Description

Tikka T3X Ace Game 223 1-8MT 20" Rifle
 

The Tikka T3X Ace Game is a premium bolt-action crossover rifle designed for both precision shooting and hunting applications. Built on the proven Tikka T3x action, this model combines a modular aluminium chassis, a fluted medium-contour barrel, and excellent out-of-the-box accuracy.

The .223 Remington 20" (1:8 twist) configuration offers a balance of portability and precision, making it ideal for shooters who want a compact rifle capable of stabilising a wide range of bullet weights. The Ace Game sits between traditional hunting rifles and dedicated competition rifles, offering versatility across multiple shooting disciplines.
