Herewith the new Tikka T3 TAC A1 ... ... ...
No further information at present - looks like it uses TRG mags which is hardly surprising.

Yes - very expensive compared to AICS, but I guess it makes sense that Tikka would use their own format.

That's nearly as ugly as the ruger precision rifle

I'd guess around 20" - long enough for use out to 600X and beyond. I'd venture to say that's a T3 Varmint/Super Varmint 20" inside the chassis - speaking from personal experience a very accurate rifle.
[below]Different recipe, but similar in terms of basic rifle:

Oddly enough I have been asked to build some parts for one of these so I assume someone somewhere must have one.

£180 a pop for TRG mags. My RPA uses them, because obviously they couldn't gave used their "competitors", despite the AICS macs bring almost the industry standard!

The USMC XM3 rifle in 7.62 was used with an 18 1/2" barrel & still obtained sub-MOA groups at 1000m
The new USMC M40A7 is also a sub 19" barrel
