Tikka T3x Tac A1

About the Tikka

Tikkakoski was at first a metal workshop established in 1893 in Jyväskylä, Finland, which later, at the end of World War I in 1918 evolved into a factory that produced gun components. One of the most important guns of Tikka in the 20th century is most definitely Suomi KP/-31, which is regarded as one of the most successful submachine guns of World War II.

Tikkakoski and Sako cooperated on a prototype rifle series in 1981 and soon after that, Tikkakoski was acquired by Sako. By the end of the decade, the production of Tikka rifles has already shifted from Jyväskylä to Sako headquarters in Riihimäki. Tikka still holds on to their traditional gunsmith craftsmanship, visually inspecting every rifle barrel and then manually testing the rifle with test shots. In 2009 Beretta group took over Sako, which got Sako and Tikka access to the most advanced production methods.

Tikka T3x Tac A1 Rifle Review

Tikka T3x Tac A1 is a special version of Tikka T3x rifle series, which is adapted for military use, compared to the other T3x rifles, which are usually considered as hunting line of rifles. It has interchangeable pistol grips, that allow the user to adjust the angle of the grip, although these grips are sold separately. Even though the rifle has a detachable magazine that can store 10 cartridges, Tikka widened the angular ejection port for the sake of simplification of inserting one cartridge at a time. The rifle barrel is surrounded with a tube, which has M-LOK holes all around the tube. On top, it has a 0 MOA Picatinny rail over the whole length of the tube for rifle scope mounting purpose.

This rifle is chambered for:

  • .223 Rem
  • .260 Rem
  • .308 Win
  • 6.5 Creedmoor

Our recommendation for mounts

For fixed mount, we would recommend you to install tactical monoblock mount on a Picatinny rail and great example of that would be Contessa tactical mount.

As far as the repeatable detachable mounts are concerned, one great option to consider would be quick release INNOmount monoblock.

Help us build our riflescope mounts database

If you have this rifle or any other rifle at home, we would really appreciate it if you could send us some photos of the rifle receiver (mounting surface of the rifle when there are no mounts installed), because it would help us expand our rifle mounts database. If you send us a photo of rifle receiver which we don’t already have, that would be of great value to us and we will definitely reward you for your help.

Please send us an email for more information. You can contact us here: info@optics-trade.eu

Riflescopes magnify images, allowing the shooter to carefully inspect the target, while a red dot sight quick target acquisition when shooting at short distances.

In this category, there are mounts that allow the use of a riflescope and a red dot sight in a single setup.

Advantages of combined use of two optical devices

  1. The hunter is prepared to take an accurate shot in all possible situations.

  2. At close range, a red dot sight is used, while the riflescope proves useful at long-range distances.

  3. Using a red dot and a riflescope in a single setup is less expensive than purchasing two, 100% repeatable mounting solutions for each optical device.

Most mounts found in this category are either rings or parts of rings with an integrated red dot sight mounting standard. The standard is specified in the mount’s name – mostly, one of the familiar red dot mounting standards is listed such as Docter Sight, Aimpoint Micro, C-more RTS, Shield RMS/SMS, Trijicon RMR.

Some manufacturers, such as Spuhr and Recknagel, provide rings with an interface that is then further paired with an adapter plate.

How to mount a red dot sight on a riflescope

There are two ways of mounting a red dot sight on a scope tube:

  1. on top of the riflescope or

  2. on the side, at a 45° angle.

Even though the mounting style depends on the user preference, having a red dot sight mounted on top of a riflescope is generally more popular among hunters.

IPSC shooters, for example, generally prefer to have the red dot sight mounted at a 45° angle.

Red dot mounts for a scope tube are almost exclusively made from aluminium.
