Anybody ever seen a Tikka M55 in Stainless Steel?
|
An interesting looking Stainless Tikka M55 in 223 has surfaced on one of the Canadian boards. Has anyone ever seen a M55 with a stainless receiver and barrel? It is a six digit serial number,so it might be one made after the Sako take over.

G'Day Fella's,
To the best of my knowledge, Tikka M55 receivers were never made in stainless steel?
Also, I think Tikka were making another model (the 590?) when Sako took them over but I could be wrong there!

Hmmm... I've never heard of a stainless M55 either.
And no reference in any of the Euro spec catalogues I have:
A 1979 Tikka Catalogue, from back when they were a serious competitor to Sako...
