The Tikka T3x Ace Game 6.5 Creedmoor 24″ Threaded Bronze is a precision bolt-action sporting rifle built on an adjustable chassis system, engineered for shooters who demand repeatable accuracy and ergonomic control in the field. Chambered in 6.5 Creedmoor, it features a fluted medium-contour barrel with a 5/8×24 thread pattern and a bronze Cerakote finish. The modular chassis includes an adjustable skeletonized rear stock, adjustable pistol grip, 20 MOA Picatinny optic rail, and M-LOK handguard for direct accessory attachment.

Key Features
- Fluted Medium-Contour Barrel with Threaded Muzzle — The 24″ barrel is fluted to reduce weight while maintaining stiffness for consistent harmonics. The 5/8×24 thread pattern accepts standard muzzle brakes or suppressors, critical for managing recoil and signature in tactical or hunting applications.
- Adjustable Skeletonized Stock and Pistol Grip — Length of pull, comb height, and grip angle are tool-free adjustable, allowing the shooter to achieve a natural cheek weld and trigger hand position across varying shooting positions and layers of clothing.
- 20 MOA Picatinny Optic Rail — Factory-mounted rail provides additional elevation adjustment for long-range shooting, eliminating the need for aftermarket bases when mounting high-magnification or MRAD/MOA reticle optics.
- M-LOK Handguard — Allows direct attachment of bipods, lights, or laser aiming modules without adding rail weight or bulk. The handguard free-floats the barrel to preserve accuracy.
- Two-Stage Trigger — Adjustable trigger pull weight (per Tikka specs) delivers a crisp break with minimal overtravel, aiding precision shot placement under field stress.
Who It’s For
This rifle is built for the tactical precision shooter, law enforcement precision marksman, and serious hunter who needs a single platform that transitions from the range to the field. It suits those who prioritize ergonomic adjustability and suppressor compatibility without sacrificing the proven Tikka T3x action reliability.
Pros / Cons

- Pro: Adjustable stock and grip allow a custom fit for shooters from 5′2″ to 6′4″.
