With the T3 Rifle from Tikka Firearms, Sako wanted to build a rifle that accomplishes two ambitious goals. It would have to first deliver uncompromising out-of-the-box accuracy and reliability; then it would offer great value for the money. Tikka Firearms met the challenge with a winning combination of virtues, and the result was the Tikka T3 Rifle. The actions of the T3 rifle are specially-tempered steel machined to deliver a payload, accurately & the stock is made of wood or a composite of materials. It must be easy to hold and pleasant to handle, and it must provide a steady base for the aim and action of the rifle. While the stock is capable of enhancing a rifle's performance, it is the steel action and barrel that really makes the rifle. Tikka rifles have barrelled action units that are universally recognized to be among the industry's best. Tikka Firearms combined the Tikka T3 steel parts with an innovative new stock concept, developed by the award-winning industrial designers at Giugiaro. The two parts fuse together to create a new breed of rifle that's sure to take your breath away. Tikka Firearms offer no gilded engravings, no extra cup holders or delicate polished wood - just incredible out-of- the-box accuracy, silky smooth operation and uncompromising reliability.
