I wish they would just sell barreled actions like Howa and have a variety of weight/length barrels. That way you can save some money and pick the stock you actually want.

100%. It would be a damn near perfect product. There are a number of excellent chassis manufacturers that exceed anything that’s come stock with a Tikka rifle.

Exactly. Manners, MDT, McMillan, Bell and Carlson, GRS, SCA…there are plenty.

I acknowledge they’ve delivered improved stocks with the TACA1 and UPR offerings, but probably still better off offering high quality barreled actions that pass on savings to the end user.

As somebody who's been running a UPR semi-customized for almost 2 years now as much as that stock is nice it lacks basically all modern features and I have a friend who shot my Tikka once and his balls went Kaboom and he went and found a used Tac A1 and that shoots pretty good and is ergonomic but I second or third then just selling barreled actions hell I'd be happy if they just sold actions for around 500

Looks good for a lot of markets where building your own isn't an option or where customs are very expensive.

If that is the Ace the rifle looks good, especially the two stage trigger and some basic but reliable calibre options (.308/.223/ 6.5CM)…why they omitted a decent 6mm option is a wonder though? I reckon an off the shelf 243, 6Dasher, 6BR or 6CM would be a success. They are claiming compatibility with third party and proprietary accessories. RRP seems pretty reasonable as well (I’m looking at this in Australia and they are advertising $3200 AUD…surprisingly good).

Still…a straight barrelled action option is an opportunity that Tikka fails to capitalise on.

I personally would buy another one. I already own 2 tikkas already

Looks like another swing and a miss. Hopefully I’m wrong. I wonder why no 6cm or 6gt “target” rifle.

Makes me wonder what % of Snipers Hide posters build their rifles vis a vis buy factory. I wouldn’t be surprised if upwards of 75% of posters are custom (components) builders.

I'll take the ACE Target in a 7 prc please.

Not a lot of folks run the UPR, but I really like my 20" UPR 6.5 Creedmoor. Its a great hunting riffle stock with basic features of a long range design (adjustable cheek piece, vertical grip). Its at the smith getting a new barrel.

 

[Redfisher60]

I'd be interested in knowing how many Tikka consumers change anything on the gun, I'd bet it's not more than 10%. My guess it that SH members are a mere drop of water in the ocean of the Tikka market. Could be wrong though.

 

[K80/6.5]

Not impressed. Agree with the swing and a miss statement.

You forget to switch to your alt or something?

lol Your right I losing my mind haha. I stand behind my statement. Even if I mentioned it twice!

I am glad they added 7prc.

 

[mwiggi]

May would get one in 223, but definitely not right now after seeing the new Manners Tikka stock.

 

[HaydenLane]

The chassis probably won’t be available separately, but I’d definitely take one for my T1X

Available tomorrow in build your own plus ready to ship. Comes standard with their mini chassis and regular Tikka mags or CTR.

This is absolutely correct. Most Tikka owners roll with the factory stock. I have 2 Tikkas myself and one of them is still in the cheap factory plastic (my 223 that I use for NV for coyotes/hogs). My CTR precision rifle is in a Manners though.

I don't understand how more folks haven't jumped on the UPR. It's a fantastic value compared to anything else in their lineup above the T3x lite.

 

[jsnspck]

Why won’t Tikka give you us the 2 stage trigger across the board? Would like to see this is the Game lineup.

Same reason they won’t offer barreled actions or just actions alone. Who knows.

 

[HaydenLane]

I'm curious what the difference is in their seemingly redundant sku's.

On the bottom left there’s a “see more” option that expands the chart, however I still couldn’t find a difference in the models I was looking it. Perhaps chassis cerakote color?

 

[HardRockARC]

Too heavy for NRL hunter, too light for PRS. Plus did no one notice the Tikka weights and how they attach? Lose all use of the side mlok slots for INTERNAL weights.

Cerakote

 

[HardRockARC]

9lb base weight. NF NX8 in rings weigh 2lbs. SRS TI brake weighs 2oz. Harris and Atlas CAL weigh 1lb. CkyePod is preferred but weighs 1.5lbs. It will easily fit Heavy. And it might fit Light of you make concessions on the bipod.

But it should be competing in factory class, which its too heavy for.

 

[HardRockARC]

Maybe you are right. Me personally I don't really understand factory class. I don't own a single rifle that is still in factory configuration and doing so is completely uninteresting to me. As far as competition, I've never been interested in winning a minor class amongst some relative noobs. I want to win the entire match; overall standings.

Im simply pointing out what class it was designed for. I dont disagree at all.

 

[HardRockARC]

So not too heavy for NRL? Just too heavy for a minor and unimportant class?

Sure. I'm not here to argue. Whether you think a class or division should exist is irrelevant. Were talking about a new product and what role it was designed to fill. Its a factory offering that should, if outfitted with an optic, mount and bipod, fall into the criteria of said class. But it wont. Not saying its not a great NRLH rifle, its just not a Factory class NRLH rifle.

 

[HardRockARC]

Where did you hear that Tikka intended it for factory division in NRLH? Or is that just your own assumption?

Cant say.

 

[Tx_Aggie]

But it should be competing in factory class, which its too heavy for.

Agreed. It looks like a great open heavy rifle for someone who wants something they can shoot out of the box, but ideally the gun would be light enough to shoot in Factory class with a triple pull (like the Seekins NRL rifles).

That said, I'm still excited about the rifle and will likely end up with one.

You can buy the target forend.

But you still have the pencil barrel of the hunter version.

Why won’t Tikka give you us the 2 stage trigger across the board? Would like to see this is the Game lineup.

Most consumers want a traditional, single stage trigger.

I'd be interested in knowing how many Tikka consumers change anything on the gun, I'd bet it's not more than 10%. My guess it that SH members are a mere drop of water in the ocean of the Tikka market. Could be wrong though.

I had a CTR in a Bravo, sold the Bravo and went back to the CTR factory stock. The CTR factory stock is perfectly functional and minimalist, which is what I like for a hunting stock.

 

[joetuono]

What is the COL limit for the 223 CTR mags?

 

[Turkeytider]

Why won’t Tikka give you us the 2 stage trigger across the board? Would like to see this is the Game lineup.

My impression, could be wrong, is that it’s more common and desirable in dedicated range / target guns, not so much in hunting rifles (?).

 

[Frankr]

No folding stock option?

 

[mwiggi]

“Plus, the rifle features an interchangeable magwell, allowing compatibility with different magazine types for added versatility”.

Wonder if this means you can change between AICS and CTR mags?

Or is it for transitioning between CTR and T1x magazines? Not sure if the price point for the t1x would be above the ARA factory limit.

Would make me want to get one if it was allowed in ARA factory and could be swapped to CTR.

From what I can tell, the ACE Target ships with a magwell for CTR mags, the ACE Game with one for Tikka factory polymer mags (same mags as their standard hunting rifles), and the T1x version with one for T1X mags. It seems reasonable that there might be the possibility of purchasing a separate AICS magwell from Tikka at some point in the future.
