The Tikka T3x Lite Roughtech Tan 7mm PRC 24.3″ is a production bolt-action rifle engineered for shooters who demand precision under field conditions. Chambered in 7mm PRC, it pairs a fluted, threaded 24.3-inch barrel with a textured synthetic stock that maintains grip in rain, mud, or snow. At 6.3 pounds with a muzzle brake included, this is a lightweight, hard-use platform for long-range hunting and tactical shooting.

Key Features
- Fluted, Threaded 24.3″ Barrel – Reduces weight and allows direct attachment of suppressors or muzzle devices. The fluting also aids heat dissipation during string fire.
- Roughtech Stock Texture – Aggressive grip pattern prevents hand slippage in wet or icy conditions. No need for aftermarket tape or stippling.
- Included Muzzle Brake – Factory-installed brake cuts recoil significantly, letting you spot impacts and re-engage faster. Removable for suppressor use.
- Detachable 3-Round Magazine – Steel-reinforced polymer mag feeds reliably. Single-stack design reduces failure-to-feed risk in dirty environments.
- Adjustable Trigger – Tikka’s single-stage trigger breaks clean and can be set between 2-4 lbs without gunsmithing. No creep, no overtravel.
Who It’s For
This rifle is built for law enforcement marksmen, military precision shooters, and serious hunters who need a sub-7-pound platform that delivers consistent sub-MOA accuracy at extended ranges. The 7mm PRC cartridge offers flat trajectory and retained energy past 1,000 yards, making it suitable for both tactical engagements and big game hunts in open terrain.
Pros & Cons
Pros: Lightweight at 6.3 lbs; factory muzzle brake reduces recoil by approximately 30%; threaded barrel for suppressor use; proven Tikka action with smooth bolt lift; 1-MOA guarantee out of the box.
Cons: The synthetic stock has limited adjustment for length of pull or cheek weld; aftermarket chassis or stock may be needed for some shooters. The detachable magazine holds only 3 rounds, which is restrictive for competition or tactical use.
