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.

My first tikka modification was to install a threaded 6mm creed barrel on a gunbroker auction T3x action deal. Then I went on to purchase take off barrels 6.5 creed and 6.5 prc for $150 or less, chop them and install them on other actions. I have a T3 action 270wsm that my dad left for me which carries the prc barrel. I’ll eventually have them threaded and suppressed. I wonder what percentage of their market is guys buying their rifles to modify them.

You can't have a Sako for Tikka prices. Just buy the Sako if you want a better rifle than Tikka. What do you want for a grand?

T2X.

An actual short action.

This is already in their Sako line. They will likely not be bringing this to their budget line.

From an outsider, Bergara seems like Tikka’s most direct international competitor. However, Bergara has been much more willing to modernize their lines of rifles (for better or worse). I too am looking forward to SHOT Show to see if Tikka releases anything new and exciting.
