Description

The Tikka T3x Tac A1 6.5 Creedmoor 24″ 10rd is a factory-built chassis rifle that delivers precision right out of the box. Chambered in 6.5 Creedmoor with a 24-inch barrel and a 1:8″ twist, this rig is optimized for long-range accuracy and fast follow-up shots. The aluminum chassis provides a rock-solid foundation, while the AR-style controls make it feel familiar to anyone who’s run a competition gun.

Key Features

• Cold-hammer-forged barrel — Why it matters: Tikka hammers their barrels from a single billet of stainless steel, giving you consistent accuracy shot after shot. The 24-inch length and 1:8″ twist stabilize heavy match bullets like the 140-grain ELD-M perfectly.
• Full aluminum chassis with adjustable stock — Why it matters: The bedded aluminum chassis eliminates flex, and the adjustable comb and length of pull let you dial in your fit for repeatable cheek weld and trigger reach.
• AR-style safety and magazine release — Why it matters: If you’re coming from an AR platform, the thumb safety and paddle mag release feel instinctive. No hunting for controls under pressure.
• Threaded muzzle (5/8×24) — Why it matters: You can run a suppressor or brake without a gunsmith. The included thread protector keeps the crown safe when you’re not running a can.
• Optic-ready Picatinny rail — Why it matters: The 20 MOA rail gives you extra elevation for long-range holds. Mount your favorite scope and zero without shims.

Who It’s For

This rifle is built for the competitive shooter who wants a factory gun that can hang with custom builds. Whether you’re shooting PRS, NRL Hunter, or just pushing steel at 1,000 yards, the T3x Tac A1 gives you the accuracy and ergonomics to stay in the fight.

Pros / Cons

• Pros: Sub-MOA guarantee out of the box, smooth two-lug bolt, 10-round steel magazine, adjustable trigger down to 2 lbs, easy barrel swap capability.
• Cons: The factory stock doesn’t have an adjustable cheek riser for vertical adjustment — you’ll need an aftermarket cheek piece for a perfect cheek weld if you run a high-mounted scope. The bolt lift is a bit heavy compared to a custom action.
