Beretta Tikka T3 Wood Stock

[tspence]

I purchased a used Tikka 243 cal in 99% condition. As with most used firearms I purchase, I disassemble the firearm to further examine the inside area. I noticed the inside of the stock appeared to be light colored birch instead of walnut as advertised on Tikka's website. The wood was also softer than most walnut that I have seen and used. Does anyone have any expertise inregard to the Tikka T3. Thanks

Looking at their website it does in fact say walnut. I've owned one wood stocked Tikka T-3 and another with synthetic. Mine was not walnut either. Didn't think it was supposed to be. Got to wonder if the website is in error, or if specs have changed and newer guns are in fact walnut.
