About this product
The LTT T3X65-XTR-Z Tikka T3X LR Pre-Zeroed 6.5mm Creedmoor is a turn-key, precision long-range rifle system, factory-configured and mechanically zeroed for immediate field deployment. This isn't a parts bin special; it's a purpose-built tool engineered for first-round hits at known distance, and it arrives ready to perform at a MSRP of $5,760.99. The package leverages the legendary Tikka T3X action, one of the smoothest, most consistent factory bolt platforms available, and integrates it into a complete long-range ecosystem.
What is the LTT T3X65-XTR-Z used for?
This rifle is designed for precision rifle competitions, tactical long-range training, and ethical hunting at extended distances where shot placement is non-negotiable. The 6.5mm Creedmoor chambering provides a ballistic advantage over traditional .308 Winchester, maintaining velocity and energy with less recoil and wind drift past 600 yards. With the included optic, bipod, and chassis, it's set up for practical positional shooting from barricades, tripods, or prone, not just benchest theory.
How does the LTT T3X65-XTR-Z compare to a Stevens 334 Rifle in .308 Win?
The LTT system is a purpose-built precision tool, while something like the Stevens 334 Rifle | .308 Win is a utilitarian, entry-level hunting rifle costing roughly a tenth of the price. The Stevens is better for a new hunter needing a simple, reliable tool for woods and field work under 300 yards, where the LTT's 14.4-pound weight is a liability. For reaching out to 800+ yards with repeatable sub-MOA accuracy, the LTT's heavy-profile barrel, match-grade trigger, and chassis-based ergonomics make it objectively better, albeit at a massively different price and application point.
What does it weigh and what are the dimensions?
This system weighs 14.40 pounds with the optic and bipod attached and measures 44.75 inches in overall length with the 24-inch barrel and installed muzzle brake. The weight, concentrated forward, is a deliberate feature for stability on target and recoil management, not a bug. That length precludes easy transport in standard rifle cases; you need a 46-inch or longer hard case, which is thankfully included in this package. Compare that to a standard Stevens 555 Sporting O/U 12 Gauge, which weighs around 7.5 pounds and is far more maneuverable for a different discipline entirely.
Who is this NOT for?
This rifle is not for a first-time firearms owner, a traditional stalk hunter, or someone on a tight budget for their first centerfire rifle. The weight makes it impractical for spot-and-stalk hunting in steep terrain, and the complexity and cost are unjustified if you're only shooting at 100-yard paper. If your primary use case is a box of ammo per year from a bench at a public range, you are paying for an immense amount of capability you will never utilize or even perceive.
What's in the box?
The box contains a mechanically complete rifle system: the barreled action in a KRG X-Ray chassis, a Burris XTR III 5.5-30x50mm scope with SCR2 reticle mounted in an American Rifle Company M-BRACE mount, two 10-round Accurate-Mag AICS-pattern magazines, a Harris 9RS 9-13 inch bipod, an Area 419 Hellfire muzzle brake, and a custom hard case. Crucially, the system is 'pre-zeroed'—meaning the scope is mechanically bore-sighted and the rifle has been test-fired to confirm zero at 100 yards, a process that typically consumes 10-15 rounds of match ammunition that are not included.
Is the LTT T3X65-XTR-Z worth it at $5,760.99?
It is worth the price if your time and certainty have quantifiable value in a training or competitive context, and you lack the specialized tools and expertise to build a system of this consistency yourself. The cost of the individual components (chassis, optic, mount, brake, magazines, bipod) purchased separately and the 4-8 hours of professional labor required to properly lap, torque, and zero them all easily meets or exceeds this MSRP. You are paying for a guaranteed level of component integration and initial performance that a casual builder cannot replicate without significant trial, error, and potential expense.

Pros & cons
What works
- Pre-zeroed at 100yds—saves 10-15 rounds of match ammo and 30-45 minutes of initial setup time
- Delivers sub-0.75 MOA groups with factory match ammunition straight from the factory case
- Complete system weight of 14.40 lbs provides exceptional shooting stability for positional work
- Uses two 10-round AICS-pattern magazines, a standardized system with wide aftermarket support
Trade-offs
- Total system weight of 14.40 lbs makes it impractical for any form of mobile or stalking hunting
- 'Pre-zeroed' claim is for mechanical zero only; atmospheric conditions and ammo lot will require final zero confirmation by the shooter
- The KRG X-Ray chassis, while excellent, has a fixed-length-of-pull—spacers are extra for significant adjustment

Frequently asked questions
- Is this rifle suppressor-ready?
- Yes. The 24-inch Super Varmint barrel has a 5/8-24 threaded muzzle, which is the industry-standard pitch for 6.5mm and .30 caliber suppressors. The included Area 419 Hellfire muzzle brake uses a proprietary coupling system; you will need an Area 419 Hellfire Mount Adapter for your specific suppressor's mounting system, typically costing between $100 and $250, to direct-thread it.
- How long does shipping take to an FFL?
- For in-stock items like this, processing typically takes 2-3 business days before it is released to the carrier. Transit time then depends on your location but generally ranges from 3-7 business days via our contracted firearms carriers. You must provide your chosen FFL's contact information and a copy of their license before we can ship.
- Can I return it after test-firing?
- No. Due to federal regulations and the transfer of ownership upon shipment, firearms cannot be returned after they have been received by your FFL and transferred to you. Any warranty claim for a mechanical defect must be handled directly with the manufacturer, Langdon Tactical, which offers a limited lifetime warranty to the original purchaser. Please inspect the firearm thoroughly with your FFL before completing the transfer.
- What is the barrel twist rate?
- The Tikka T3X Super Varmint barrel for 6.5mm Creedmoor has a 1:8 twist rate. This is the optimal twist for stabilizing the full spectrum of modern high-BC (Ballistic Coefficient) 6.5mm projectiles, from 120-grain target loads up to the heavy 147- to 153-grain ELD-Match and hybrid bullets commonly used in long-range competition.
- Does the included Harris bipod have a swivel feature?
- Yes, the included Harris 9RS (9-13 inch) is the 'S' model, which includes a swivel feature with a tension-adjustable knob. This allows the rifle to cant and level on uneven surfaces, which is critical for maintaining a consistent sight picture and recoil impulse during positional shooting. It does not have the 'notched leg' extension feature found on the 'H' series models.
