Description
The Tikka T3x Super Lite Stainless is the T3x stripped down for hunters who walk a long way. Tikka took the weight off where it could, most visibly with a fluted stainless barrel that carries lighter, sheds heat faster and balances well. The matte stainless finish keeps the rifle looking good after hard trips.
We stock it in 13 calibres, from .222 Rem to 7mm PRC, with 570–620 mm barrels and a weight of around 2.8–3.0 kg in most calibres. An optional recoil pad and spacer system lets you adjust the length of pull, and threaded muzzles are available on selected variants.
Key Features
- Fluted stainless barrel – saves weight, dissipates heat faster, improves balance, and resists rust.
- Cold hammer forged – accurate from the first shot, with no break-in needed.
- Lightweight synthetic stock – light but solid, with an optional recoil pad and spacer system to adjust length of pull.
- Matt stainless finish – stays looking new after hard hunts.
- Rigid T3x action – hardened steel receiver and two-lug bolt with plunger ejector and removable handle.
- Short 70° bolt lift – room to work the bolt under a scope.
- Tight-tolerance trigger – short lock time for a predictable break.
- Threaded muzzle option – selected variants come threaded M15x1 for a muzzle brake.
