About this product
The Tikka T3x Ace Game 6.5 PRC 24″ Threaded Bronze is a modular bolt-action rifle built on an adjustable aluminum chassis with a 24-inch fluted barrel and 5/8×24 threaded muzzle for suppressor compatibility. Chambered in 6.5 PRC with a 1:8 twist rate, it balances precision shooting capabilities with practical field features like an integrated 20 MOA Picatinny rail and M-LOK forend. At 9.5 pounds and 44 inches overall, it’s designed for hunters and long-range shooters who need a stable, repeatable platform without sacrificing portability.
What is the Tikka T3x Ace Game used for?
The Tikka T3x Ace Game is built for precision hunting and long-range target shooting, particularly in open terrain where 6.5 PRC excels. Its 24-inch barrel and 1:8 twist stabilize heavy bullets up to 147 grains effectively, making it ideal for elk, mule deer, or steel targets beyond 800 yards. The threaded muzzle and Cerakote finish add suppressor readiness and corrosion resistance for wet or dusty environments.
How does the Tikka T3x Ace Game compare to the Stevens 334 Rifle?
The Tikka T3x Ace Game outperforms the Stevens 334 Rifle in precision and modularity, with a sub-MOA guarantee versus the Stevens’ 1.5-2 MOA typical accuracy. Where the Stevens 334 uses a basic synthetic stock and fixed design, the Tikka’s aluminum chassis offers adjustable length of pull, cheek riser, and pistol grip—critical for consistent positioning. However, the Stevens 334 in .308 Win costs nearly $600 less, making it a better choice for budget-conscious hunters who don’t need long-range capability.
What does it weigh and what are the dimensions?
The rifle weighs 9.5 pounds unloaded and measures 44 inches in overall length with a 24-inch barrel. The fluted medium-contour barrel reduces weight by approximately 6 ounces compared to a non-fluted equivalent, while the aluminum chassis contributes to the total heft. For comparison, a typical wood-stocked hunting rifle in this caliber might weigh 7.5-8 pounds, but lack the stability and adjustability.
Who is this NOT for?
This rifle is not for beginners or those on a tight budget, given its $1808.99 price and specialized chassis system. If you’re primarily shooting inside 300 yards or in thick brush, a lighter, shorter-barreled option like the Stevens 334 in .243 Win would be more maneuverable and cost-effective. It’s also overkill for casual plinking or high-volume shooting where barrel heat and ammunition cost become factors.
What’s in the box?
You receive the rifle with one 3-round detachable magazine, a threaded protector cap, and basic owner’s manual. Unlike some competitors, it does not include optic mounts, sling swivels, or a case—plan to add $150-300 for those essentials. The 20 MOA Picatinny rail is integrated, so no separate base is needed, saving time and money on installation.
Is the Tikka T3x Ace Game worth it at $1808.99?
Yes, if you require sub-MOA accuracy, suppressor readiness, and chassis adjustability for serious hunting or precision work. The price is justified by the Cerakote finish, fluted barrel, and aluminum chassis—features that would cost $400+ to add aftermarket. For those who won’t use the long-range capability or modularity, consider the Stevens 334 in .308 Win at nearly half the cost.

Frequently asked questions
- Is it compatible with suppressors?
- Yes, the 5/8×24 threaded muzzle accepts most .30 caliber suppressors directly. I recommend using a taper mount system like SilencerCo ASR or Dead Air KeyMo for secure alignment. Always check suppressor manufacturer specs for minimum barrel length—24 inches is well above typical 16-inch requirements.
- Does it fit in a standard rifle case?
- Yes, but you’ll need a case at least 46 inches internally to accommodate the 44-inch length with thread protector. Most hard cases like Plano All-Weather 52-inch model work, but soft cases may require extra padding. Disassembling the chassis isn’t practical for transport.
- How long does shipping take?
- FFL shipments typically take 3-7 business days after processing, depending on your location and FFL’s transfer speed. We use FedEx Priority Overnight for firearms, with tracking provided within 24 hours of order confirmation. Non-FFL items ship via USPS or UPS Ground in 2-5 days.
- Can I return it if it doesn’t fit?
- No, firearms sales are final due to federal regulations, unless there’s a manufacturer defect. We inspect each rifle before shipping and provide detailed specs—measure your safe or storage space beforehand. Consider the Stevens 334 Compact if space is a concern.
- Does this work with ARCA rails?
- No, the forend uses M-LOK slots only, not ARCA dovetails. You can add an M-LOK to ARCA adapter from brands like Really Right Stuff or Area 419 for $80-120. The integrated Picatinny rail is 20 MOA cant, ideal for long-range scopes.
