perttime Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 For many Tikka is the brand to go to when they want a rifle that is guaranteed accurate but doesn't cost an arm and a leg. Many just don't like the simple stocks, and put them in any one of the many aftermarket options. Now, Tikka has a model with a modular chassis on the way. http://www.thefirearmblog.com/blog/2016/06/15/new-tikka-unveiled-t3x-tac-a1/ Quote Tikka T3X TAC A1 is fully modular and therefore fulfills all operational requirements. The aluminum chassis stock system is compatible with most common type AR fore-ends, pistol grips and rear stocks. It offers a foldable rear stock with quick adjustable cheek piece and adjustable length of pull. The muzzle is threaded for attaching muzzle brakes and / or suppressors. Not sure when it will be available. Finnish shops seem to expect it in a couple of months. Sako - Tikka should have it at Shot Show, in about 2 weeks.

jmnielsen Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 That looks awesome. I wonder if just that chassis will ever be available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonytheTiger Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 I wish they would've learned from Ruger and not used the Samson HG. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
perttime Posted January 8, 2017 Author Share Posted January 8, 2017 I used to have a Tikka M65A which is really a direct ancestor of this, with the aluminium bedding block and tube stock. This might be a good modern successor. Tikkas tend to shoot. If the handguard is soft, there's a plenty of options for replacing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soflarick Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 If they offer it in 6.5x55.......oh dear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IHMSA15151 Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 Any idea on price? That's one nice looking rifle! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
perttime Posted January 14, 2017 Author Share Posted January 14, 2017 Haven't seen firm prices yet. I suspect it will be a little more than Ruger Precision Rifle. I hope we'll know more after Shot Show. 308Win / 260Rem / 6,5 Creedmoor have been mentioned as calibers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MHitchcock Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 Decent for a factory offering, but for the same money you could have a tikka in an XLR chassis *shrug* The only real advantage of something like this would be trying to compete in the PRS production division which only leaves you ~$1000 MSRP for an optic.

perttime Posted January 19, 2017 Author Share Posted January 19, 2017 Quote The TAC A1 is available in .308 Winchester with either 16-inch or 20-inch barrel lengths, .260 Remington with either 20-inch or 24-inch barrel lengths and 6.5mm Creedmoor with a 24-inch barrel. It retails for 1,899. http://kitup.military.com/2017/01/tac-a1.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
perttime Posted January 22, 2017 Author Share Posted January 22, 2017 Seems to shoot OK: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonytheTiger Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 I'm pretty excited about this rifle. I've been obsessed with Finnish stuff ever since I bought an M39 and built a Suomi parts kit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fedupflyer Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 (edited) I finally got one and it only took 9 months to get it. Now to find the time to break it in. Glad it came with two mags and a 3rd one once I register it with the manufacture. Edited September 18, 2017 by fedupflyer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wahoo72 Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 Any updates on the Tac A1? Been thinking on it for a hunting setup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fatjoe123111 Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 Also looking at the Tac A1. Any updates would be great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
perttime Posted December 17, 2017 Author Share Posted December 17, 2017 I hear lots have been sold in USA. It is a bit heavier than what people traditionally think of as hunting rifles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
