Why Preferred on Tikka?

We will be developing this page more, and adding content from rifles we proof out and from happy customers.

Tikka are known for the way they are precisely maintained to the standards equal to "custom" action makers. They are so precise that barrels can be made without having a gunsmith turn the barrel.

In the field, Tikka are the most reliable action, they run smooth, and the trigger is indistinguishable from after market triggers, and it has been proven to be among the safest in the market.

Preferred Barrel prefits are known for their outstanding quality. From the very first shots out of the barrel, you'll see how well they group. And, they only get better after break-in.

As hunters, we look for groups that will kill reliably. Preferred barrels do that when shooting quality match ammo. Our experience is that Hornady ELDx and ELDm precision ammo reliably shoots small enough group sizes to be lethal and reliable out to 600 yards.

Below is a typical group shot by a customer, with 20 rounds.


Here is one 30 round group.
