Also known as: Tikka T3x Ranch, T3x Roughtech Ranch
Overview
The Tikka T3x Roughtech Ranch is a compact bolt-action rifle built on the Finnish T3x action for varmint control, predator hunting, and ranch utility work. It pairs a short 16-inch cold-hammer-forged, fluted and threaded barrel with a durable synthetic stock featuring Tikka's grippy RoughTech texture. Chambered in .223 Remington, it feeds from a detachable box magazine, uses a two-position safety, and comes with an adjustable single-stage trigger for a crisp, light break.
