Looks like you can buy the cheekpiece as an accessory now, might have to look into that.
I'm not a big Tikka fan, but the Forest model looks pretty sharp. (Though there's something just not right about a walnut/blued gun with a plastic trigger guard.)

I’m not a fan of any of the wood stocked Tikkas. Winchester is another story..

There is a 6.5 PRC finally for those wanting them. I was hoping for a 6 CM as well.
Still no 264 win mag 😃

Probably never will . . . . Just sayin'
Seeing as how I can find 6mm CM and 6mm bullets on the shelf right now, it was probably a wise decision from a profit standpoint.

I like mine, but I'm not that picky...

I'm sure you are right, that is why I had a 264 built on a Tikka action. The 264 gets no love, but it is bad ass!

I think that's a good looking rifle.

IMHO Tikka offers the best value for an accurate rifle righto out of the box. Clearly they know what they are doing.
I've never seen a tikka that didn't shoot... best guns I've ever owned.

If you have ever looked at the older Tikkas from back in the 1980s, those were the real nice ones...

The actions were even much smoother than a well worn 30/40 Krag action

I have both a wood stocked Tikka and a Win. Model 70. Actually prefer the Tikka and probably shoots better Win. too.

I just don't get the lack of finish on a walnut gun that's clearly not intended to be weatherproof. How hard would *metal* bottom metal be on just the walnut/blued that they're billing as traditional?? (And you kids get off my lawn!!! 😇😂)

That’s been my experience as well, I own “a few”.

It looks like they also added the 7/08 to the roughtech and wideland models.

This thread makes me want another Superlite stainless in .300 Win, (I know a .300 Win is a "powder hog" and this is a bad time for that ) I think this time ill buy a Cabelas model with the cool camo stock 😁....Hb

130 TTSX at 3,500 would be a friggin laser beam in that thing.

And if they did it might only have a 22.5 Inch barrel. Meh.

I thought the same thing, but then I found High Desert Rifle Works. They make a bottom metal that is a dupe of the factory...except metal.

Or a 9 twist barrel, LOL.
6.5 PRC in a factory T3. Finally laugh

I have considered rebarreling an old Tikka 695 338 win mag, I don't know how many times, but I figured "just be patient". Finally!



Their rimfires look good too.

Wouldn’t the 6.5 PRC be a better mousetrap than the 264?
Posted By: tzone Re: 2021 Tikka Catalog.... - 02/28/21
The PRC gives me a 1/2 chub. I’ll have to check it out.

264 is still bigger and faster. My understanding is the PRC is just a bit more than the 6.5-284. My buddy has both the 6.5-284 and PRC and gets the same velocity though..

And before I get called an imaginary pixel hoarding couch chunt, I have a 264 on a tikka and it fits and works great.

Roger that. I’m outta the race on all of it.

Waiting for a true short action. Please!!

That’s makes me feel better about the prefit McGowen 6CM barrel that will be on my doorstep Tuesday😁

Oh yes it would 👍.....Hb

No more T1x, now we get the T1x MTR with modular stock, improved grip, and metallic bolt shroud. Exactly what we’ve been missing.

Evidently the Finns can’t spell, either.
