The Tikka T3 is a series of bolt-action rifles manufactured by Sako under their Tikka brand in Riihimäki, Finland since 2003.
[1] The series is available in a wide variety of different sight, calibre and stock configurations as well as several barrel lengths.
[1] In 2016, the series received an overhaul and the improved models were named Tikka T3x.
The main changes were an enlarged ejection port, a steel recoil lug replacing the T3's aluminium lug, and a metal bolt shroud replacing the T3's plastic.
[2][3] All improved parts of the T3x are backward compatible with the older T3 models.
