Why did they ever discontinue the Roughtech? Sure glad I got on that “discontinued” pricing though. Should have bought both that they had in stock (.308 and 30-06; only bought 30-06).

I guess so they could fill the void with the cheaper to build Tikkas and not miss a beat. Smart marketing but guys buying them are getting hosed.
I doubt the Roughtechs had that big a following for Sako and thats really too bad. Many didn't know the step up features from the Tikka T3 but there were lots i.e. the B&C stock, 3 lug bolt, 3 position safety, metal lipped mag that couldn't fall out of the rifle, fluted barrels, proper recoil pad, aluminum reinforced bedding in stock, proper sized actions, etc. Great rifle for $13 - 1400 that now would likely be butting up against the infinitely ugly Finnlight for price. Cant have that so "cue the lipstick on a pig Tikkas" to fill the void.
