The Tikka T3x Superlite in 350 Legend delivers precision hunting performance in a lightweight package designed for dense cover and moderate-range shooting. This bolt-action rifle combines Tikka's renowned accuracy with the straight-wall cartridge compatibility required in many hunting zones. The fluted barrel design reduces weight while maintaining structural integrity for consistent shot placement.
What Makes This Different
The T3x Superlite stands apart from standard hunting rifles through its combination of a cold-hammer-forged barrel and synthetic stock that weighs significantly less than traditional wood alternatives. The 350 Legend chambering provides 200-300 yard effective range with manageable recoil, making it suitable for hunters transitioning from shotgun zones. The threaded muzzle accepts suppressors or muzzle devices without requiring gunsmith modifications.

Field performance centers on the 350 Legend's straight-wall design, which meets hunting regulations in restricted zones while delivering 200-grain bullets at 2200 fps muzzle velocity. The fluted barrel dissipates heat during extended shooting sessions and reduces overall rifle weight to approximately 6.2 pounds. The synthetic stock resists moisture and temperature changes that can affect wood stocks in varying weather conditions. Accuracy typically groups within 1.5 MOA with quality ammunition.
