Are you interested in a Tikka T3X in .223 with a stainless steel, 16" factory-threaded, 1:8" twist barrel?

[Q_Sertorius]

A couple of months ago, @EuroOptic asked if folks were interested in a Tikka T3X in .223 with a stainless steel, 16" factory-threaded, 1:8" twist barrel. A few folks said "yes," but it was buried in the middle of the wonderful .223 for walrus thread.

You guys want factory threaded 16" stainless Tikka's?
If you do make some noise, Im litigating..

I asked Jake whether it would be useful to get a bit more data to support his efforts to bring these to EuroOptic and he said it would be helpful. So, please indicate your interest in potentially getting that rifle from EuroOptic.

Ideally this would be at least the Lite model, but I've no opposition to Super Lite, Hunter, Compact, etc. The important thing, to me, is "Tikka T3X in .223 with a stainless steel, 16" factory-threaded (5/8-24 or 1/2x28, whichever is available), 1:8" twist barrel."

Jake can clarify that as to the precise model (and I will update the OP if he does so). The only 16" threaded Tikka .223 I see on the Sako-Tikka website is a blued T3X Hunter (TF1T1126A100F20B), but presumably Jake wouldn't be trying to sell us something that doesn't exist. "

If you want to use this thread to ask Jake about some other Tikka model as well, feel free to do so, but otherwise please try to stay on topic.

Also 16" threaded tikka .223 - I have one and really like it.

.243 and I’d order today. Pesky caliber requirements.

 

[ckt3]

Yes. I would like left and right hand versions

 

[big217boy]

I’d be interested in one of these, especially the Lite Stainless model. No preference on thread pitch…Either will work for my use case.

Yes.

In a 16” barrel? That would be interesting.

 

[BradArnett]

If threaded 5/8" yes. 1/2" no not interested.

 

[Jake Larsen]

Yes, threaded 5/8.

[ResearchinStuff]

Threaded 5/8" ideally

 

[ckt3]

If threaded 5/8" yes. 1/2" no not interested.

Why no interest if 1/2-28 ?

 

[UnckleBob]

If threaded 5/8" yes. 1/2" no not interested.

I am in at 5/8" if the price is reasonable.

 

[UnckleBob]

I don't know about him, but I would strongly prefer the ability to use any one of my 30 Cal cans without the need for keeping track of a 1/2" direct thread adapter.

If 1/2" was required, I would do it and buy an adapter. But, that would be a Plan B type option.

 

[BreechFace]

I would if I didn’t already have a very nice H-S stocked Ruger M77 in 223

 

[Coopsdaddy]

Would have but ordered the same gun in blue.
Having action and barrel nitried.
Actually glad i went that route now instead of stainless cause i would have covered the stainless with something anyway.

Tikka model JRTXE31216MT has all the right specs, we just need it in stainless: https://www.eurooptic.com/tikka-t3x...Z78lrCwJzWOka9lIVhSKeCS-lVjjEsrtcbw_N59oG_GE0

Yes.

I believe when I talked to Jake, he said he could get these done but that essentially the special order costs would be very high (i.e., costlier than buying a normal Tikka 223 and paying for the cut/thread).

I’ll let Jake weigh in on that. Obviously, that’s probably an important consideration for everyone.
