Both have the same action and probably the same barrel, the bolt on the CTR is Teflon coated, the big difference is the DBM, CTR uses different mags.What is the difference between a Tikka T3X CTR 6.5CM and a TIKKA T3X VARMIT 6.5 CREEDMOOR? Any difference in accuracy? They physically look the same to me. Thanks.

Thanks. I also went to Tikka’s website and could not find a Varmint in 6.5CM but I found two online retailers with such models. One of the retailers shows a Varmint with a pic rail and adjustable cheek piece. I asked the retailer to confirm the specs of the rifle as its pictured on their site.Their website doesn't list a 6.5 Creedmoor for the Varmint model. They do look similar, but there are some differences.
There may be some more differences that I've missed - these are the ones that I could find.
- Looking at Tikka's web site I can see that the Varmint includes their "Beavertail" forearm, whereas the CTR does not.
- Also the Varmint comes with Tikka's single-stack 5 or 6 round magazine, but the CTR comes with a 10 round double-stack magazine. The magazines are NOT interchangeable between the 2 models, as different bottom metal is required for each type of mag.
- The CTR comes with a picatinny rail on top of the receiver for scope mounting, but the Varmint does not.
- The barrel length of the Varmint for both calibers listed on their site (.223 Rem, and .22-250) is 23 7/10", whereas the barrel lengths for the several different calibers listed for the CTR come in either 20 or 24", with some calibers only coming in 20".
- Varmint barrel not threaded, CTR barrel is threaded for a muzzle device.
Hope this helps.

I bought a Bravo and didn't like it. The cheek piece issue is a big design flaw which I just couldn't live with and the whole thing seemed as if it is built for midgets. The length of pull is too short even with the 3 spacers provided and the pistol grip is too short, leaving one finger hanging free. I'm also 5'11&1/2".
The 6.5 CM in the T3x varmint is new for 2018 so it might be awhile before the dealers get them in stock......
Well your right about Beretta I just figured since Eurooptics and Grabagun were showing them that they might be available in the states sometime in the future.IF Beretta actually imports them.
Well in 6´4 and 2505lbs, i think the Bravo is great chassis for that price.
I have the tool-less buttbad and 2 spacer, and i think that is enough for me.
The pistol grip is also good size, and i do have large hand.
And what comes for that cheekpiece, i have heard that they have done new model of the cheekrest what will work with Tikka rifles.
I have two CTR and it is true, that the bolt will hit for the cheekrest, when it is on specific hight, but if you dare, you are able to fix that issue with very small effort, and get it work perfectly.
Here´s a short video what we took from last saturday, when i was doing first test with my new tripod.

I have an older T3 Lite SS which came with Scope Rings.
I just got a newer T3x Lite SS which doesn't come with Scope Rings, and doesn't seem to have a bunch of replaceable grips out of the box. I was sort of expecting to see these items included.
Am I missing anything?
you are right about that, i was 255lbs, but some how i but 2500 poundI think your weight might be a little bit off. Unless you turned into a jacked up truck.
Mountain Tactical Tikka T3/T3x Gen 2 Performance Series.What are your favorite scope bases? Are the bases from Tikka Performance worth it?
Dowel pin, perfectly fitted?... Yes.Do the Murphy Precision bases have that little lug which fits into the recess on the Tikka's receiver?
If anybody asks call it an organic artisanal armchair. Or a concept art piece railing against the rigid confines of our materialistic world.Not sure how I got away with this one but I convinced my wife I needed alot more practice so I built a tank trap and have it in the front living room. Cant wait to get this guy into the J Allen and put my 223 in the adjustable A5 and my future tikka 22 in my plain jane A5.View attachment 6896562

Been working on my CTR build for a few months now. My NF SHV F1 scope just came in as did a set of Seekins rings. I went with the medium rings (0.87”) based on some advice on the forum, but I’m curious if you think it’s too low? I played with it for a while, but this is about the max spacing between the objective and the barrel that I can get, as I can push the scope any farther forward or the magnification ring will interfere with the bolt/end of the rail. I can still get a thin lens cap on it, but anymore and it would be touching the barrel. This is a stock 0MOA rail btw. Any advice? Do you think this will be an issue and I should go to medium high rings? Or should I just not worry about it? Thanks in advance. View attachment 6896683View attachment 6896684

I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask, and I imagine this question has been asked before, but my search-fu didn't yield any concrete answers.
what mag will work with my new to me Tikka T3x in a KRG chassis (6.5 creed)?
the rifle came with an AI marked mag which appears to work fine, though it doesn't drop free all that easily.
I have some ARC mags and Magpul AI patterned mags, neither of which fit (I have a PVA JH on order and I'm hoping they work for that rifle)
my previous long range experience was primarily with desert tech, so that was a very straight forward equation.
will accurate mag branded mags work? how about ruger mags made for their gunsite rifle?
Finally got around to joining the Tikka crowd.
6.5 Creedmoor with Vortex AMG.
I had the same issue with my CTR in a GGS Predator stock. I had a stage that I used a gamechanger on and it didn't pick up the next round. I put another bipod stud out as far forward as I could to give me more room between my mag and the lever on my Harris like you have. I also put some tape inside of the front of mag well to keep the front of the mag from tipping down. That has helped, but I need to fabricate a stop that will attach to the front of the bottom metal using a longer front action screw. Some brands of bottom metal have the mag well that extends below the stock a 1/2" or more.Has anyone had issues with the Tikka CTR bottom metal and CTR mag's having feed issues when putting pressure against barricades? While training for my first upcoming PRS match, I've run into an issue where when digging into a barricade or jamming a game changer between the harris bipod and the mag I'm getting feed issues.
Here's the rifle I'm using for a frame of reference.
