--------------------------------------------
We managed to get our hands first on new Tikka T3x TAC A1 308Win - published in SHOT 2017.
Rifle is factory test mule, unknown amount of shots behind.
Barrel 20" long, total lenght stock folded about 74cm or 29".
We do not know if this individual rifle is 100% final production version, but at least it is close.
Video is rather short, pure shooting without comments- sorry! Its short simply because we did not have remaining daylight time for anyhing else but fast shooting and hauling cameras to different targets. In fact, we had to set fire to get even some light for close-up filming.
If you want to hear comments, there are plenty of indoor filmed "hands on" vids here. We prefer to shoot and let people draw their own conclusions.
If rifle should be described with three words, it is solid, smooth and accurate. We will surely get one for ourselves too :-)

[@millenbauer]

Then the men gathered around the fire and cooked the metal plate they had killed...

[@FinnAccuracycom]

Actually, we ran out of daylight and did not have lights with us... so..

I find AR 500 can be tough if over cooked!

[@jeremy31326]

Absolutely sick! You guys are truly blessed. And extremely talented. Great shooting. Congrats on such a great rig and being on point!

[@tdotson66]

Fantastic video!!! Beautiful countryside and an awesome rifle......what more could a shooter ask for! Thanks for posting.

[@FinnAccuracycom]

Unlimited free ammo..? Just kidding, thanks for checking out our vid!

[@chadkeech226]

Absolutely love the fact that this is a 308! Badass

[@bwiesman]

Great shooting!! I have the a1 in 308 and consistently shooting 6-10” groups at 1000 (made a video of it also). I love my Tikka!

[@fuellifetv2934]

what ammunition are you using for that im still working out what my .308 likes im playing with 168gr and 175gr

[@bwiesman]

@@fuellifetv2934 175gr federal match Sierra projectiles. I’ve tried everything even heavier and this round is far superior in my Tikka.

[@Plainsimple67]

THAT CAMP FIRE IS TO DIE FOR.

[@hope121107]

Beautiful country! Love to be there shooting in it!

[@moneyx3232]

simply amazing, no caption needed

[@FinnAccuracycom]

We leave blabla to other channels. Lets let the guns do the talking huh? :)

[@reidt9155]

Great video, can't wait to get my hands on one

[@grappolidipalma]

I like the 24' barrel in 6,5 Creedmoor Big Time...

[@tundraotto]

Korkeaa standardia kaikilta puolin. Hienoa, Kiitos.

[@JimmyHondaRacing12]

nice video! loved the ending.

[@pwleppa]

Hyvä video. A great video. Sehr gut gemacht. Danke.

[@RSLtreecare]

This looks very interesting, nice video.

[@Redeemed_Team]

That was fun to watch ! Nice touch

[@Safestassets]

Excellent video guys!

[@FinnAccuracycom]

Safest Assets Thanks!

[@normferguson2769]

I love my T3 in 223 cal. The bolt rides on magic fluid compared to American (and Japanese) bolt actions.

[@altimaxfresser]

very cool video, in all means :) ... tikka and MSR is always a winning mix ...+1 for you guys!

[@FinnAccuracycom]

Thanks! I think we will stick with pure sound vids - too much unnecessary BS babble in almost all KZbin vids..

[@bbeauclerc7438]

Superbe vidéo !! J'ai la même, j'adore cette arme! Salut de la France

[@jimb7710]

Great video, one of most artistic KZbin videos.

Incredible shooting! Where do I sign up for lessons?

[@seraphimcombat4884]

I have the 16” version amazing gun, god bless the Finland and her people

[@FinnAccuracycom]

Thanks - for watching too! :)

[@Britishshooter]

Great shooting ! Interesting that they chose the 20 inch barrel, looks really cool with a short suppressor.

[@FinnAccuracycom]

Stubby package, even with suppressor. Shot really well too!

[@SCQT]

Love this rifle so much. Easily my favorite to shoot, its just so effective its nutty. I am however in desperate need of a suppressor.

[@FinnAccuracycom]

All rifles should be suppressed we think :)

[@Jess-db3yf]

Nice vid!

[@markovfishskinz]

Finland make great receivers for the valmet and in 308 its great for the follow up shot if the first fails , parker hale made the best brake to fit muzzle, i pulled a five inch group at 1000 yards using FN LAR no scope only peep sight, at murray bridge army range south australia.

[@FinnAccuracycom]

Elders can be true performers as well, done in times when machining costs were not first thing to reduce :)

[@LionheartSJZ]

Amazing gun! Watching videos about it while saving money to buy it :)

[@FinnAccuracycom]

Sounds like a good plan!

[@HighPriestVaticanAssasin]

beautiful landscape, equipment and performance. definitely getting myself a Tikka. it's either that or buy another action and replace the barrel. I'll go with the Tikka.

[@FinnAccuracycom]

There are many good rifles out there, from several manufacturers. But you still cant go wrong with Tikka. Amazing barrels, very good triggers from factory box.

[@markovfishskinz]

Great rig , well done.

[@FinnAccuracycom]

Thanks for watching!

