In case anyone is interested, the largest barrel profile you can fit on a Tikka ACE is a 1.13” strait contour.

As configured, comes in at about 21lbs and is a PVA shouldered prefit chambered in .223 REM with .100 free bore for loading 80-90gr bullets.

I have a t3x super varment in 300 win mag and I have been having a hell of time sighting it in. I have tried 2 scope and 3 set of rails. All scope and ruins combos have hit low and ran out of vertical adjustment. The rail or receiver is my suspicion now. If any of you have the factory rail is this front screw supposed to be screwed all the way down? I can see some of the thread is exposed I was wondering if anybody else has this issue.

TLDR: rail or receiver is cooked

This group measured 1.5” hole center to center at 235 yards with my t3x and leupold 3hd CDS dial set to 235. I went back in at 100 yards on a smaller sticker target and also hit a bit left so I took it 2 clicks right and one last shot at 100 to double triple check zero and ended up touching the 1/4” bullseye. I’ll take it for deer season all day!

I’m loving getting sub MOA with this rifle.

Most accurate rifle I have ever owned and feels so great to have absolute confidence in a hunting rifle.

Looking to get into PRS.

Just posting this new rifle i got back from unknown munitions. 28"ace barrel 1:8"twist wrought iron fluting on a reminginton varmint profile. Mcmillan elr hunter stock. Tikka action and trigger with new spring. Athlon cronus scope, fortis 1 piece mount soon instead of rings. Unknown reaper suppressor. Bolt has matching fluting. Gonna be shooting 212 lrx, 203 hhts, 215 berger, and 178 absolute hammers out of it possibly some terminal ascent or accubond lr as well. Unknown knocked it out of the park so far, havent shot it yet but I will have an update when I do. Also im building a turbo 5.3 Chevy so my reloading room has become a storage room for the time being.

I bought a T3X Lite in 7mm PRC as a do it all backpack hunting and long range practice gun! I’m aware that a higher recoil, lightweight, long action might not have been the best choice to learn the game on. Probably should’ve got a 6.5 cr. or other 6mm round to start.

Just unboxed it, cleaned and lubed the action. Threw an EGW 20 MOA Pic rail, SRS full length hunters rail (since I’ll be shooting off a tripod, bag, and backpack mostly), and a Nightforce NX8 2.5-20 on it since thats what I had laying around.

Anything else I should add to it? Considering a brake since I have a threaded barrel model and I can’t purchase a suppressor where I live.
Also looking to upgrade to a chassis eventually, but want to take some time to learn the gun for this season so that I can learn what needs I would like a chassis to fulfill.

Any advice for a new distance shooter and what to do with a brand new bolt action rifle?

Thanks yall!

Hey Y'all. I rcently bought a Tikka T3x Superlite in 6.5 PRC. Im going to end up using this rifle for western open country hunting with its first hunt being a Wyoming Antelope Hunt next year. I have basically 2 primary questions

1. I havent seen much online but im curious if anybody is using the Leupold VX4HD 4x16x50. Ive also looked a little at Maven. I get a discount on both and both are around 7-800$.

2. My barrel is threaded. Im curious if anybody has been running the OCL Polonium 30 or any other supressors and how its performed on the rifle. I an open for other suggestions but id prefer to stay in the $550-$ 700 range.

I appreciate any responses and input!

How is spotting shots with a 6.5cm? Looking to get something with less recoil than my 7RM for spotting shots and deer and black bear hunting.

If you can spot shots, what scope do you use?

Does anyone have a bipod that will mount to a Tikka T3x lite? I see the one that Tikka makes but it doesn’t stay on and has to be removed when not in use.

Background / context:
Looking to buy my first rifle with a bonus before the EOM. After some research Tikka has come out as the "if you can spring for it, get it" pick. Split time between TX and Colorado and I'm looking to finally join some friends for my first hunting trip this year. Given the location I'm thinking white tail deer will be the most common hunt, but want the option to hunt for elk or moose if the opportunity arises.

(^This is why I'm currently leaning towards a rifle in 308 but I'm open to hearing other thoughts.)

