ACCURACYIS THE FIRST PRIORITYThe concept behind Tikka T3 is simple, pure, and perormance-oriented. A rie consistso two components - one made o steel and one made o wood or composite. Forperormance the steel is the more important part, and there we use Sako irons. Thestock must be pleasant to handle and provide a steady and reliable platorm or thesteel to deliver the load. What the Sako gunsmiths did was to go back to basics andtotally rethink the stock.
INCREASING STOCK VALUEWith Tikka T3, the stock concept has been re-considered and designed rom the groundup, to make it the most ecient and economical stock to manuacture. The new stockwas designed in partnership with the world-amous Giugiaro industrial design rm, in
Italy, and the results have been spectacular. Shooters everywhere have told us that thestock delivers the eel o a more expensive rie, at a raction o the cost.
TRUEHEART MEETS TRUEBODYThe T3 barreled action has a solid platorm rom which to perorm, and delivers accuracyunder any conditions. The T3 stock has a rugged, sleek and well-balanced hunter-stylecore design, and is hand-tted to the irons. The marriage o Sako irons with the Tikka T3stock provides shooters with an unparalleled shooting experience.
SO, HOW GOOD IS IT?We welcome rie owners to come out and benchmark the Tikka T3 rie against theirown avorite ries. Theres nothing quite like its perormance. Were certain that whenyou try one, youll see that Tikka T3 is a must-have rie or your collection.SOULBODY