[@justsomeone899]

I‘m not sure if i should get it in 308 win or 6.5 creedmoor.. any advice? Range 300-800m, suppressor illegal in my country

[@gityerkneedahn]

Great to see a video of this in .308, really like the look of the 20" bbl. You may have me sold over 6.5cm!

[@FinnAccuracycom]

Both work fine - and good ol 308 hits harder :)

[@useryggfdcc]

@@FinnAccuracycom.308 is my caliber. After that 30-06.

[@Big_Red_Dork]

@@FinnAccuracycom actually past 300? Maybe 400m? I can't remember exactly but the creedmoor actually has more energy delivered to the target than .308 or .30-06

[@chrishoesel]

I've been having a blast with my 20" CTR at 1000 yds. I leave my 6.5 cheatmoor at home now. LMT in .308 also to 900 consistently. Makes a beautiful sound when it hits. Not so, with those wimpy 6.5 bullets.

[@johngreen9946]

I want to try this Tikka / Steiner combination.

[@chrishoesel]

...and one final love-tap in the rear. Just to make sure. :-) Beautiful video.

[@fuellifetv2934]

what ammunition are you using for that im still working out what my .308 likes im playing with 168gr and 175gr

[@paulh.2144]

Awesome!!!!

[@chris-sf5uy]

Great video boys ...😎

[@FinnAccuracycom]

Thanks! And thanks for watching!

[@SimPitTech]

yep, this thing is absolutely the best rifle I ever shot. literally our of the box 0.5 moa group @100m with off the shelf H edl-x and 0.25 groups are nothing rare with the stock ammo. well done guys

[@bitemehard8209]

tzahry I have a RPR in 6.5cm, shoots .2 MRAD 10 shot groups with factory H 140 ELD-M all day long. I regularly shoot out to 1300 yrds. I picked up a Tikka T3X TAC just for the fun of it a few weeks ago.... RPR is now up for sale ;-).

[@FinnAccuracycom]

Sako / Tikka surely makes excellent barrels. I dont believe anyone else can mass-produce such quality.

[@opmdevil]

Is this how good for moose hunting. I like the pistol grip because it is easier for me to lift and aim. I am thinking about the weigth.

[@stealthandysteath1069]

Morning 😁. Great video buddy. Love ya cam your wearing. Great setup. Thanks for sharing mate an ya time buddy 😁. ATB

[@FinnAccuracycom]

Thanks, we appreciate it. Its actually winter camo used by Finnish army.

[@henrikarvidsson9830]

Is the stainer M5Xi 3-15x50 MSR worth getting? It will be used for hunting and medium range shooting. Sometimes maybe up to 500m. It will be mounted on a Tikka T3x Tactical .308 Thanks.

[@FinnAccuracycom]

I can not see why not. Sturdy military scope, surely works for hunting too. After all, only principle difference between hunting and mil- use is that game is shooting back.. :)

[@boacquy9353]

Wao....so good...👍👍👍👍

[@user-gd7fx4jf5c]

I really want to get one chambered in .223 with a beautiful piece of Deutsche glass on top 😉

[@GroomsJk]

Awesome!

[@FinnAccuracycom]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@ryanjennings6541]

How many times have we cut the chain and keep shooting it . I think its more fun shooting at a swinging / spinning target ...

[@FinnAccuracycom]

Seem to be trend in our vids.. :) kzbin.info/www/bejne/sH3Ofnh4r5h0idU

[@Caku974]

How much does that barrel weigh ?

[@KeystoneTexan]

That’s some awesome shooting! But...I have one question...why is the scope mounted so high?

[@FinnAccuracycom]

Its set up for clip-on night vision. Some of them require taller scope mounting.

[@DaySleeper403]

Sir, if I may ask, what is the height of the rings you used? I will be using this exact combination. Thank you.

[@FinnAccuracycom]

Its Sako Tactical 3-ring mount with extra (sako) spacers between rings and mount. Height needed with some clip-on nightvisions.

[@stevecochran9078]

Great video. My favorite hunting rifle is a Tikka T3 Lite. I've put the T3 Tactical on my list for a precision rifle. BTW, I'm really diggin' that winter camo. That would be perfect for predator hunting/calling in taiga forests. Have a good recommended source where I could buy it?

Thank you Sir. I appreciate the help.

[@vickybagra889]

Nice gun bro nice shooter

[@FinnAccuracycom]

Thanks! And thanks for watching!

[@Gotmeatpetsupplies]

What scope you running?

[@johnfila6480]

tikka and steiner are a good pair

[@FinnAccuracycom]

Cant disagree with that :)

[@tundraotto]

Little surprised the velocity was not higher - especially in the cold and the suppressor? Are you going to bump up the load a little to get to 2700fps+

[@FinnAccuracycom]

tundraotto its pretty normal for factory load with 20" barrel. Ammo came with rifle so we used it. I would probably give 155gr Scenars a try.

[@tundraotto]

Yes - I missed the part about being factory load. My bad. Good work guys.

[@pxycopath871]

hyvä osuma !

[@jamesgrant9377]

6.5mm? Awesome video! Trying to purchase one of these in New Zealand!

