About the Tikka T3x UPR
The Tikka T3x UPR (Ultimate Precision Rifle) is a Finnish-made precision bolt-action rifle designed to bridge the gap between lightweight sporting rifles and heavy tactical chassis systems. Built on the proven T3x action with a cold hammer forged barrel, the UPR features a purpose-designed polymer stock with an integrated vertical pistol grip, adjustable cheek piece, and QD sling attachment points. The 24.3-inch threaded barrel with 5/8x24 muzzle threading is optimized for both precision shooting and suppressor use. With a 10-round magazine capacity and sub-MOA accuracy guarantee, the UPR offers serious precision rifle capability at a competitive price point.
Tikka rifles are manufactured by Sako Ltd in Riihimaki, Finland, where the extreme Nordic climate provides a natural testing environment for firearms durability. The T3x UPR represents Tikka's philosophy of providing maximum capability per dollar, delivering accuracy that rivals rifles costing two to three times as much -- a trait that has made the T3x platform one of the most popular precision rifle actions in the world for custom builds.

The T3x UPR was introduced in 2023 as Tikka's answer to the growing demand for precision-oriented rifles that remain light and portable enough for field use. The stock design incorporates a vertical pistol grip angle and adjustable cheek piece hardware that mimics the ergonomics of chassis-style rifles while maintaining the lighter weight of a conventional stock. Available in .223 Remington, .308 Winchester, and 6.5 Creedmoor. The T3x action features a two-lug bolt design with a 70-degree bolt lift. The UPR name stands for Ultimate Precision Rifle, positioning it as the most accuracy-focused model in the T3x lineup outside of the chassis-based TAC A1.
