New Tikka Rifles Shot Show 2024

[Mulyhuntr]

There’s other options that are just as light and accurate or more so and you don’t have to deal with slow barrels that aren’t thick enough to properly thread, shitty magazines, terrible customer service, and low aftermarket support.

Tikkas aren't slow. 3050 in a 243 (22") with 108 eldm is slow? I've been able to achieve expected or greater velocity in every tikka I own.

2740 with 147 eldm and 41.5 rl16
2900 with 75 eldm and 23.9 h4895
2680 with 147 eldm and 42.1 h4350 in a CTR

Even if they are slow, who cares anyways. Every one of the six I have is capable of sub-.5" 5-shot groups.

I talked to Euro Optic and they have some UPRs coming in. The UPR flies under the radar but has a fantastic stock and a CTR barreled action/barrel contour.

There were a few 6.5 PRCs in the UPR on Euro last year. I regret jumping on one.

The UPR stock is a better hunting stock than the Bravo. I sold my Bravo. I’m not sure what the Rokstok has going over the UPR stock.

Haven't used the stock and not knocking it but to answer your question of what the rokstok has over the upr stock is above bore centre line negative comb, a fully flat bag rider section from the grip back and parallel forend

Just read through the thread and will try to swing by the Beretta booth again tomorrow to try to answer some of the questions.

Tikka is missing the boat not chambering the 6 Creed. Heck now that the 22 Creed is Sammi it would be sweet if they would chamber the 22 Creed also.

Those two and my 223 would cover all of my rifle needs in the household, I would probably get 2 6creeds, and a 22creed, I hope they at least get on the 6creed and I can turn the 308 into a 22creed…

Wishful thinking. He is still posting in other threads. I honestly find the little kid on the bike to be sort of entertaining. It’s kind of like watching those fail videos on YouTube where people violently wreck and smack themselves in the nutz.

This went off the rails, let’s move on from the drama.

I’ve always wondered why they don’t make a real short action. It’s a different set of numbers to put in the CNC machine, that’s about it. Of course there must be a good reason, one that escapes me.

I don’t care so much about the short action, but I’d really love to see an ultralight Tikka mini action for 223, 22 arc, and 6 arc. Doubt it’ll ever happen, but that would be a holy grail kind of gun for me.

You didn’t even mention the trolls.

Wanted to make certain my thoughts were posted in this thread in-law well:

New Tikkas missed the mark by light years. Don’t feel bad.

Buy an original and use it as a donor as Tikka chooses not to design, engineer or manufacture all of their rifles correctly.

They’re SO close! That said, fail to close. Pathetic. Sad.

Must be disgusting to be an engineer or manager unable to provide a solution.

 

[Krumfola]

Pretty frustrating to NOT see a 7PRC nor 6CM option after a dozen or more other manufacturers have had them
available for months. Been holding out before rebarreling my T3x or just selling it and going with a custom action. I love the 60 degree bolt, the trigger, and I even like the stock just fine with the vertical grip.

I thought ive seen tikka/sako reps mention that tikka was supposed to be their entry level one-size fits all option but it has taken some of the sako market share so they preferred to keep skus down and let sako be the more "tailored" option.

Gotta admit, being an owner of near entirely soul less metal, plastic, and composite rifles, a model 90 sako in wood like this calls to me a bit. https://www.eurooptic.com/Sako-90-H...bl-RH-Wood-Optilock-Rifle-JRS90HUN315-20.aspx

Outside of the aesthetic and lack of plastic on the Sako 90’s, is the action (or any Sako action for that matter) actually an improvement over a Tikka t3x action in any way/shape/form?

Ditto above—the reason tikka’s are as inexpensive as they are, is BECAUSE they utilize one action size for everything to minimize tooling costs, down time when switching over to different sizes or actions, etc and maximize production capacity and flexibility. Asking for multiple action sizes is literally asking for a significant price jump across the board on all tikkas.

Not perfect for every application but I really like that I can swap to any standard bolt face cartridge with just a mag and bolt stop.

I appreciate pretty guns, I’m just not responsible enough to own them.
