Tikka T3

The Tikka T3 is a series of bolt-action rifles manufactured by Sako under their Tikka brand in Riihimäki, Finland since 2003. The series is available in a wide variety of different sight, calibre and stock configurations as well as several barrel lengths. The rifle series was developed by Sako product development team led by Kari Kuparinen.

In 2016, the series received an overhaul and the improved models were named Tikka T3x. The main changes were an enlarged ejection port, a steel recoil lug replacing the T3's aluminium lug, and a metal bolt shroud replacing the T3's plastic. All improved parts of the T3x are backward compatible with the older T3 models.
