| When it comes to accuracy, the Tikka T3
Tactical is in a class of its own. The free-floating barrel is made of
match-grade Cr-Mo steel, and manufactured by a precision cold-hammer
forging process by Sako craftsmen. The action and the barrel surfaces
are Manganese-phosphatized for lasting protection against the elements
and wear. The barrel features protected muzzle threading, providing
attachment for optional Sako muzzle brake or suppressor assembly.
The modern bolt has two front locking
lugs and a spring-loaded reliable operation. The Teflon coating on the
bolt ensures a non-reflecting surface and a smooth bolt throw. The 2-way
safety behind the bolt handle locks both the bolt and the trigger. The
trigger unit is adjustable with a hand-honed sear/trigger - without
creep. A single set trigger is optional.
The Picatinny rail on top of the action
takes any Weaver or U.S. Mil.Std 1913 compatible mounts. New phospatized
Tikka Optilock bases and rings are recommended for maximum accuracy and
ease of use.
The detachable straight-feeding single
column magazine is silent, durable and non-rusting. The standard 5-round
magazines are tailored to each caliber for ultimate reliability and
performance.
The stock is made of fiberglass
reinforced copolymer polypropylene and features an ambidextrous palm
swell. The wide fore-end has a swivel stud to take a bipod. The three
sides of the stock are fitted with inserts which allow the use of heavy
duty hook-type sling swivels. The recoil pad is of black rubber and the
length of pull may be adjusted with spacers. The cheek piece is
adjustable at 5 mm intervals, up to 25 mm (1”).
Scope, scope mounts, bipod, muzzle brake
and extra large bolt handles are optional, as well as are adjustable
open sights and fore- and rear-stock fastened military type heavy duty
sling studs for hook-type swivels.
