This is a very strange one, and I really want to buy that rifle, but without further clarification on some things from the seller there’s no way I’m going to send any funds here.
First, the 25-06 Rem was not offered in the US as a Superlite rifle, only the regular T3 and T3x Lite. The 25-06 Superlite is offered in a bunch of other countries throughout the world, so the rifle configuration does exist, but not in the US unless the OP brought it in or had it specially imported. AFAIK, the cheek piece riser in the pic is also not a factory option in the US.
Second, in a previous post from the OP (from this past Friday 8/10), he says that he lives in Romania (which might explain how he has a 25-06 Superlite), though in the same post he says that his only Tikka rifle is in .243 (which is unusual based on this ad) and that he had ordered another in .223 but bought a Browning rifle instead.
Third, Although the OP is listed as a Sr Member who registered in March of 2019, almost all of his posts that I can find are very recent (within the last 60 days), though he definitely seems to know what he’s talking about in some of those posts. I do not see any other sale ads in his history.
Lastly, the rifle pics posted do not clearly show the caliber stamp on the rifle in the pic, nor the box end with the cal and SN#, so it’s really not possible to know for sure that the rifle in the pics is a 25-06 Superlite.
Many folks who sell rifles, especially where questions arise from potential buyers (like me) as to the validity of what’s being sold or the legitimacy of the seller, post pics with the actual rifle being sold (including cal and sn) along with their handle name and today’s date written on paper in the pic (or provide references to sales on this board or others) so the buyers have confidence in the seller and sale itself.
Like I said, I’ll buy the rifle for the asking price if the seller can show me for certain that the rifle is an actual stainless T3x 25-06 Superlite which is in the US and the OP is legit and actually owns the rifle. I’m hoping for the best here...
HOGY, Send me some proof of life pics as noted above, and let’s have a discussion to clarify a few things, and you’ll have your sale.
Thanks,
Craig
