Key Features
- Left-Handed Action – The bolt and ejection port are reversed for southpaws, so you can cycle rounds without breaking your cheek weld. That means faster follow-ups and less fumbling in the field.
- Fluted, Threaded Barrel (24.3 inches) – Fluting cuts weight without sacrificing stiffness, and the threaded muzzle lets you add a suppressor or brake. A muzzle brake and thread cap are included, so you're ready out of the box.
- Roughtech Tan Synthetic Stock – This stock has a modular pistol grip and forend, so you can adjust the feel to your hand. It's also weather-resistant, which matters when you're hiking in wet conditions.
- Widened Angular Ejection Port – Tikka opened up the ejection port for easier single-loading and clearance for larger scope turrets. It also makes clearing a jam smoother—small detail, big difference.
- Picatinny Rail Ready – Extra screw placements on the receiver let you mount a Picatinny rail without any gunsmithing. You can swap optics in minutes.
Who It's For
This rifle is for the left-handed hunter or precision shooter who wants a lightweight setup in 6.5 PRC. It's a good fit if you're after elk, mule deer, or steel out to 800 yards. It also works for new shooters who want a lefty option that won't break the bank.
Pros & Cons
- Pro: At just 6.4 lbs, it's easy to carry all day. The fluted barrel helps shed weight without losing accuracy.
- Pro: The 6.5 PRC round delivers flat trajectories and retained energy—great for longer shots.
- Con: The blued finish requires more care than a stainless or coated barrel. If you hunt in heavy rain or salt spray, you'll want to oil it regularly.
