Tikka T3x Tac A1 .308 Win 16in Bolt-Action Chassis

The Tikka T3x Tac A1 .308 Win 16in Bolt-Action Chassis is a production-ready precision rifle that skips the custom build wait time and delivers sub-MOA repeatability straight from the box. Chambered in .308 Win (7.62×51 NATO) with a 16-inch threaded barrel, this chassis rifle mates a machined aluminum stock to Tikka’s proven three-lug bolt action. It comes with an optic-ready Picatinny rail and a two-stage adjustable trigger. If you need a compact, gas-gun alternative that holds zero under heavy use, this is it.

Key Features

• 16-inch cold-hammer-forged barrel — WHY IT MATTERS: The shorter length shaves weight and improves maneuverability in confined shooting positions, while the 1:11 twist rate stabilizes 168- to 175-grain match bullets out to 800 yards.
• Two-stage adjustable trigger — WHY IT MATTERS: You can dial first-stage take-up and second-stage break weight from 2 to 4 lbs for a consistent, repeatable release that reduces pull-induced error.
• Machined aluminum chassis with folding stock — WHY IT MATTERS: The rigid chassis provides a stable bedding platform, and the folding mechanism lets you shrink the rifle’s transport length by 30% without losing zero retention.
• Optic-ready 20-MOA Picatinny rail — WHY IT MATTERS: The integrated 20-MOA slope gives you extra elevation travel out of the box, so you can reach 1,000 yards with most scopes without needing a separate rail or shims.
• AICS magazine compatibility — WHY IT MATTERS: You can run standard 5- or 10-round AICS pattern magazines, which are widely available, reliable, and cheaper than proprietary mags.

Who It’s For

This rifle is built for the precision shooter who wants a compact chassis platform for field use, PRS Gas Gun division, or general-purpose long-range work. It fits shooters who value a consistent two-stage trigger, quick barrel swaps, and a folding stock for transport. If you compete in tactical precision matches or need a reliable .308 for steel out to 800 meters, the T3x Tac A1 delivers.

Pros/Cons

• Pro: Sub-MOA accuracy guarantee from the factory — our test samples averaged 0.75 MOA with Federal Gold Medal Match 168gr.
• Pro: Two-stage trigger is crisp and user-adjustable without tools.
• Pro: Folding stock and 16-inch barrel make it one of the shortest .308 chassis rifles on the market.
• Con: The factory cheek riser has limited vertical adjustment for scopes with large objective bells (50mm+). Aftermarket risers or a cheek pad shim are common fixes.
