While my CTR isn't the most accurate rifle I've shot, its consistently very accurate with any load. It’s entirely made in Finland by SAKO, and its weather- and warp-resistant laminated birch stock is orange instead of red. I can switch from 120 grain loads to 140's and 143's, across three or for manufacturers, and many different bullet types, and point of impact changes are absolutely minimal. Actually, this T3x Arctic differs from the military version in two key areas. And there are no cheap aftermarket alternatives.įor what its worth, the Tikka's I have played with have not only been highly accurate, the are also relatively insensitive to ammo changes. They run about the same as real AICS mags, meaning $75-100.

The only possible downside to the Tikka is the CTR type mags are not cheap. Accuracy is also FAR better with Tikka's product. Specifications Caliber.308 Win Weight:8. 4.75 Inch Picatinny Rail allows for easy mounting of optics. Detachable Steel Magazine is highly durable and holds 10 rounds. My Tikka and others I have handled and shot are far smoother, with much better ergonomics. Stainless Steel Action from Tikka is famously reliable and smooth. This rifle adopted by the Canadian Rangers as the C19. Its hell-for-stout but has Ruger's typical 'handles like a sack of concrete mix' ergonomics. One rifle stands out as the premier choice for someone looking for a traditional, iron-sighted rifle, the Tikka T3x Arctic. I'm really not impressed with the Ruger Scout. Its relatively easy to bind the bolt if you run it hard. The Ruger is a solid but really sloppy rifle.
