First Look: Tikka Ace Rifles

We take a quick look at the new Tikka T1x Ace Target, T3x Ace Target and T3x Ace Game precision rifles.

Tikka is world-renowned for its excellently built precision rifles. Whether they’re being used for hunting, competition or something more tactical, the company’s bolt guns are known to be some of the best. Now, Tikka is adding three new rifles to its catalog that were designed with the goal of unparalleled precision in mind.

First in the lineup is the Tikka T3x Ace Target rifle. Available in .308 Winchester, 6.5 Creedmoor and .233 Remington, this rifle has a lot of features that will make the job of reaching out and touching things easier. Firstly, it has a heavy, vibration-free barrel that can withstand heat and deliver excellent accuracy. The barrel is also free-floated, cold hammer-forged, available in multiple lengths and has a 5/8×24 threaded muzzle for suppressors or brakes. The rifle features a crisp, adjustable two-stage trigger and feeds from durable 10-round metal magazines.

Next is the T1x Ace Target. Available in .17 HMR and .22 LR, this rifle was designed to mimic the T3x centerfire variant for training purposes, but it could equally excel in competition. It features a single-stage trigger, a smooth 45-degree bolt throw, a 10-round magazine capacity and a threaded, cross-over, free-floated cold hammer-forged barrel that’s available in 16- and 20-inch lengths.

Third is the Tikka T3x Ace Game. Designed with hunters in mind, this model is available in .223 Remington, .308 Winchester, 7mm PRC, .300 Win. Mag., .22-250 Remington, 6.5 PRC, 6.5 Creedmoor and 7mm Rem. Mag. It also has a lot in common with the T3x Ace Target, but some of its features cater more towards hunting like the lightweight, fluted medium contour barrel (threaded 5/8×24), adjustable single-stage trigger and interchangeable magwell. The Game model is available in multiple barrel lengths as well.

Further, all T3x, T1X and T3 barreled actions share stock compatibility. That means that all three models of Tikka Ace rifle feature an adjustable length of pull, cheek rest and recoil pad, an ambidextrous thumb rest and AR-pattern pistol grips. The stocks also feature a 20 MOA Picatinny rail for optics and M-LOK and Arca rails for mounting other accessories.
