For hunters, long-range competitors, and tactical operators who value lightweight handling without sacrificing ballistic performance, the right bolt-action rifle matters. The rifle must feed reliably, mount optics securely, and deliver consistent performance out past typical engagement distances.

TIKKA T3X LITE is a full-size bolt-action rig chambered in 6.5 PRC with a 3+1 capacity and a 24.30″ stainless Cerakote fluted threaded barrel. Shop this product

Design and Build

The Tikka receiver has been updated with a widened angular ejection port for easier single-round feeding and faster cycling. The drilled and tapped stainless steel receiver includes extra screw placements on top, allowing secure attachment of a Picatinny rail for optics and backup sights. The fluted, threaded barrel is stainless and Cerakote-finished, balancing corrosion resistance with reduced weight and quicker cool-down between strings.

Ergonomics and Modularity

Stock and Grip

The Veil Alpine fixed synthetic stock gives a rugged, weather-resistant platform with a modular pistol grip and forend capability. The black interchangeable backstrap grip and the classic low-angled grip profile provide rapid, natural recoil management and allow shooters to fine-tune hand position for comfort and control.

Action and Feeding

With a 3+1 magazine configuration and the T3x receiver enhancements, feeding is smooth and reliable. The action geometry and bolt design make the rifle equally suited for deliberate precision shots and rapid follow-ups at practical distances.

Caliber: 6.5 PRC — Ballistics and Applications

Chambered in 6.5 PRC, this platform delivers high sectional density and excellent ballistic coefficients for long-range hunting and tactical work. Expect flatter trajectories, retained energy at extended ranges, and manageable recoil compared with larger magnum calibers — making it ideal for precision work and medium-to-large game at distance.

At a listed price of $1,539.00, the rifle presents a compelling value for shooters seeking modern ergonomics and full-size ballistic performance. View product details and pricing

Tactical Notes

Mount a quality optic to take advantage of the 6.5 PRC’s long-range capability and use the receiver’s extra screw placements for a low-profile Picatinny rail. The threaded barrel accepts suppressors or muzzle devices for signature reduction and recoil tuning. The combination of a lightweight stock and stainless Cerakote barrel makes the rifle durable across varied field conditions.
