Same here, thats what I was told.
I wanted to make sure I was giving correct information so I double checked. I just got off the phone with the tech dept at Beretta USA and they confirmed. They are regular steel and not stainless.

Nice, looks like a stock pack is in order though to get proper weld with that scope. Have you shot it prone?

Not much prone. But I have put a few rounds through it...

I called Beretta a few months ago and the CS rep told me they were steel. But I didn’t trust the information so I went to a local shop and removed the brake on three rifles. Absolutely stainless. Go check them out and I think you’ll find they’re stainless, unless they’re putting out a mix of them. My local scheels has a pile of them. @LightFoot, if you ever want to sell that rugged ridge rear rest at a reasonable price I’m interested! Real nice buck!!

I’m debating buying one but this is the issue I am running into as well, getting mixed info that the material is steel from some people and stainless from others. Where I am located, I don’t have the luxury of putting eyes on one without ordering online. If it’s stainless and cerakote that would be best and that’s what I’d spend the 1200$ on. Tikka is hard to get in contact with as you all know lol. Might just go with the t3x lite stainless. Thank you all

I have one, as does my hunting buddy. He once looked up that it was stainless and sent me a picture, but I can’t seem to find it now. The cerakote color is not “stainless” it’s desert verde for the alpine and midnight bronze for the wide land. So not sure why a previous poster was saying that.

I still love this thing…
UM rings and hunter’s rail.
This rifle is just as good as my custom rifles at less than 1/2 the cost. Only limitation is the magazine and twist but 185 bergers will get the job done on anything up to 600.
