TIKKA T3X STAINLESS LITE CHEAPER THAN STAINLESS SUPERLITE

[55stone]

Anyone have any idea why the T3X stainless superlite with the fluted barrel is cheaper than the regular stainless lite model? At least at sportsman's warehouse, there $50 bucks cheaper. Would you guys prefer the superlite over the lite? think the accuracy will be the same, i know they both have the 1 MOA guarantee. Just wondering your guys thoughts. Think i have finally been convinced to buy a Tikka and looking at these 2 models, well and just the regular lite since its cheaper. Thanks guys

I was wondering the same thing a couple weeks ago. Curious for the responses.

Is the barrel shorter on the super light? I'm thinking about selling my Tikka T3 stainless light in 270 Win. Either sell it or convert to 6mm Creed. I also have a Sako A7 in 270 Win.

The superlites were a sportsmans exclusive and because they order and sell more superlites the price from the wholesaler is better so theres more margin to play with.

go ahead and explain why cabelas sells the t3x superlite for $929 when all it has over the sportsman's warehouse version is a silly camo stock

its called profit margin -- sell lots at a cheap price and you'll often make more profit than if you see fewer at a higher mark up --a-la-walmart !
