Tikka T3x TAC A1 6.5 Creedmoor 24" Rifle JRTAC382L

I have two Tikka rifles, new one T3x TAC A1 6.5 Creedmore and my good old T3 in .270 win. As a US Army Sniper Team Ldr I have a pleasure to work with some really good long guns, but i wouldn't be afraid to carry my Tikka T3x TAC A1 into Hell and Back if i had to...right out of the box, rifle is printing 1/4moa groups with Hornadyy ELD 140gr Match and 1/2moa with Winchester 140gr Match ammo...It's solid sub MOA gun at extended ranges as well... I have decided to buy another Tikka because my decade old T3, is still excellent, capable of 1/2 MOA accuracy hunting rifle...hands down, best value for money paid! - Rob

I have taken my new Tikka T3x TAC A1 to range and the first group after zeroing and barrel break-in at 100yds was .405" second group was .450" using Hornady 140gr ELD match ammo. Incredible weapon system, can't say enough good things about the function and accuracy, absolutely flawless. I then set it up on the Long Range (600yd.) and was able to dial up first round hits at 200, 300, 400, 500 and 600yds on 24" steel plates. If you don't have one these you certainly need to consider getting one, you will definitely be very happy. Love them Finland boys, the make some the finest firearms on the planet. I will be going head to head with a friend who has a RPR in 6.5 Creedmoor very soon, I pretty sure the Tikka will out shoot the Ruger any day of the week.

.3 to .5 MOA 5 shot groups with Hornady .143 grain ammo. She's a shooter - believe the reviews. Great trigger and rock solid folding stock. Action is smooth as silk.

I have a Ruger m77 mkll which is a real shooter with Steiner T5XI 5-25 in 6.5 Creedmoor and now have a tikka T3X Tac A1 set up the same met up with a guy at Bass Pro shop and got to talking we headed out to the range on a windy day and we’re piging steel at 485 yards consistently using hand loads of Hornady brass and Sierra 140 hpbt bullets and some Hornady 143 ELDX bullets only .1 mil left correction and only 2.2 mils up at 485. Shooting from sand bags we both didn’t miss a shot and we put at least 50 rounds each down range. Before I went to the range I used break free CLP to clean the barrels and lightly oiled the barrel then after five rounds I cleaned the barrel and didn’t look back. For reloaders you must trim the brass before is best but at least after the first outing. The chamber is maxed out with the length of new brass untrimmed my Ruger has a little more length in the chamber so remember to trim your brass. The rifle is tops it came with their T-rings but I opted to buy Spur rings with 42.4 M.O.A for some serious long range use which is what Steiner recommends. Funny how their rings don’t give you that option but they do have a level. Which I highly recommend, my buddy was shooting in an arc and was ready to make adjustments and I told him he was canting the rifle and to use the level. His longest shot earlier was 285 yards after he started using the level he never missed a shot and we did a bunch at the limit of my range. Whatever scope you use purchase a good level and make sure your scope is level. Also buy a good fiberglass cleaning rod and bronze brushes and I prefer a plastic patch holder a jag is good but finicky about patch thickness and size not good is you have multiple rifles of various caliber at the range. This rifle exudes quality. I didn’t realize that this is actually a long action I read we’re all the tikka rifles are. I’m curious if those in .223 are also. Love the bolt handle and the bolt slides so smoothly I never want to go back To using my remington again. The Ruger once I took the coating off the Mauser extractor and all bolt contact points then polished these surface it doens’t Bind And shoots about the same as the Tikka and has a nice bolt handle so now I have two really good rifles to compete against a friend new or old.

Finally found and bought one. Have several Tikka's already and each one is a shooter for an off the shelf rifle. Just befinning load development and everything i have tried is under 1 MOA Even factory ammo. My loads using lapua brass, H4350 powder, Hornady 140 ELD bullets gave me two 3 shot groups of .25 and .27 inch. Good start. Will be taking it iut to 600 yrds in a couple weeks.

This is an amazing firearm for the price. Amazing accuracy out of the box. In the not so distant past this quality would have cost ten times as much. It is heavy, but there are more than ample sling attachment points, adjustments stay put, trigger is top notch. The optics mount is a 0° rail, but there are great mounts available with offset options. I like Warne one piece quick detach mounts and bipod, can't beat the quality for the price, they are rock solid. Really can't say enough good about this rig, you will not be sorry.

Sub MOA at 207 yards with factory ammo in first range session. One disappointment was the 90% failure to eject rate! Almost didn't mind because it was so accurate, but having to reach into the ejection port and grab and remove 9 out of 10 pieces of spent brass that were not ejected by cycling the bolt is not acceptable for any rifle, let alone one from Tikka!!

