Key Features
Robust Roughtech Stock
The T3x Lite Roughtech Desert features an advanced Roughtech synthetic stock, providing an exceptionally secure grip across all weather conditions. Its unique textured surface mitigates hand slip, ensuring positive weapon control. The stock design incorporates a recoil-absorbing pad, effectively reducing felt recoil and allowing for faster follow-up shot acquisition. The Desert finish offers practical camouflage in arid or open terrain.
Precision Barrel and Receiver
Central to the rifle’s performance is its cold hammer-forged, 22-inch barrel. This manufacturing process ensures superior bore uniformity and concentricity, contributing to consistent sub-MOA precision. The barrel’s fluted profile reduces overall weight and enhances heat dissipation without compromising rigidity. The steel receiver is drilled and tapped, providing a secure and stable platform for direct optics mounting. An enlarged ejection port facilitates reliable spent casing extraction.
Smooth Action and Trigger System
The T3x action features a two-lug bolt with a 70-degree lift, ensuring rapid and unobstructed cycling, even with oversized optics. The bolt’s smooth operation and Sako-style extractor promote reliable feeding and consistent ejection. The single-stage trigger is user-adjustable from 2 to 4 pounds, offering a crisp, predictable break that is essential for precision shot placement.
