Check out Beretta's website and go to the find a dealer page.  I think they have a state search.

Better yet, use this link.

rjk2475,

Yes, you can look at Beretta's webpage.  You can also go to www.tikka.fi  (fi stands for finland).

Another thing you may want to consider is buying a Tikka from either gunbroker.com, auctionarms.com, or gunsamerica.com.  Keep in mind that you would have to pay shipping and FFL fees, but if the price is low enough, then it might be worth it.

Tikka will be coming out with a new T3 model in a few months.  You may want to wait for it.  Or, on the other hand, once the new T3 arrives, you may get a great deal on the Whitetail hunter series.

Keep in mind that Tikka have relatively larger palm swells.  Some people like 'em, some people don't.  I particularly like 'em - I know that the Police SWAT rifles have similarly larger palm swells.

Tikka triggers are great, and bolt actions are smooth, and accuracy is 1 MOA. :grin:

BTW, I see that you are located in PA.  One of our sponsors, www.dnrsports.com, also sells rifles.  I know that they sell Sakos (which own Tikka).  I don't know where dnrsports is located, but you may want to look into it.
