Dear Tikka….if you’re listening.

[DisplacedHusky]

Dear Tikka,
If you are listening, there is still time to roll out some new concepts for the 2025 Shot Show. Here are a few ideas and you don’t even need to change your stocks. Just shorten and thread a few barrels and offer a new chambering or two. You will sell more rifles.

The following are on my Christmas list and since Finland is so close to the North Pole, I’m hoping you can help Santa out.

A 16”, 18” or 20” threaded stainless T3X in .223. I’m not even picky. You choose the length.

An 18” or 20” threaded stainless T3X in 6mm Creedmoor.

I’m sure some Roksliders will add some other ideas to their Christmas lists, but remember Santa, I asked first.

One would think they'd already be cashing in on those 2 in those configurations!! I'd buy one of each!

 

[DisplacedHusky]

The admins here do such a great job of exploiting the search algorithms so that Rokslide threads are often a top result (they must know Al Gore). I’m hoping someone from Tikka stops in every once in a while and realizes they don’t even need to pay for a consumer focus group.

 

[TheM1DoesMyTalking]

You and me both!

My wish in addition to those two is a 18” or 20” threaded stainless T3X in 6mm ARC.

 

[westonadkins]

Would love to see these offerings as well.

They sell 16" 308 tikkas factory threaded here in NZ. I'm sure it's a minimum order thing. Maybe someone could do an order for a run .

Stainless or blued? I hunt in the Pacific North Wet and so I'm only interested in stainless. More to protect the bore than the exterior. Some of Tikka's new 16" threaded models have been so close, so far away since they aren't stainless.

Edited to add: I missed the link, but see now that it's stainless. That's a great setup, I wish they offered it in the US. Threaded 5/8-24 preferably. I have a .308 getting cut and threaded to 16" as we speak.

That’s not cheap. I did the conversion and that rifle is $1,156 American dollars.

A tikka in a straight wall cartridge for us Midwestern folks. That would sell like cotton candy at the fair.

Tikka makes a 350 legend, good to go on that.

 

[bruno747]

A factory threaded 22" 280ai with a peak 44 stock would be killer and Id buy immediately.

Or a t1x in 17wsm.

Rifles (almost everything actually) are expensive in NZ a standard T3X Lite in NZ as about $65USD cheaper so its not really anything I would read into.

A fixed stock springfield waypoint for example in NZ costs 4999NZD or 3110USD.

If it got done in the US I can't imagine it being much more expensive than a standard T3x.

An 18” or 20” threaded stainless T3X in 6mm Creedmoor.

Yes, and please make a few lefty versions of these too!

They make a couple versions chambered in .350 now. Here are the ranch versions, think there are a couple others as well.

Just do what browning did. Make 1 model line of "Suppressor ready" rifles with corresponding barrel lengths and I'd be happy.
223
22 creed
243
6 creed
Etc

 

[ElPollo]

I also agree on the 6 cm chambering.

Would love to see 223 magazines with springs that work for more than a few hundred rounds.

But if there really is a Santa Claus, Tikka would make an ultralight T3x with an actual 223 length action and a short threaded barrel.

 

[Unclecroc]

I’m very patiently waiting for a stainless tikka 6mm creedmoor. I haven’t jumped into the tikka game yet but if they offered this I’d be on it like flies on fresh crap.

Here is your 16” 223. https://www.eurooptic.com/Tikka-T3x...-5-8x24-Bbl-Roughtech-Black-Rifle-JRTXRT.aspx

They have one in 308 too

Unfortunately when tikka makes a barrel/caliber that is what the market wants, they also put it in a *painted* tupperwear stock and charge double for it.

 

[Balderdash]

7 PRC would be great.
