The author was extremely impressed with the Tikka T3X TAC A1 at the 2017 SHOT Show.<\/p><\/div>\n

Overview<\/h2>\n

Tikka<\/a> is going full tactical with their T3x TAC A1. Based on their advanced T3x action the TAC A1 model is a fully adjustable, modular design with a sleek rail system, new for 2017.<\/p>\n

While Tikka has long made guns that cater to the black rifle crowd the new TAC A1 is a bolt-action rifle with a completely modern feature set. It comes from the factory with an extended free-floating handguard, adjustable folding stock and more.<\/p>\n

The chassis of the rifle is well designed and can accept AR-pattern accessories.<\/p><\/div>\n

The handguard sports a 0-MOA Picatinny rail at the 12-o’clock position for night vision adapters and other accessories. The rest of the handguad uses M-Lok cutouts for accessories and to cut weight. This allows users to completely customize how they configure their rifle and opens up a lot of options for things like bipods and sling setups. The handguard is detachable and shooters can swap it out for compatible free-floating AR-15 handguards.<\/p>\n

The stock is fully-adjustable. The cheek riser, the buttpad and the length of pull are user-adjustable for the perfect fit. On the bottom of the stock is a rail for monopods. The stock also folds to the side for storage and improved maneuverability in the field.<\/p>\n

One neat thing about the TAC A1 is that the stock mount is compatible with AR-15-style stocks. This allows users to install a minimalist stock on for a lighter package or swap out the factory stock for something completely different. It also uses AR-15-pattern pistol grips.<\/p>\n

The TAC A1 feeds from 10-round double-stack magazines and is chambered for three cartridges. Shooters have the choice of .260 Remington, .308 Winchester and 6.5 Creedmoor. The rifle will also have several barrel length options, 16-, 20- and 24-inches. Tikka says the 16-inch models are for military and law enforcement customers but there is nothing stopping them from selling them to the general public as well.<\/p>\n

And of course, the rifle also has a user-adjustable 2-stage trigger. The trigger is adjustable from 2.2 to 4.4 pounds. The barrel has 5\/8-24 threads for muzzle devices and comes with a 3-baffle muzzle brake.<\/p>\n
