Tikka T3x Compact Tactical Rifle in 350 Legend
Our T3x Compact Tactical Rifle chambered in 350 Legend brings straight-wall cartridge compliance to hunters in restricted zones without sacrificing the performance Tikka is known for. This rifle pairs the proven T3x action with the versatile 350 Legend cartridge, delivering excellent medium-game performance out to 250 yards.
We designed this platform for hunters who need a legal straight-wall option that shoots like a modern bolt-action should. The 10-round detachable magazine capacity gives you confidence in the field, while the cold-hammer-forged barrel guarantees sub-MOA accuracy that Tikka rifles are famous for. The modular synthetic stock adjusts to your shooting style with interchangeable pistol grips and length-of-pull spacers.
Whether you’re hunting whitetail in Michigan’s limited firearms zones or pursuing hogs in dense cover, the T3x 350 Legend delivers the stopping power and precision you need. The single-stage adjustable trigger breaks cleanly between 2-4 pounds, and our signature smooth bolt operation cycles Winchester and Remington factory loads with flawless reliability.

Why 350 Legend for Your Tikka T3x
The 350 Legend cartridge was purpose-built for straight-wall hunting regulations in states like Ohio, Iowa, Indiana, and Michigan. We chambered our T3x platform in 350 Legend because it offers ballistics far superior to traditional straight-wall options while maintaining full legal compliance.
This cartridge pushes 180-grain projectiles at 2,200 fps from the 16-inch barrel, generating over 1,900 foot-pounds of energy at the muzzle. That translates to ethical one-shot stops on whitetail deer out to 250 yards when you do your part behind the trigger. The moderate recoil makes follow-up shots quick and comfortable, while the 10-round magazine capacity means you’re always ready for a second animal or a backup shot.
T3x Action and Magazine System
Legendary Bolt Operation
Our T3x action has earned its reputation through decades of field use in the harshest conditions. The stainless steel bolt runs on dual guide rails with three locking lugs that distribute pressure evenly for consistent lockup shot after shot. The 70-degree bolt lift provides fast cycling without requiring you to break your shooting position or lose sight picture.
The controlled round feed system ensures chambering reliability with the blunt-nosed bullets common in 350 Legend ammunition. We’ve engineered the feed ramp geometry specifically for straight-wall cartridges to eliminate hang-ups that plague some bolt guns when feeding wide-bodied cases.
Modular Stock and Fit Adjustments
We built the T3x Compact Tactical stock system to fit shooters of all sizes without compromise. The synthetic construction weighs just 2.1 pounds while providing a rigid bedding platform that maintains zero through temperature swings and rough handling.
The modular pistol grip system lets you swap between vertical and traditional grip angles in under two minutes with a single hex key. We include both grip styles with every rifle. Length of pull adjusts from 12.5 to 13.5 inches using the included spacer set, so you can configure the rifle for heavy winter clothing or summer hunts in a T-shirt.

Questions About the Tikka T3x 350 Legend
The T3x 350 Legend uses a 10-round detachable box magazine. This steel magazine with polymer follower provides ample capacity for any hunting situation while maintaining a flush-fit profile that won’t snag on brush or tree stand rails.
Additional magazines are available through Tikka dealers and our online accessories store. We recommend purchasing at least one spare magazine for extended hunting trips or range sessions.
Yes, the 350 Legend cartridge is fully compliant in all states with straight-wall cartridge regulations, including Ohio, Indiana, Iowa, and Michigan’s limited firearms zones. The cartridge meets the criteria for case diameter and overall length in these restricted areas.
We always recommend verifying current regulations with your state’s wildlife agency before hunting season, as rules can change. The 350 Legend has been widely adopted and specifically approved by all states currently enforcing straight-wall requirements.
We’ve extensively tested our T3x 350 Legend with Winchester Deer Season XP, Federal Non-Typical, Hornady American Whitetail, and Remington Core-Lokt loads. All of these factory loads produced sub-MOA accuracy after proper barrel break-in.
For hunting, we recommend 150-180 grain bonded or controlled-expansion bullets. The 16-inch barrel achieves full powder burn with these weights while delivering over 1,900 foot-pounds of energy for ethical medium-game harvests out to 250 yards.
Yes, every T3x rifle features our adjustable single-stage trigger that can be set between 2 and 4 pounds. The adjustment requires a 2mm hex key and can be completed in under five minutes following the instructions in your owner’s manual.
We ship rifles with the trigger set at approximately 3 pounds from the factory. This provides an excellent balance of safety and precision for most hunting applications. The trigger has no takeup or overtravel and breaks cleanly with no creep regardless of your chosen weight setting.
With quality hunting ammunition, the T3x 350 Legend delivers ethical medium-game performance out to 250 yards. The 16-inch barrel generates sufficient velocity to maintain over 1,000 foot-pounds of energy at that distance with 180-grain bullets.
Our cold-hammer-forged barrel and guaranteed sub-MOA accuracy mean the rifle is mechanically capable of precision far beyond what most shooters can utilize in field positions. We recommend practicing from realistic hunting positions to determine your personal effective range with your chosen ammunition and optic.
The rifle includes an integral two-piece Picatinny rail machined into the receiver, but scope rings are sold separately. This allows you to choose rings appropriate for your specific optic’s tube diameter and objective size.
We recommend medium or high rings depending on your scope choice. Our customer service team can provide specific recommendations based on your optic model, or consult our online optics mounting guide for detailed compatibility charts.
The 10-round capacity provides twice the ammunition availability of standard hunting magazines without adding significant weight or bulk. The single-stack design maintains a slim profile that won’t interfere with shooting positions or carrying the rifle.
Many hunters appreciate the extra capacity when hunting hogs or in areas where follow-up shots on multiple animals are common. The magazine’s flush fit means it doesn’t protrude awkwardly or snag on clothing and vegetation like some extended magazines do in other rifle platforms.