I'm extremely happy with my Tikka t3x tac a1! Shooting off a bipod at 100 yards I'm averaging around 1/2 moa with my best just under 3/8 of an inch. That's with factory 130 grain ammo. The action is really smooth. The folding stock is very nice and locks tight with no play whatsoever.

I left a review here back in 2019 when i first bought this rifle. Back then i had no real experience with, save a trip to the range in which the grouping at 100 yards really impressed me. Fast forward to today (August 2022) and i can't say enough good things about this precision rifle. Screw talking about "groups". Let's talk about what this baby can do at long range. Yesterday i hit a soda can at 1,004 yards in 3 shots and that was with me guessing on my DOPE for shot #1. The the first adjustment ( half a mil down and point 2 L ) was nearly perfect. The second adjustment was perfect ( point 2 R ) and i nailed the soda can. The weekend prior to this one i was 2/9 at 1,850 yards on an 18" competition silhouette and also hit a milk jug at 1,400 yards with relative ease. Next week i'm going for a soda can at 1,400 yards inside of ten shots. This rifle, with the right optic, ammo and shooter is quite capable of the feat. This rifle is incredible and it is still cheaper than the DD Delta Pro. I'm a former US Special Operator and i absolutely cannot recommend this rifle any more highly. If you don't buy one, that's on you.

Very good rifle, in my opinion. Extremely accurate. I have known a couple of guys who could shoot a fly off your ear, I am not one of them. Having said that, this weapon has helped me to consistently tighten up groups out to 600, which is as far as I can shoot around here. At 200 prone, depending on how badly my bones are creaking, I can shoot 150-200 every time with this rifle. The 6.5 cartridge and the superb muzzle break gives just about zero felt recoil. I had a Nightforce NX8 which I switched out for a Trijicon Tenmile because reasons. Does not make any difference worth a spit because they're both good scopes. So enough Do Ray Me me me and I will tell you that the weapon is very good in every way, it's a great shooter and a lot of fun. I would recommend buying it.

This is my 5th Tikka. Like all the others it's a half MOA rifle. Out of the box it shot incredible. If you're on the fence about this weapon system pull the trigger, You won't be sorry. Maybe you can find something that shoots this good, but it be hard to find something that shoots better in this or double it's price range..

To be transparent, I didn't buy my Tac A1 from EuroOptic but I'm bored so here I am. I've had my Tikka A1 in 6.5 Creedmoor since September of 2017 and ran it in PRS matches. It's been in rain, mud, snow, and heat. Accuracy has been superb. With factory Hornady 140gr ELD ammo you can expect 1/2 MOA out of the box. With my reloads I was easily shooting 0.3 MOA routinely. The aftermarket for Tikka is fantastic with bolt accessories, trigger springs, complete drop in triggers, arca rails, chassis, stocks, and prefit barrels. I'm on my second barrel and the rifle just keeps on hammering. The one issue I've run into with this rifle is with the magazine. Every once in a while the CTR mag would cause a round to go 'nose up' and the bolt would not pick it up. There are several videos and threads on SnipersHide on how to fix this by adjusting the spring. It's very easy and I have not had a single issue since. This is a fantastic rifle and I wouldn't hesitate to purchase it again.

Tack driver. If you’re thinking about buying a great precision rifle for a great price, look no further. This is the one.

Excelent rifle, a little bit on the heavy side; half moa at 100 yards.

I own a lot of bolt rifles over the years. Always been a Remington fan. Boy oh boy I’m a believer in this tac a1. It shot so good and the group so tight. Zeroing the riffle at 100 yards shot. The 4 groups averaging from 0.45 to 0.56 inches. Than I start to go out to 200 to 600 yards. Making adjustment base on my strelok pro ballistic app. The joy of hearing the metal plate rings. Now I need to find a range past 600 yards.

Unbelievable. My first day taking this to the range was simply to break the rifle in and lap the barrel. I had no expectations to group. Once I attained my 100 yard zero, I thought might as well go out to 200 yards. I was shooting 140gr Hornady ELD Match in 6.5 CM. My first 3 shots grouped at about a half inch at 200 yards. I've never shot that tight of a group with any of my other rifles. Could it have been a miracle group? Possibly. But I'm sure as hell happy about purchasing the Tikka T3X A1.

Great

Been waiting for the left handed models to come out. Been waiting. They are coming. That’s what they are telling me, they’re coming. Can’t wait. Gorgeous Rifle.

It’s a shooter! What more can I say.

I've been putting my T3x Tac A1 through its paces for about a month and it rates very close to my AI in my "favorite rifles" category. It's a real tac driver.

Great concept

Own Tikka t3 laminated ss 30-06, great hunting rifle. Only concern I have with tac a1 is folding stock.
