Each Tikka rifle features a cold hammer-forged barrel, ensuring long-lasting durability, superior accuracy, and consistent performance over thousands of rounds.
Guaranteed Sub-MOA Accuracy

Single-Stage Adjustable Trigger
Tikka rifles come with a crisp, single-stage trigger that is adjustable for pull weight, allowing shooters to fine-tune it for optimal performance and comfort.
