Tikka rifles are built by Sako in Finland and have earned an outsized reputation for out-of-the-box accuracy, thanks to a tight-tolerance action, a cold-hammer-forged barrel and a genuinely excellent single-stage trigger. The T3x Hunter is the traditional configuration, pairing that action with an oil-finished walnut stock.

This one is chambered in 7mm-08 Remington with a 22-inch threaded barrel, an outstanding all-around deer and antelope combination that gives up very little to larger cartridges while producing noticeably less recoil. The threaded muzzle makes suppressor use straightforward. Tikka's slick bolt throw is something you notice within the first few cycles.
