Tikka T3x Lite Roughtech Ember 6mm CM 24" 3rd Stainless Rifle

Tikka's T3x Lite already shoots better than most rifles at its weight, and the Roughtech version changes the one thing people complain about, which is the stock. The Roughtech surface is a coarse texture molded across the grip areas and the forend, so a wet or gloved hand stays put without checkering or grip tape. This one carries the Ember colorway. The barrel is 24" and fluted, chambered in 6mm Creedmoor, with a threaded muzzle and a radial brake included.

The 6mm Creedmoor is the 6.5's faster little brother: lighter bullets, more velocity, flatter trajectory and even less recoil, which makes it a favorite for open country deer and for anyone shooting at distance who wants to watch their own impacts through the scope. Tikka's action is why these rifles group as well as they do: a smooth two lug bolt with a short throw, a cold hammer forged barrel free floated the length of the stock channel, and an adjustable single stage trigger. The bolt is fluted, which keeps grit from binding things up in dusty or icy conditions. Three rounds in the detachable magazine, and the receiver takes the very large range of Tikka and Sako scope mounts already on the market.
