About
What it is, and why it matters
The Tikka T3x CTR (Compact Tactical Rifle) bridges the gap between hunting and tactical precision with a semi-heavy 20-inch barrel, 10-round magazine capacity, threaded muzzle, and Picatinny rail. The shorter barrel length provides excellent maneuverability while maintaining the T3x platform's sub-MOA accuracy.
Weight: ~3.6 kg. 10-round detachable magazine (vs 3-round on hunting models). 20" barrel with 5/8"-24 thread. Available in right and left hand. Popular as an entry-level precision rifle platform.
