Tikka T3X TAC A1 Bolt Action Rifle 7.62 NATO 16" Barrel (1)-10Rd Magazine Picatinny Mount Black Modular Folding Stock Black Finish
Special development for law enforcement sniper application. The rifle is based on Sako’s famous Tikka T3 bolt action construction but made to meet the challenging requirements of long-range tactical shooting. The T3x TACT A1 provides straight-forward performance and ruggedness with just the right amount of adjustability and absolute precision, all in a light-weight and compact package. The aluminum chassis stock system offers a foldable rear stock with quick adjustable cheek piece and adjustable length of pull. Picatinny rail on the receiver provides a solid platform for day scope mounting and an AR-type for-end for NVD, LAD, and other accessories. The muzzle is threaded (M18x1) for attaching a muzzle brake and/or a suppressor. Silky smooth bolt operation provides flawless feeding from the steel box magazines. The aluminum chassis stock system is compatible with most common AR-15 type fore-ends, pistol grips, and rear stocks, making the rifle fully modular for all operational requirements.

The 7.62X51mm NATO cartridge was adopted by the U.S. in the M14 rifle in 1957. NATO adopted it in the same year, but in other platforms. The 7.62X51mm is essentially a shortened 30-06 case, allowing a more compact action and more compact ammunition at very minor cost in performance. A side benefit--which might not have been anticipated--is improved accuracy because of the greater efficiency of the shorter case. Although 7.62X51mm has been largely supplanted by the 5.56X45mm NATO cartridge in service rifles, it is still widely used by militaries around the world and remains a primary cartridge for light and medium machineguns. Due to its exceptional accuracy it is also a very common cartridge for military sniping at ranges to a bit beyond 1000 yards. The civilian version, the 308 Winchester, was introduced in 1952 while the 7.62X51MM was still in the experimental stages. — Craig Boddington
