The modern shooter wants a bolt-action rifle that blends precision, modularity, and field-ready features. This review breaks down the Tikka platform built for accuracy and adaptability, focusing on what makes it a practical choice for varmint hunters and precision shooters alike.

TIKKA T3X ACE GAME is built on the same modular chassis as the T3x Ace Target, but tuned for hunting and field use with a threaded, fluted medium contour 24″ barrel chambered in .22-250 Rem. The rifle ships 10+1 and pairs a black fluted threaded barrel with a Black Cerakote aluminum Picatinny rail receiver and an ARCA Swiss/M-LOK handguard.

Why this platform matters

The adjustable chassis is the headline feature: an adjustable rear stock that tailors length of pull, cheek rest height, and recoil pad position gives shooters a repeatable, comfortable fit. The skeletonized rear stock accepts added weights for greater stability during precision strings, while an ambidextrous, adjustable thumb rest promotes a solid thumb-forward grip. The standard AR-style polymer grip is adjustable in angle and position, letting you fine-tune trigger reach.

The 24″ threaded, fluted medium-contour barrel improves heat dissipation and reduces weight while offering the option to mount a suppressor or muzzle device. The Black Cerakote aluminum Picatinny rail receiver provides a stable optic platform, and the ARCA Swiss/M-LOK handguard accommodates bipods, rails, and accessories without sacrificing low-profile ergonomics.

Caliber and field use

The .22-250 Rem is a high-velocity varmint round prized for flat trajectory, long-range performance on small to medium game, and minimal wind drift for its class. Paired with a 24″ fluted barrel and the rifle’s chassis, the TIKKA T3X ACE GAME becomes a specialized tool for long-distance predator and varmint work, or any application where follow-up shots and controllability are important.

At a street price of $1699.0 the package balances premium ergonomics and practical hardware—threaded barrel, Picatinny receiver, ARCA Swiss/M-LOK handguard, and adjustable stock—into a platform ready for optics and mission-specific accessories.
