About This Firearm
The Tikka T3x Lite is a synthetic-stocked bolt-action 7mm Remington Magnum built for carrying a magnum on foot, and it is made in Finland. This build pairs a stainless barrel with the modular synthetic stock at 6.61 lbs, which is a light rifle to be firing a magnum cartridge out of.
The muzzle on this 24.4-inch barrel has no thread, so a brake or a suppressor means barrel work; Tikka's shorter 569 mm 7mm barrel is the one that comes threaded. The receiver top is Tikka's own 17 mm rail, which takes Tikka- and Sako-pattern mounts and nothing else. No open sights are fitted. Three rounds go in the magazine, and the single-stage trigger comes set at 3 lbs.
If you're cross-shopping, the Bergara B-14 Ridge has an MSRP of $999 with a sub-MOA accuracy guarantee and 1.09 lbs more weight, on a 700-pattern receiver that takes cheap rails. The Browning X-Bolt Hunter is a used buy in walnut, 0.39 lbs heavier, with a detachable rotary magazine and 1.6 inches more barrel. The Tikka weighs 6.61 lbs against both of those, and its 17 mm rail takes only Tikka- and Sako-pattern mounts, which cost more than 700-pattern rails.

Strengths & Limitations
- A 2.5 mm Allen key down the magazine well changes the trigger weight without the action leaving the stock.
- Tikka lists right- and left-hand 7mm Rem Mag builds, in blued and stainless.
- The stock is modular, so the pistol grip shape and the recoil pad can be changed for factory parts.
- Nothing but Tikka and Sako mounts fit the rail, and they cost more than the rails sold for 700-pattern receivers.
- Fitting the stock to a shorter shooter means buying spacers and trying them.
- A magnum in a 6.61 lb rifle with no brake and no thread for one is a hard-recoiling combination.
