TIKKA T3X LT CPCT 22-250 20″ BK TB

Description

The Tikka T3X LT CPCT 22-250 20″ BK TB is a factory-built precision rig that skips the custom shop wait. Chambered in 22-250, this 20-inch barreled action wears a black TB (Threaded Barrel) and the LT CPCT stock — a lightweight, fully adjustable chassis that puts you behind the gun with zero compromise on stability. If you’re chasing coyotes at 400 yards or ringing steel on a PRS barricade, this Tikka delivers sub-MOA out of the box without blowing your season’s budget.

Key Features

• Adjustable LT CPCT Stock — Why it matters: Comb height and length of pull adjust without tools, letting you dial in cheek weld and LOP for prone, bench, or barricade positions in seconds.
• 20-inch Threaded Barrel (5/8×24) — Why it matters: Keeps the 22-250 velocity high while staying handy for suppressors or muzzle brakes, and the 1:14 twist stabilizes 50-55gr V-Max bullets for flat trajectories to 500 yards.
• Two-Stage Trigger (Single-Stage Adjustable) — Why it matters: Factory trigger breaks at a crisp 2.5 lbs after a short take-up, giving you the control to call every shot without over-travel creep.
• Steel Receiver with Integral Picatinny Rail — Why it matters: No aftermarket base needed — mount your optic directly to the receiver rail, which is bedded and torqued from the factory for repeatable zero retention.
• AICS Magazine Compatibility — Why it matters: Drops into standard AICS pattern bottom metal, so you can run 5- or 10-round metal mags that feed 22-250 reliably under recoil.

Who It’s For

This rifle is built for the shooter who wants a dedicated 22-250 rig for varmint hunting, NRL Hunter base class, or PRS Rimfire crossover practice. It’s also a solid choice for the precision enthusiast who needs a lightweight, suppressor-ready platform for walking the line between coyote stands and 600-yard steel. If you’ve been piecing together a custom Tikka build, the LT CPCT saves you the cost and hassle of buying a separate stock and barrel.

Pros & Cons

• Pro: Sub-MOA guarantee with factory match ammo — I’ve personally shot .6 MOA with Hornady 55gr Superformance.
• Pro: The LT CPCT stock is a legitimate chassis system, not a glorified sporter stock — full aluminum bedding block and M-Lok slots for bipod or barricade stop.
• Con: The factory magazine release is a bit stiff out of the box; plan on a 5-minute polish or an aftermarket release if you’re running reloads under the clock.

FAQ

What twist rate is the Tikka T3X LT CPCT 22-250 barrel?

The factory barrel has a 1:14 twist rate, optimized for 50-55 grain bullets typical in 22-250 varmint loads.

Does this rifle come with a scope base?

Yes — the receiver has an integral Picatinny rail, so you can mount rings directly without buying a separate base.

Can I use standard Tikka T3X stocks on the LT CPCT?

No — the LT CPCT uses a proprietary chassis with a different inlet and bottom metal. Stick with LT CPCT-specific stocks or chassis.

Is the barrel threaded for a suppressor?

Yes — 5/8×24 threads are standard, and the 20″ barrel keeps overall length manageable with a can attached.

What is the difference between the T3X LT and the T3X LT CPCT?

The LT CPCT adds an adjustable comb, LOP spacers, and an aluminum bedding block — the standard LT has a fixed synthetic stock.