[@FinnAccuracycom]

James Grant this was 308 - but now 6.5 has been delivered too already. Very good accuracy with those as well.

[@jamesgrant9377]

Awesome, off to see if I can find one today! I know theres one .308 available but really want that 6.5mm

[@kravanamjesecu]

Tikka T3 owner here,just passing a comment... 😎

[@FinnAccuracycom]

Thanks for watching!

[@Tikkashooterdk]

Nice film and nice gun.(must have).. :-) Can you maybe make a review of the Steiner scope...? Thinking of buying one....

[@FinnAccuracycom]

Tikkashooter. dk good idea. But small problem with Steiner M5Xi particulary is that our camera adapter does not fit on it. Were working on it!

[@badass77bowtie]

I have a t5xi 5x25x56 on mine. Wow. Love it. My next rifle will be a .338 or .50 ill be putting the M5xi on that.

[@normann4016]

Nice report, good shooting grouping and terve, terve BUT...you forgot to mention the rifle caliber...

[@nicoplozzer5133]

Hi guys, can i ask you what tipe of suppressor you use in the video? Im searching something quiet but not too big at all ... for 308 Thank you

Its Ase Utra SL5i - www.aseutra.fi

I have a silencerco sakr coming for mine

[@teambennett3060]

Doese the folding stock lock in the open position to?

[@FinnAccuracycom]

Hmm. I recall it does, not with button but with friction. Stays opened either way.

[@tar6805]

How come every country has better shooting laws and facilities than us in Canada? I have to drive 60 miles just shoot 75 meters ! And God , no suppressors that's automatic jail time.

[@samesaw]

I think this rifle in .338 Lapua would be a hot seller.

[@grappolidipalma]

Sir... There is the version 24' barrel in 6,5 Creedmoor; even better for "civilian long range shooters".

[@FinnAccuracycom]

It might be actually

@@bobbyyh00 thanks alot for the info!

[@Procharged32]

Could the scope be mounted lower, excellent video.

[@grappolidipalma]

Why? Do you like to have mirages?!

[@FinnAccuracycom]

Rifle + scope was set up for clip-on nightvisions too. Unnecessary high mounting for normal use indeed.

[@badass77bowtie]

Spuhr 1 piece mount us the way to go

[@UnclePutte]

Is of Finnish joke! Put ugliest guy behind the rifle, get better accuracy - bullet will make extra effort to get away faster, and thus acquire higher velocity and better results. I call it the Steve Buscemi method of marksmanship. N-no wait stop, don't aim that at m-

[@FinnAccuracycom]

Imagine, I am not even ugliest in my hometown. Let that sink a while. :)

[@UnclePutte]

[@JGF6237]

Can you tell me about the mount for the TRG bipod, and what height the rings are for that scope. It appears to still have about 10mm of space on between the front objective and the forward rail.

[@FinnAccuracycom]

Its Sako TRG 22/42 newer M08 design bipod. We make and sell picatinny adapter ourself- go www.finnaccuracy.com -> search "adapter"

[@michaelgides4278]

[@JGF6237]

Go to , rifle-precision-system.com Ithink that bipod is on of theirs and they make a piccatinny spigot mount . They make nice stuff!!!

[@FinnAccuracycom]

@@JGF6237 Nope, it is Sako TRG original bipod with our own adaptor. Available in our webshop www.finnaccuracy.com

[@TOKTOM119]

This rifle should be better than the RPR rifle.

[@2whl4re]

...the Ruger Precision Rifle rifle? You must work in the Department of Redundancy Department

[@dicktheaspergeron4988]

It IS better than the RPR, the Tikka action is second to none. Great shooting guys, superb.

[@billyroque7857]

Is this a bull barrel or is one available, that you know of in 6.5 Creedmoor? Good shooting regardless of your claims. 500 plus yards in the snow is nothing to sneeze at.

[@FinnAccuracycom]

Billy Roque , as far as I know, 6.5 CM is available as one lenght and contour only. I would believe barrel OD will be around 21mm from muzzle. Lenght 24" if my memory serves me. See www.tikka.fi

[@FinnAccuracycom]

Don Parmezano, thread surely looked identical to me. So I would say yes.

[@Vaykor007]

Yes you can

[@M855A1]

are the bullets going through the metal plate??

[@FinnAccuracycom]

Aluminium round one, yes. Other plates are Ruukki RAEX armor steel.

[@TheMwarrior50]

What caliber is it in?

[@badass77bowtie]

This is .308 they come in 6.5 and 260 too i believe

[@FinnAccuracycom]

Yes. 308. With Sako 168gr Racehead load = SMK 168

[@crafter170]

Cant go wrong with a Tikka .Nice shooting there .No wonder the Russians army was stopped dead in Finland....Good riflemen over there.

[@kramotakra]

no need for 175 at those distances eh?

[@FinnAccuracycom]

kramotakra no. in fact, 155gr is my bullet of choice up to 1000m or little over. MV, G7 and ballistic software will tell the truth ;)

[@kramotakra]

what muzzle velocity out of this 20"? No benefit with 155 over 175 unless over 2700fps maybe?

[@FinnAccuracycom]

kramotakra see vid texts and written description.
