Description
1-8″ Twist
23.7″ Barrel with 18×1 thread
We have designed and developed the ultimate target rifle in cooperation with the Finnish Hunting and Sporting Association.
Based
on certain design parameters, we built a rifle that is capable of
performing at the highest level of competition while simultaneously
functioning as a hunting rifle. The rifle features a laminated stock
with a four-way adjustable cheek piece for optimal scope alignment, and
an adjustable recoil pad to accommodate each shooter’s preferred length
of pull. The Tikka T3 Sporter is practical, purpose-oriented and
provides you with the same performance and accuracy of all Tikka T3
rifles.
Available as left-handed.
SPECIAL FEATURES
ADJUSTABLE CHEEKPIECE AND RECOIL PAD
The
T3 Sporter rifle’s adjustable cheek piece allows for optimal scope
alignment. The cheek piece can be adjusted both vertically and
horizontally. The recoil pad is vertically adjustable and may be
extended with optional spacers for an improved shooting posture.
CHEEK PIECE MEMORY FEATURE
The
cheek piece has an integrated memory feature. It allows the shooter to
lock the cheek piece to a certain height and position. If the cheek
piece is removed and replaced, the position is memorized.
THREADED BARREL
The
T3 Sporter with the 20” barrel is also available with a threaded
muzzle. The threading allows you to attach a sound suppressor or muzzle
brake.
Safety
Tikka
rifles provide you with a two-stage safety, blocking both the trigger
and bolt handle. The safety is easy to operate and indicates when the
rifle is ready for firing.
Action
The
action is designed for accuracy, reliability and easy servicing. Tikka
rifles provide you with an extremely rigid action with a two-locking lug
T3 bolt. The bolt features a spring-loaded plunger ejector and a
removable bolt handle, with 70° opening angle leaving plenty of room for
handling the bolt. This is one of the smoothest actions on the market.
Trigger
A
single-stage pull with a comfortable trigger feel. The steel trigger
has vertical grooves for added grip, even when wearing gloves. It is
easily adjustable through the magazine well from 1 to 2 kg (2 to 4 lbs).
All models are available with an optional single-set trigger.
Stock
The
stock is a light but solid T3 TrueBody design of high-grade walnut or
fiberglass-reinforced copolymer polypropylene. An optional recoil pad
system with spacers provides adjustability in length of pull. Grip
patterns are carefully designed for added comfort and a firm grip. Sling
swivels as standard.
Barrel
A
cold hammer-forged Sako barrel of highest-grade stainless steel or
Cr-Mo alloy. It is free-floating in models with wooden stock. The barrel
is fastened to the receiver by a sturdy thread for safety and accuracy.
It is hand-crowned, as a good and even muzzle crown is essential for
accuracy.