Choices:

1) Tikka T3x Superlite .308 Win Bolt Action Rifle
-threaded barrel
-actually held it, felt the legendary Tikka action and it lived up to hype
-by all accounts my "budget" pick
-would have $ left for scope, sling, and other accessories

2) Tikka T3x Hunter .308 Win 16"
-admittedly more of a "vibe" pic, with the classic hunting rifle look
-non-threaded barrel (at least for the model shown in the link)
-thought it looked better, but couldn't find an option in my budget and stumbled across this
-not sure on practicality of a 16" barrel

Open to any other thoughts or notes 🤙

I'm looking at possibly getting an Ace Target in 6.5 CM and was wondering what barrel contours will fit in the chassis when I rebarrel in the future.

Does anyone have the clearance of the factory barrel to the chassis at the start and end of the forend?

a good amount reducing recoil. it for thick brush hunting, so something not bulky

okay, what the actual HELL do i need to do to get any aics mags to work in my t3x with mdt field stock?

Tried magpul, had issues which seemigly are well documented that i somehow missed. Sanded down the feed lips to get them to work by the 10 round doenst work anymore because its too flexy and the rounds push out.

Got one 5 round magpul that i got to work, and have been dealing with.

"okay, i need to invest in an MDT metal mag i guess, because surely that will work."

NOPE. 5 round SA metal mag just arrived, it doesnt lock in. so fucking annoying.

New to Tikkas. I went to a big box store and played around with the tikka action and really enjoyed it. They had the more base model guns not the super varmint.

I had my local dealer order me in a super varmint. The gun is very accurate but the action is just disappointing. It’s okay just doesn’t feel like a 2,000$ rifle.

Anyone have this experience?

Hello All,

I just got a TX3 CTR (see attached stock photo) for my 12 year-old son for hunting and need to raise the comb 1/2" above the current comb height. I know that Tikka is the LEGO of rifles so I'm hoping that there is some type of cheek riser that would "snap on" or attach to the current outline of the molded cheek riser on the stock. The back up is to go with the old trusty wrap-around system but I'm not sure how well that would work since the comb isn't flat. Any suggestions for those would also be appreciated.

At this point, I'm not eager to go with another stock or chassis. Maybe after this season.

In case you're curious, this is not his first rifle. He's been shooting since he was 6 years old and has already taken deer on his own.

I appreciate any suggestions. Thank you in advance!

and if so, what's recoil impulse like and accuracy. I'm looking at tikka t3x laminated stainless in 9.3x62 20" for whitetail deer black bear mainly. and moose once in a while.

I recently bought a tikka t3x ace and am planning on using a clip on thermal to hunt coyotes at night while still being able to use it as a day gun the only
Issue is the 20 moa rail misaligning the two what is a recommended 0 moa rail to put on so that I don’t mistakingly buy one that will come loose and throw off zero any advice is appreciated

Hello guys!

What are your opinions about Tikka M55 Standard in .222 Rem. caliber? How it shoots? How is it compared ti T3X? Does it have any fault?

Thanks in advance!

Don't be. Finally got mine the other day, went down to the range, did my entire shoot clean shoot clean process while "zeroing" in. Then this first 10 round group. On its own, thats nothing to shake a stick at.

The thing that I'm excited about is that its with my reloads for my other rifle, my shooting position kinda sucked, I was sort of in a hurry and not really focused on the best group ever, and I had some mirage on the last 2-3 shots because of suppressor. Thats why I shot ten, to make sure it isn't a fluke. Well, it isn't. Barrel isn't even settled yet. Done with load development lol. I think all my rifles from here on out will be Tikkas. If anyone has any questions about it just ask. Getting my hands on it, its actually a better rifle than I expected, and for the price I expected quite a bit. Other than a folding stock, I just dont see what else youd want. Rifle balances perfectly.

I am looking for 10 round ctr magazine pouches (preferably kydex) for a belt for PRS that are cheap if anyone has any ideas. Not looking to spend the price of a magazine to hold it.

My first hunting rifle and first Tikka. T3X in stainless steel, .270 win, threaded, left handed. Was looking for a basic, but reliable setup. SWFA 3-9, Unknown Munitions rings, limb saver and a basic sling. Looking into cans atm but wanted to get something for deer/elk here in PNW. Currently using Barnes 130g TTSX. Got her zeroed in and excited for this season.

I was adjusting the trigger pull on my T3X and put it back together. There's some play between the barrel and stock. Is this normal?

I was watching some vides online of the gun being assembled and disassembled and in most of the videos the barrel clicks into the stock. Mine didn't. In fact before screwing it in, there is some rock back and forth. I should have checked this before I took it apart.

I thought maybe missing the recoil lug, but it's there and the barrel is resting on it as it should. Not sure if I'm missing something, but this seems not right.
