Re: Tikka T3 RCS II review
1. The delays on the RCS II project are well documented and where caused by unreliable machine operators and plastics manufacturers who didn't produce what they promised. I have appologised for this on numerouse occasions publicly and have worked my balls of to change the situation.
2. RCS II stocks became available around November 2011.Short caliber T3 stocks, Howa 1500 Short Action stocks where the first and have been now available for about 6 months with varying degree of wait time depending on how soon we could finish and assemble batches.
3. Customers waited just as lond for the first RCS II short cal T3's and it casued some complaining, which was fully understandable. These came customers have however been absolutely delighted withe the end product and we have had tons of messages back about the wait bieng well worth it and subsequent orders have followed.
4. RCS II long caliber T3 stocks have taken longer to get finished because of the issues with the length of the AICS magazines and the T3 feed port. Hence our deciding on a different magazine.
5. New products often take longer to market than was originaly intended or expected, ( take the case of the 3-20x50 Schmidt & Bender PMII for instance or the JAE-700 stock) But it is better to take time to get the product right than to market a half hearted attempt
6. The Long T3 version is almost ready with parts of the chassis waiting to be anodised right now.
7. As soon as all the required parts are in house we will begin assembly and start shipping the long cal T3 RCS II's out to customers who are waiting.
8. There are 12 pre orders for long caliber T3 RCSII stocks. These vary in length of waiting time.
9. This project has been a goers since Nov 2011 and it took far longer than I ever expected and I can only appologise for that, but it is now a goer and availability is increasing on the models already in production, the long T3 version is the next in line for release and more models will follow.
10. You complain i don't answer your emails, then you say ive been giving you the same answer for a year? which is it? The answer is as soon as humanly possible, and that means not long now, but a definate day I cannot provide you with.
11. when ordering the customer has a choice of method of payment. the card company take payment upon order, they pay us 60 days later. by bank transfer the time frame of payment is entirely up to the customer.
12. I fully appreciate your frustration about waiting, I am no less frustrated my self, so please accept my appologies for your frustration. I can only tell you that we are working hard on these stocks, we invested a lot of time and money this year to up production and ensure future production and the benefits of that investment are just starting to be shown. I can assure you that you will be absolutely delighted with the finished product and will not be waiting all that much longer.
