Description
There's something about a walnut-stocked bolt gun that just feels right in the hands, and Tikka nailed it with the T3x Hunter. This one comes chambered in .350 Legend, the straight-wall cartridge that has become a go-to for whitetail hunters who want solid knockdown power with recoil that won't beat you up. The 16-inch barrel keeps the whole package short and quick to swing, which you will appreciate the first time you shoulder it inside a box blind or thread your way through thick timber.
What Makes the T3x Hunter Worth a Look
The barrel is cold hammer-forged, fluted to trim weight, and threaded 5/8×24 at the muzzle, so adding a suppressor or brake is as easy as spinning it on. Pair a can with the mild-mannered .350 Legend and you get one of the most pleasant hunting rifles you will ever shoot. The 1:16 twist stabilizes common .350 Legend bullet weights well, and Tikka's reputation for out-of-the-box accuracy is well earned. The single-stage trigger is crisp and adjustable, the two-position safety locks both the trigger and bolt handle, and the bolt runs with that slick, glass-smooth feel Tikka owners never stop bragging about.
Walnut Stock, Real Field Manners
The oiled walnut stock wears traditional checkering at the grip and forend, so it looks like a proper hunting rifle and hangs on when your gloves are wet. Matte blued metal keeps glare down in the field. At around 6.75 pounds bare, it carries easily on long walks but has enough heft to settle down on the shooting sticks. There are no iron sights, and the receiver is drilled and tapped over Tikka's dovetail, so mounting a scope is simple with widely available rings and bases.
Feeding the Tikka T3x Hunter
A detachable box magazine gives you 3+1 capacity, which is plenty for deer season, and the flush-fit design keeps the profile clean. If you have been eyeing a straight-wall rifle that shoots like a Tikka and looks like a rifle should, this one deserves a spot near the top of your list.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Tikka T3x Hunter .350 Legend suppressor ready?
Yes. The muzzle is factory threaded 5/8×24, which is the standard pitch for most .30 caliber and larger suppressors and muzzle devices. The .350 Legend is already a mild, moderate-pressure cartridge, so adding a can makes this rifle remarkably quiet and comfortable to shoot.
Does this rifle come with sights or a scope rail?
No iron sights are included. The receiver features Tikka's integral dovetail and is also drilled and tapped, so you can run Tikka dovetail rings or bolt on a Picatinny base. Rings and bases for the T3x are easy to find from Tikka, Talley, Warne, and plenty of others.
Why choose .350 Legend with a 16-inch barrel?
The .350 Legend was designed to burn efficiently in shorter barrels, so you give up very little velocity compared to a 20-inch tube. The payoff is a shorter, lighter rifle that handles beautifully in blinds, tree stands, and thick cover. It also hits deer-sized game hard inside typical woods ranges with noticeably less recoil than cartridges like the .450 Bushmaster.
Is the trigger on the T3x Hunter adjustable?
It is. Tikka ships the T3x with a crisp single-stage trigger that the user can adjust for pull weight within the factory range. Most folks find it plenty good straight out of the box, which is a big part of why these rifles have such a strong accuracy reputation.
