The Tikka T3 is a series of bolt-action rifles manufactured by SAKO under their Tikka brand in Riihimäki, Finland since 2003.[1] The series is available in a wide variety of different sight, calibre and stock configurations as well as several barrel lengths. The rifle series was developed by SAKO product development team led by Kari Kuparinen.[1]

In 2016 the series received an overhaul and the improved models were named Tikka T3x.[2][3] All improved parts of the T3x are compatible with the older T3 models.[2][4]
