Tikka T3x Ace Game 6.5 CM 24" 5rd Left Hand Rifle

The T3x Ace Game shares its modular chassis with the Ace Target, so the rifle that goes up the mountain has the same skeleton as the one that lives on a bench. What changes is the barrel. The Game gets a fluted medium contour tube instead of a heavy one, 24" here in 6.5 Creedmoor, which sheds enough weight to make a full day of walking reasonable while keeping enough steel to hold a group through a string of shots.

The chassis adjusts for length of pull and comb height and gives you M-LOK real estate for a bipod or a tripod clamp. The Tikka trigger is user adjustable, the bolt throw is short and slick the way Tikka bolts have always been, and the muzzle is threaded 5/8-24 for a brake or a suppressor. This one is a left hand rifle in the real sense: left side bolt, left side ejection, cut for a left handed shooter rather than a right hand action wearing an ambidextrous stock. 6.5 Creedmoor does the most work of anything you can put in this chassis, holding well past 800 yards while recoiling little enough to watch your own impacts.
