Are new "Valmet"-type {Tikka or the Italian made guns} being sold in the USA?

The new version of the old Valmet 412, Tikka 512 is called the "Finnclassic".

I have one in 9.3x74R U/O.

Second hand ones appear occasionally on the gun selling sites.

Chapuis and Merkels in 9.3x74R are a lot cheaper than big bores in calibres from .375 and up, so they are worth looking at. In Australia they can be found starting around A$5,000.
