The Tikka T3x Lite in 350 Legend delivers exceptional straight-wall cartridge performance in a compact, versatile platform. This rifle combines Tikka's renowned accuracy with the hard-hitting 350 Legend caliber, making it ideal for hunters in straight-wall cartridge zones and those seeking a reliable, lightweight hunting rifle.
What Makes This Different
The T3x Lite features Tikka's cold hammer-forged barrel technology, producing consistently tighter groups than standard button-rifled barrels. The 16-inch threaded barrel provides optimal velocity for the 350 Legend cartridge while maintaining maneuverability in dense cover. Tikka's single-stage trigger breaks cleanly at 2-4 pounds, significantly improving shot placement compared to factory triggers on competing rifles.
Key Features
- Cold hammer-forged 16" barrel with 5/8x24 threading for suppressor compatibility
- Detachable 3-round magazine with flush-fit design
- Steel receiver drilled and tapped for scope mounting
- Modular synthetic stock with interchangeable pistol grips and butt pads

Field performance centers on the 350 Legend's straight-wall design, delivering 200-grain bullets at 2,200 fps with moderate recoil. The cartridge maintains effective energy on whitetail deer out to 200 yards while meeting hunting regulations in restricted zones across Ohio, Indiana, and Iowa. The threaded muzzle accommodates suppressors or muzzle brakes, reducing felt recoil and muzzle rise for faster follow-up shots.
