One of the most popular firearms in the world is the Tikka T3x series. Tikka have become one of the first choices for shooters with hunting setups and custom builds often involving a Tikka T3x. There are a huge number of variants within the T3x series that span from lite hunting rifles to heavy duty tactical setups.
Popular choices here in Aus include the hunting focused T3x Lite which has an overall weight of just 2.9kg/6.6lb. The low weight combined with Tikka’s renowned reliability make it a great companion when hunting. For precision rifle shooting, the T3X Tac A1 is an extremely common choice for those looking for a target rifle with a chassis system. It offers a more refined rifle setup compared to the entry level Ruger Precision Rifle.
The attractive price point makes the Tikka T3x series an affordable rifle to start off with and offer decent accuracy, a smooth action as well as good ergonomics. For an out of the box rifle it’s a reasonably safe bet on quality.
I own one Tikka and regularly recommend the T3x series for people looking for advice on buying a rifle. The huge amount of options for target and hunting make the T3x series a great choice. There are a huge number of aftermarket parts available for the Tikka’s including chassis, bolt knobs and muzzlebrakes from. Their reliability and accuracy have earned Tikka its reputation in the shooting world.
