Key Features
6.5 Creedmoor Chambering: Known for its superior accuracy and manageable recoil, the 6.5 Creedmoor is ideal for long-range shooting. It provides excellent ballistic performance and energy retention, making it well-suited for both competitive shooting and hunting.
Ultimate Precision Rifle Stock: The T3x UPR’s stock is built with a combination of fiberglass and carbon fiber for strength and lightness. It is coated with a rough surface for improved grip and is shaped to provide optimal ergonomics, making the rifle comfortable to handle for extended shooting sessions.
Free-Floating Barrel: The UPR features a free-floating, cold-hammer-forged barrel, which reduces barrel flex during shooting and enhances accuracy by minimizing external interference. The 24-inch barrel length in 6.5 Creedmoor is optimized for consistency and precision over long distances.
Adjustable Cheek Riser: The UPR’s cheek riser is adjustable, allowing shooters to achieve a comfortable and consistent cheek weld. This customization improves alignment with the optic, contributing to improved accuracy and control.
Modular T3x Design: As with all Tikka T3x rifles, the UPR offers modularity in the grip, allowing users to switch grips for a custom fit. The UPR is also equipped with an enlarged ejection port and a steel recoil lug for added durability and ease of use.

Enhanced Stock Material: The UPR’s fiberglass and carbon fiber stock is more rigid and lightweight than standard polymer stocks, providing better stability without adding weight.
Recoil Reduction: The UPR model incorporates a steel recoil lug and an improved recoil pad, reducing felt recoil and enhancing comfort during extended shooting sessions.
