Maybe this is the new scout base rifle...
It has all the right features except caliber.

Had the chance to shoot one of those once.Originally Posted by rob_s
No lie, it was pretty cool. We'd been shooting bowling pins at a friend's house and that rifle just seemed to break them to pieces.

Hmmm.....a quick glance at an ammunition table shows it in the 30-30 neighborhood at the muzzle with 180gr loads, and the option to go heavier. Given that and the available bullets, it'll never shoot as flat as modern rifle calibers, but it is a nice compact package.

If I remember right, lots of people have had trouble getting accuracy on par for hunting rifles out of pistol-caliber Rugers.

Not another dime.
EuroOptic has a .308 available.
Holding out for a 9.3.

What’s going on with the T3X Arctic? When it is going to actually hit shelves?

Get on the Euro Optic waiting list.
I've had multiple opportunities to buy one from them, just haven't done it yet.
I just can't convince myself the nice iron sights and 10 round capacity are worth ditching my Steyr for the Tikka for the role I use a Scout rifle in.

Thanks guys, I didn’t realize they were already available. It’s always show out of stock for me at euro optic and google was no luck for me. Google took me to some Canadian dealers. Knowing they’re available, I’ll be picking one of these up as soon as funds permit. If I would have known this sooner I would have held off on some other purchases in leu of this.

Problem with the Arctic is the use of ridiculously expensive proprietary Tikka magazines.
I was going for their CTR which uses the same mags, but decided to buy a cheaper T3 model and an AICS-compatible chassis, and ended up actually making a less expensive setup when you count the magazines.
