The Tikka T3 Lite delivers exceptional accuracy and reliability in a lightweight hunting platform designed for varmint and predator hunting. This 22-250 Remington rifle combines Finnish precision engineering with practical field-ready features that serious hunters demand.
What Makes This Different
The T3 Lite features a cold-hammer-forged stainless steel barrel with 1:14 twist rate optimized for high-velocity 22-250 cartridges. Unlike standard hunting rifles, the threaded muzzle accepts suppressors and muzzle devices without modification. The single-stage trigger adjusts from 2-4 pounds and breaks consistently at the same point every time, delivering sub-MOA accuracy potential with quality ammunition.
Key Features
- 22.4-inch stainless steel barrel with 5/8x24 threading for suppressor compatibility
- Drilled and tapped stainless receiver accepts standard Weaver/Picatinny scope mounts
- 3+1 capacity detachable magazine system for quick reloads
- Black synthetic stock with textured grip surfaces and 13.5-inch length of pull
- Two-position safety located behind the trigger guard
- 60-degree bolt lift with smooth dual-locking lugs
- Integral recoil lug and free-floating barrel for consistent accuracy
Field performance centers around the 22-250's flat trajectory and devastating terminal ballistics on prairie dogs, coyotes, and fox at extended ranges. The stainless construction resists corrosion in harsh weather conditions while the synthetic stock maintains zero in temperature extremes. Competition shooters appreciate the consistent trigger pull and inherent accuracy of the Finnish manufacturing process.
