Correct pronunciation of " Tikka " #5766387 10/31/11 Joined: Aug 2007 Posts: 75 J JoeSmith OP Campfire Greenhorn OP JoeSmith Campfire Greenhorn J Joined: Aug 2007 Posts: 75 Was wondering if it is Tick - Uh or if it pronounced differently. I have not owned one yet but am considering. Academy sports sells the t3 and the counter guys refer to them as Brownings. I guess if it comes with a Browning tag then you can call it that.

I believe Tikka is "tee-ka"
