Description
For years, the go-to move for precision rifle competitors on a budget was buying a Tikka CTR and dropping it into an aftermarket chassis. Tikka finally cut out the middleman. The T3x ACE Target is a purpose-built match rifle from the factory, and this version pairs a 26 inch heavy contour barrel in 6mm Creedmoor with a sharp Midnight Bronze Cerakote finish. The fast 1:7.5 twist stabilizes the long, high BC bullets that make the 6 Creedmoor such a favorite in PRS and NRL circles, and the cold hammer forged barrel handles heat and holds its harmonics through long strings of fire. The muzzle comes threaded 5/8×24 for your brake or suppressor mount of choice.
A Chassis That Adjusts to You, Not the Other Way Around
The ACE chassis is where this rifle earns its keep. Length of pull, cheek riser height, and recoil pad position are all adjustable, and the skeletonized aluminum buttstock accepts weights if you want to balance the rifle for barricade work. The AR-compatible pistol grip adjusts for both angle and reach to the trigger, and there's a full length ARCA rail underneath plus M-LOK slots for bipods, tripods, and barricade stops. Up top, a factory installed 20 MOA Picatinny rail means your scope bolts right on with room to dial for distance. The interchangeable magwell is a clever touch too, letting the chassis feed from different magazine types, and the whole chassis is compatible with any T3, T3x, or even T1x rimfire barreled action down the road.
Why the T3x ACE Target Runs So Smooth
Tikka actions have a reputation for buttery bolt cycling, and the ACE Target gets the upgraded treatment with a spiral fluted bolt and an oversized knob that's easy to run fast under a big scope. The 60 degree bolt throw clears optics with room to spare, the two-stage trigger breaks clean and predictable, and Tikka backs it all with their accuracy guarantee. It ships with a 10 round metal magazine, so you're ready for a full match stage the day you pick it up. If you've been waiting for a factory rifle that competes without a pile of upgrades, this is the one.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Tikka T3x ACE Target legal for PRS Production or Factory division?
That's exactly what it was designed for. Tikka built the ACE series specifically as a factory-complete option for PRS Factory Division and NRL style competition, so you get a match-capable rifle without needing an aftermarket chassis or trigger work. Just add glass and ammo and you're stage-ready.
Can I put a different Tikka action in the ACE chassis later?
Yes, and it's one of the best features of this platform. The ACE chassis accepts any T3, T3x, or even rimfire T1x barreled action thanks to Tikka's standardized action footprint. The interchangeable magwell system lets the chassis feed from different magazine types, so swapping actions down the road is a realistic option, not just a marketing point.
Why choose 6mm Creedmoor over 6.5 Creedmoor in the T3x ACE Target?
The 6mm Creedmoor is a favorite among match competitors because it delivers noticeably less recoil than the 6.5, which makes it easier to spot your own impacts and stay on target through a stage. The 1:7.5 twist on this 26 inch barrel stabilizes heavy, high BC bullets like 105 to 110 grain match loads. If your primary use is competition or steel at distance, the 6mm is a great pick.
Is the barrel threaded for a suppressor or muzzle brake?
Yes, the muzzle is threaded 5/8×24, which is the standard pitch for most 6mm and 6.5mm brakes and suppressor mounts. A good brake tames the already mild 6 Creedmoor recoil even further, and the heavy contour barrel handles the extra heat from long range sessions well.
