Overview
The Tikka T3x Lite Roughtech Ember in .308 Winchester, configured for left-hand operation, is a precision-engineered bolt-action rifle designed for demanding field conditions and consistent accuracy. Building on the proven T3x platform, this variant integrates a lightweight profile with a durable, textured Roughtech stock, providing enhanced grip and reduced felt recoil. It is a utility-focused instrument for the discerning hunter or shooter requiring reliable performance and precise shot placement.
Key Features
T3x Receiver Design
The T3x receiver is precision-machined from solid steel, ensuring rigidity and consistent bedding for optimal accuracy. It features a widened angular ejection port for reliable spent casing expulsion. The receiver incorporates an 11mm dovetail rail and is also drilled and tapped for direct Picatinny scope base attachment, facilitating secure optics integration. A robust steel recoil lug is integrated, enhancing stability during firing and contributing to repeatable accuracy.
Roughtech Stock
The synthetic Roughtech stock features a rough, tactile surface texture, providing a secure grip in adverse conditions. This construction mitigates flex and maintains a stable platform. The Ember finish presents a distinct aesthetic while maintaining the stock’s operational integrity. The modular stock system allows for interchangeable pistol grips (sold separately) to adjust shooting posture, and a silent material blend reduces stock-generated noise during movement.
Cold Hammer-Forged Barrel
This T3x model features a cold hammer-forged barrel, a manufacturing process known for producing durable, precise, and consistent rifling. The barrel geometry is optimized for the .308 Winchester cartridge, ensuring stable projectile flight. A fluted barrel profile reduces overall weight while maintaining rigidity and aiding in heat dissipation during sustained firing sequences. Muzzle threading is standard, allowing for the integration of suppressors or muzzle brakes.
Adjustable Trigger Mechanism
The single-stage trigger mechanism is crisp and user-adjustable from 2 to 4 lbs (1 to 2 kg), enabling operators to fine-tune pull weight for precise shot execution. This adjustability ensures control and minimizes shooter-induced deviation.
Smooth Bolt Operation and Feeding
The T3x bolt features a two-lug design with a short 70-degree throw, facilitating rapid cycling and maintaining clearance for larger optics. The left-hand configuration ensures ergonomic and efficient manipulation for left-handed shooters. The detachable box magazine ensures reliable feeding of cartridges.
Enhanced Modularity and Durability
The T3x platform incorporates a modular construction that allows for component customization. The robust design and quality materials contribute to long-term reliability and resistance to environmental stressors inherent in field use.
