The Tikka T3 T1X in 17 HMR is a compact, lightweight bolt-action rifle built for precision shooting at varmints and small game. This right-hand model delivers the reliability Tikka is known for in a 16-inch barreled package that's easy to carry through brush and tight hunting situations. At just 6.5 pounds and 33.7 inches overall, it's nimble enough for a day afield without sacrificing accuracy or ergonomics.
17 HMR has earned its place as a go-to caliber for serious varmint hunters and target shooters who want flat trajectory, minimal recoil, and clean, efficient performance on small to medium predators and rodents. The T1X receiver platform is Tikka's modern, scaled design—lighter and more compact than full-size receivers while maintaining the same rigid tolerances that make Tikka rifles shoot. The 1:9 twist rate is optimized for 17 HMR ballistics, ensuring stable, consistent accuracy downrange.
This rifle comes ready to configure. The synthetic black stock accepts Tikka's modular grip system, so you can customize fit and control to your hand size and shooting style. The single-stage trigger breaks clean and predictable—important when precision matters. The threaded 1/2x28 muzzle is suppressor-ready and opens up options for follow-up shots and hearing protection. With a 10+1 magazine capacity, you've got enough rounds to work a stand or pursue multiple targets without constantly reloading.
Whether you're managing property, training for long-range fundamentals on a smaller platform, or hunting prairie dogs and ground squirrels, the Tikka T3 T1X in 17 HMR is a no-nonsense, versatile tool that won't let you down.
