
The stock looks like a T3 Lite black synthetic stock with a wide, flat beavertail forearm and an adjustable cheekpiece similar to that on a McMillan A4. 20" phosphatized (matte black) heavy barrel, threaded for a brake or silencer, thread protector included. Black, Teflon-coated bolt with a 60-degree throw. Quick-adjustable LOP with slotted inserts. Swivel stud on the forearm, and 4 more on the buttstock. 6-round detachable magazine in .223. The .308 mag is 5-round. Integral picatinny rail on the action. No weight spec list, but I would guesstimate in the 8 lbs range, if even that heavy. Didn’t check on the muzzle, but I’d assume an 11-degree crown like the rest of the Tikka line.
Looks absolutely beautiful. Confirmed my order on the spot. Now, the waiting begins.
