Tikka T3x Hunter 30-06 22″ Threaded Walnut/Stainless

The Tikka T3x Hunter 30-06 22″ Threaded Walnut/Stainless is a full-size bolt-action sporting rifle that pairs a fluted, threaded 22″ barrel with a drilled-and-tapped stainless receiver and a fixed oiled walnut stock. Chambered in .30-06 Springfield, it ships configured for right-hand operation and uses a detachable 3-round magazine. Metal components are stainless finished to improve corrosion resistance in field conditions.

Key Features

• Fluted, Threaded 22″ Barrel — The fluting reduces barrel weight and dissipates heat faster during extended strings, while the 5/8×24 threading lets you mount a suppressor or muzzle brake without a gunsmith. Why it matters: you get faster follow-up shots and quieter field hunting.
• Stainless Receiver and Barrel — The stainless finish resists rust and corrosion in wet, salty, or high-humidity environments. Why it matters: this rifle stays reliable through rain, snow, and coastal hunts.
• Oiled Walnut Stock — Fixed, traditional walnut stock with a satin oil finish provides a warm, stable feel and natural recoil damping. Why it matters: you get classic handling with less felt recoil than synthetic stocks.
• Drilled-and-Tapped Receiver — Pre-drilled and tapped for scope bases, so you can mount optics immediately without extra machining. Why it matters: saves you time and money on gunsmithing.
• Detachable 3-Round Magazine — Polymer magazine with steel feed lips allows quick reloads and easy unloading. Why it matters: you can clear the chamber without cycling rounds through the action.

Who It’s For

This rifle is built for the hunter who wants a traditional, reliable bolt gun for deer, elk, and black bear at ranges out to 400 yards. It’s also a solid choice for the precision shooter who appreciates a stainless, threaded barrel for suppressor use and a walnut stock that doesn’t need bedding.

Pros & Cons

• Pro: Stainless construction handles wet weather without rust.
• Pro: Threaded barrel accepts standard 5/8×24 muzzle devices.
• Pro: Tikka’s smooth bolt lift and crisp trigger (adjustable 2–4 lbs) are factory-ready for accuracy.
• Con: The fixed walnut stock lacks an adjustable cheek rest, so tall scopes may require a cheek pad for proper eye alignment.

FAQ

Is the barrel threaded, and what thread pitch does it use?

Yes, the barrel is threaded 5/8×24, standard for .30 caliber suppressors and muzzle brakes. It comes with a thread protector installed.

Does this rifle come with scope bases or rings?

No, the receiver is drilled and tapped, but scope bases and rings are sold separately. We recommend Tikka Optilock bases or a Picatinny rail.

Can I use this rifle for long-range target shooting?

Yes, the .30-06 is capable of consistent hits on steel out to 800 yards with the right ammo and optic. The threaded barrel and stainless finish make it suppressor-ready for range use.

Is the stock adjustable for length of pull or cheek height?

No, the fixed walnut stock has a 13.75″ length of pull and a standard comb height. For tall scopes, you may need an aftermarket cheek riser or a pad.
