OK. So I had another thread going regarding the SAKO Finnlight series of rifles. I've since been looking at the Tikka T3x Lite and Superlite rifles as well. Riddle me this . The T3x Lite 6.5CM with 22" bbl, blued steel weighs 6.5lbs. The T3x Superlite in 6.5CM with stainless fluted bbl also weighs 6.5lbs. What gives? Shouldn't the rifle with the fluted bbl be lighter? What am I missing? Does this have something to do with the metallurgical make-up of stainless vs carbon steel? Or is this an error on Tikka's website regarding the weights of these two rifles?
