Tikka T3x Ace — Precision Bolt-Action Rifle with 10-Round Capacity
Our Tikka T3x Ace is engineered for competitive precision rifle shooters who demand repeatable accuracy and adaptability on the range. Built on the proven T3x action, the Ace features a fully adjustable synthetic stock with tool-free length-of-pull and cheek height adjustment, allowing you to dial in a perfect fit for any shooting position.
The cold-hammer-forged stainless steel barrel delivers match-grade accuracy out of the box, while the 10-round detachable magazine capacity keeps you in the fight during rapid-fire stages. We designed the Ace with an extended Picatinny rail for optics mounting versatility and a widened fore-end for stable support on barricades and bags.
Whether you’re competing in PRS matches or pushing your limits at the 1,000-yard line, the T3x Ace gives you the precision platform to perform at your best. Our metalwork is finished in a durable matte stainless that resists the elements, and the single-stage trigger breaks clean at 2-4 pounds for consistent shot placement.

Barrel & Action Construction
The heart of the T3x Ace is our cold-hammer-forged barrel, a manufacturing process that work-hardens the steel for exceptional durability and accuracy life. Unlike button-rifled or cut-rifled barrels, cold-hammer forging creates a stress-relieved bore with minimal tool marks, resulting in reduced fouling and consistent velocities shot after shot.
Our T3x bolt action features three locking lugs for even pressure distribution and a short 60-degree bolt lift that keeps your hand close to the rifle during rapid cycling. The mechanical ejector provides positive case extraction even in adverse conditions, while the oversized bolt handle offers positive purchase when wearing gloves.
Stock Adjustability & Ergonomics
We designed the Ace stock system to adapt to your body and shooting style without requiring tools or a return to the gunsmith. The vertical cheek piece adjusts through 20mm of height range, allowing you to achieve perfect scope alignment whether you’re running a low-profile red dot or a high-mounted precision optic.
Length-of-pull adjusts via spacers from 13.25″ to 14.25″, accommodating different body types and shooting positions from prone to barricade work. The pistol grip angle is optimized for precision rifle competition, promoting neutral wrist alignment and consistent trigger finger placement.
Magazine System & Capacity
The Ace utilizes our proven detachable box magazine system with a 10-round capacity in standard calibers. This extended capacity is ideal for competition stages that require multiple targets or for extended practice sessions where frequent reloading interrupts your rhythm.
Our magazines feature steel feed lips and a polymer body for the ideal balance of durability and weight savings. The single-stack design ensures reliable feeding with a wide variety of bullet profiles, from flat-base match projectiles to polymer-tipped hunting rounds. The magazine release is ambidextrous and positioned for quick operation without breaking your grip.

Common Questions About the Tikka T3x Ace
The T3x Ace ships with a 10-round detachable box magazine in standard calibers like 6.5 Creedmoor and .308 Winchester. This extended capacity is ideal for precision rifle competition and extended practice sessions. The Ace is also compatible with our standard 3-round and 5-round T3x magazines if you prefer a lower-profile option for hunting applications or jurisdictions with capacity restrictions.
Yes, the Ace stock features tool-free adjustments for both cheek piece height and length-of-pull. The vertical cheek piece adjusts through 20mm of height with simple hand controls, while length-of-pull changes from 13.25″ to 14.25″ using included spacers. This allows you to achieve a custom fit for different shooting positions or share the rifle among multiple shooters without carrying tools to the range.
We currently offer the Ace in 6.5 Creedmoor, .308 Winchester, and .260 Remington. These calibers are chosen for their exceptional long-range performance, widespread availability of match-grade ammunition, and reasonable barrel life. The 6.5 Creedmoor is particularly popular for competition due to its superior ballistic coefficient and mild recoil, while .308 Winchester offers excellent ammunition selection and proven accuracy to 1,000 yards.
Yes, all Ace models come with a 5/8×24 threaded muzzle from the factory. This common thread pitch allows you to easily install a suppressor or muzzle brake to manage recoil during extended shooting sessions. The barrel is also free-floated for consistent accuracy whether you’re shooting suppressed or unsuppressed. We include a thread protector to keep the threads clean when not using a muzzle device.
Every Ace is test-fired at our factory and ships with a target showing a sub-MOA group. In real-world testing with quality match ammunition, most shooters achieve groups in the 0.5-0.75 MOA range at 100 yards with no modifications. The cold-hammer-forged barrel, free-floated design, and single-stage trigger work together to deliver match-grade accuracy that rivals custom rifles costing significantly more.
The Ace features an extended 20 MOA Picatinny rail machined as part of the receiver. This built-in cant provides additional elevation adjustment for long-range shooting and accepts any Picatinny-compatible scope rings. The rail runs the full length of the receiver, accommodating large-objective optics and providing space for clip-on night vision or thermal devices forward of your primary scope.
Yes, the Ace uses the same magazine system as all other T3x rifles, so our 3-round, 5-round, and 10-round magazines are fully interchangeable across the platform. If you already own a T3x Lite or T3x Varmint, your spare magazines will work perfectly in the Ace. This cross-compatibility makes it easy to maintain a consistent magazine inventory if you own multiple Tikka rifles.
