No, but my mate had a demo .223 last week and returned it the next day. Still waiting for a replacement.

Yep, I have a Tikka T3x CTR in .308 PB—solid rifle, great accuracy, and smooth action.

What is .308PB? I assumed he was talking about the Celik Arms Chimera PB308 rifle.

Yes, the PB223 and PB308 are a push button on the left side of the forend under your thumb. You can run them extraordinarily fast with a little bit of practice.

Thanks for that Mate, another possible (maybe here in Aus ?). I haven't / hadn't even thought of Tikka making PB's.
After owning a very late Friday afternoon made Tikka,,,, I swore I'd never touch another one.
Maybe,,,,,,,, just maybe,,,,,, I may be forced to have second thoughts. :lol:

You're probably referring to the Verney-Carron Speedline rifles.
Great piece of kit.
