Not everyone wants the full 26 inches. The Tikka T3X Ace Target Black Steel 6.5 Creedmoor NS 23.7" trims things down a bit, same chassis, same performance, just a shorter, easier-to-handle barrel for shooters who'd rather not be swinging around a full-length rig.

6.5 Creedmoor, 1:8 twist, threaded 5/8x24. This 6.5 Creedmoor Rifle is built around the cartridge that's become the default long-range choice for a reason, flat shooting, manageable recoil, and this Tikka T3x 6.5 Creedmoor configuration takes full advantage of it. The two-stage trigger breaks clean, no mush, no guessing when it's going to go, which matters just as much in a match as it does lining up a shot at distance.

Full Ace Target chassis under the hood here, nothing scaled back for the shorter barrel. The cheek piece adjusts to your face, length of pull and recoil pad dial in too, so you're not fighting the rifle's fit on top of everything else. Skeletonized aluminum stock takes extra weights if you want to shift the balance around. Grip's AR-compatible, adjusts for angle and reach. Feeds off a proper 10-round metal magazine, not some flimsy polymer stand-in, and M-LOK plus ARCA rails mean bipods and other gear actually have somewhere real to go.

Black steel finish, the kind that just looks better the more it gets used. This Tikka T3x Ace Target Rifle proves the T3x ACE Target 6.5 Creedmoor rifle lineup doesn't need a full-length barrel to deliver.
