Tikka UPR Love

[General RE LEE]

I just want to confess I love the Tikka UPR as a hunting rifle. It checks all the boxes for me. The 20” barrel is compact, stock is excellent ergonomically for short and long range work and the palm swell and grip gets my hand in a great position. It is about 10.5 lbs with scope so the weight makes it a steady platform without it being too heavy. It’s a CTR barreled action, so the barrel contour is thicker than the T3x. Allows for longer shot strings before groups open up. Highly recommend

Those do seem like handy rifles for multi purpose use.

It appears Tikka might have discontinued the stainless variety, as I don’t see any for sale..only blued with a tan stock.

Thats a Nice stick for sure..

Looks a lot like a Sako S20

How many T3X "lighter" barrels have you shot that open up when they get hot?

Oh about 5 or 6 that I’ve owned. You can’t shoot 10-15 shot strings with a 30-06 Superlite.

Better texture stock. S20 stock is slick but does have more adjustability.

Nice rifles but too heavy for my style of hunting.

If this ever comes available, I’m jumping on it. Euro Optic had a few come in last year. Excellent stock with a 20 MOA rail included. My 6.5 CM UPR is my favorite rifle and running it completely stock.
