Default Tikka in 7x64

I was browsing the Tikka website recently, hoping they offered something in .280 While they do not, I noticed that they do offer models in 7x64 (for all practical intents and purposes identical to the .280 Remington). Has anyone ever seen one of these here ? Or with it being a European caliber, does Stoeger typically not import this one to North america ?

IIRC Leo just sold an older Sako in 7x64
I shot one that Oldbadger used to own and it was a cool round
Nothing nsgical mind you , just not many of them around.
Chuck may own one as well , can't remember exactly .

I had one a few years back, manufactured by Voere. Bought it off Roger when he owned Shooters Choice ....... traded it in a fit of madness

It may have in fact been Voere that Leo owned !

I have a mid 90's Sako hunter in 7X64. Use it some, love the 'older' sakos. Have same in 6.5x55, now if I could find in 9.3X62....

There's a Sako on CGN in a 9.3X62. Think the guy wants $2000 for it. If it was a Mannlicher, I would have been interested at that price.

I had a Brno 600 in 7x64 a few years ago, and a bunch of S&B ammo.

Nice round and something you don't see often.

Stoeger might order a Tikka or a Sako in 7x64 for you.

I handled a Sako Bavarian Carbine in 7x64, but the cost of cases convinced me to purchase a 6.5x55 instead.

Looks like Prophet River still has a Sako Bavarian in 7x64, been there a while now.
