The operator can use additional spacers to lengthen it, and of course can remove spacers to shorten the length of pull. ![]() The padded buttpad adjusts vertically, sliding up and down, and it is also adjustable for length of pull using a spacer system. This is not a bad thing at all as the TRG design is very ergonomic and well designed. If you compare the shape of the Sporter stock to that of its distant cousin, the Sako TRG-22/42, you will notice that the shape closely matches the shape of the popular Sako sniper rifle. Since the T3 Sporter is intended for competition shooting and not tactical work, Tikka has elected to use laminated wood for this rifle. As the rifle was not ours, we elected not to remove the muzzlebrake and to run the test with it installed.īack before the days of widely available synthetic stocks, laminated wood was a better option over a standard walnut wood stock as the various layers of laminate stiffened the wood up and it allowed the stock to not flex nearly as much as a traditional wood stock that changes when the weather and moisture in the air change. This rifle had the threaded muzzle and a non-Tikka/Sako muzzlebrake installed. All of the T3 Sporter rifles with a 20″ barrel are threaded for a suppressor or muzzlebrake and the 24″ versions are available with barrel threading as an option. ![]() The rifle we had on hand to evaluate was a 24″ barrel chambered in 260 Remington which had just ran through one of our Advanced Long Range Precision Marksman courses with a student. The 222 is really the only odd ball one there but it is a popular varmint hunting cartridge. The T3 Sporter is available in two different barrel lengths (20″ and 24″) and is available in five different chamberings including 308 Win, 260 Rem, 6.5×55 Swede, 223 Rem and the 222 Rem.

We had the opportunity come up that allowed us to take one of these T3 Sporter rifles chambered in 260 and run it through a full review to see how it might perform as a dedicated sniper rifle.īefore we proceed, we wanted to remind readers that with our new web page layout, we are able to easily use higher resolution images, which we have done. The new T3 Sporter is available in the USA in limited quantities and it is based on their popular T3 series of rifles. ![]() One of the more recent rifles that Tikka has introduced is their T3 Sporter which is designed to be a competition target rifle that is similar to their old Master Sporter rifle from years back. Unfortunately Beretta does not import every rifle that Tikka makes so we in the USA miss out on some of the unique stuff, like their T3 tactical chambered in 260. Tikka has continued to make some higher quality rifles that are relatively affordable which have been imported by Beretta USA. ![]() Overall Length: 1050 mm (41.3") with 510 mm (20") barrelĪ few years back we took a detailed look at the T3 Tactical rifle with the 24″ barrel and found some things we liked and did not like about the rifle.Magazine: 5 or 6 round Detachable Box Magazine.Barrel: Heavy, cold Hammer Forged - optional threading.
