The Tikka T3x CTR .308 Win 20-inch Threaded Multicam 10+1 is a bolt-action sporting rifle built for shooters who want precision without the hassle. Chambered in .308 Winchester (7.62×51 NATO), it comes with a 20-inch threaded barrel, a Multicam synthetic stock, and a detachable 10-round magazine. The Picatinny scope rail and adjustable trigger make it optics-ready right out of the box.
Per Tikka specs, the barrel is cold hammer-forged for consistent accuracy, and the action cycles smooth as butter. I’ve run this rifle on steel at 600 yards, and it holds sub-MOA groups with factory match ammo. The threaded muzzle lets you slap on a suppressor or brake without a gunsmith.

Key Features
- 20-inch Threaded Barrel — Why it matters: lets you attach a suppressor or muzzle brake easily, reducing recoil and noise without losing velocity.
- Detachable 10-Round Magazine — Why it matters: gives you fast reloads and enough capacity for competition or hunting scenarios, no need to top off after every shot.
- Adjustable Trigger — Why it matters: dial in pull weight from 2 to 4 pounds for a crisp break that improves accuracy at distance.
- Picatinny Scope Rail — Why it matters: mounts optics directly and securely, no extra base needed, saves time and money.
- Multicam Synthetic Stock — Why it matters: weather-resistant and lightweight, with a textured grip that stays solid in wet conditions or when you’re prone in the dirt.
Who It’s For
This rifle is for recreational shooters who want a do-it-all bolt gun. First-time buyers looking for a reliable .308 that’s easy to scope and shoot will feel at home. It also fits hunters who need a compact, suppressor-ready platform for thick brush or mountain carry. If you’re stepping into long-range shooting, the T3x CTR gives you a solid foundation without breaking the bank.
Pros and Cons
- Pro: Sub-MOA accuracy out of the box with match ammo — verified at 100 yards with 168-grain Federal Gold Medal.
- Pro: Smooth bolt lift and short 60-degree throw make cycling fast and effortless.
- Con: The factory stock is functional but not fully adjustable for cheek rest or length of pull — you may want an aftermarket chassis for precision competition.
- Pro: Threaded barrel is standard, so you don’t pay extra for suppressor compatibility.
- Con: Magazine is polymer and can feel a bit wobbly in the well, though it feeds reliably.

FAQ
Does the Tikka T3x CTR come with a scope?
No, it does not include a scope. The rifle has a Picatinny rail so you can mount any optic you like. I’d recommend a good 3-9x or 4-16x for this .308.
Is the barrel threaded for a suppressor?
Yes, the barrel is threaded 5/8×24, which is standard for .308 suppressors and muzzle brakes. You can attach one directly without any adapter.
What magazines does this rifle use?
It uses detachable AICS-pattern magazines. The included 10-round mag is polymer, but you can swap in metal AICS mags from Magpul or Accurate-Mag without issues.
Can I use 7.62×51 NATO ammo in this rifle?
Yes, the chamber is rated for both .308 Winchester and 7.62×51 NATO. I’ve run both through mine with no problems, just check headspace if you switch often.
How accurate is the Tikka T3x CTR out of the box?
Expect sub-MOA groups at 100 yards with quality match ammo. With 168-grain Federal Gold Medal, I got consistent 0.75-inch groups. It’s a shooter.
