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.

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.

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



.308 PB rifle" typically refers to a rifle chambered in .308 Winchester, which is a popular caliber for hunting, target shooting, and tactical use. The "PB" could refer to a specific model, brand, or feature related to the rifle, but it's not a standard industry term for a specific type of rifle. It might also be an abbreviation or shorthand used by certain gun enthusiasts or manufacturers.

After the elapsed time since your post,, in your case the "P" would undoubtedly stand for POPULAR, which does indicate .308 in a way.
However the rest of what you say equates to pretty non sensical.

No149er and Alex Jones,,,,,
Yeah, spot on the money regarding the Verney Carron.
After much research and thought processes,,,,

I will have the pleasure of paying for a brand new Speedline 308 in the morning,, then wait for the PTA. :D
