The Tikka T1x UPR is a standout entry in Tikka’s great lineup of precision rifles, designed for shooters seeking uncompromising accuracy in a lightweight, versatile platform. Building on Tikka’s decades-long reputation for delivering rifles that combine Finnish craftsmanship with modern engineering, the T1x UPR brings the performance of a full-sized rifle into a compact, maneuverable package. Even more than that, they deliver true quality at prices that won't break the bank.

It’s a rifle well-suited for small-game hunting, target shooting, and precision training, offering a blend of portability, reliability, and shootability that few rifles in its class can match.

One of the defining features of the T1x UPR is its user-centric design, which focuses on ergonomic comfort and adaptability. The rifle’s stock is manufactured from a durable polymer composite, providing the user with both a lightweight feel and excellent weather resistance. For those out in the field hunting, it is a feature well appreciated when 5 pounds begins to feel like 50.

The stock features a fully adjustable comb height and length-of-pull options allow shooters to tailor the rifle to their specific needs, ensuring consistent eye alignment with optics and a comfortable shooting posture. Additionally, the T1x UPR features an oversized bolt handle, which simplifies cycling the action and enhances operational smoothness, even in cold or wet conditions.

The action and barrel of the T1x UPR are engineered with precision in mind. The rifle utilizes Tikka’s proven bolt-action system, renowned for its crisp, consistent trigger pull and reliable locking mechanism. The receiver is fully CNC-machined from high-grade steel, and the cold-hammer-forged barrel ensures consistent accuracy shot after shot.

Available in multiple calibers, including .22 LR and .17 HMR, the T1x UPR offers a versatile shooting experience for small-bore precision applications. The rifle’s 10-round detachable magazine further enhances convenience, allowing for quick reloads during target practice or field shooting without sacrificing balance or control.

In terms of optics and accessory compatibility, the T1x UPR is well-equipped. The stock features an integrated Picatinny rail and multiple mounting points for bipods, sling attachments, or other accessories. This modularity allows shooters to easily customize the rifle for hunting, range competition, or tactical-style precision training. Combined with its short 16-inch barrel and lightweight design, the T1x UPR offers excellent maneuverability, making it ideal for shooters who need a high-performance rifle that won’t weigh them down during extended sessions in the field or at the range.
