The strongest point of the Tikka series of rifles are the barrels, which are widely regarded as some of the most accurate and durable barrels from serial production. The rifle uses a heavy, free-floating barrel, which effectively eliminates vibration and does not overheat, even during intensive shooting The barrels of the Varmint series are made of chrome molybdenum steel using the cold-forging method Holes are made on the cartridge chamber for mounting the optics assembly.
The fiberglass-reinforced polymer stock has an enlarged pistol grip, "fish scale" fluting a soft rubber foot to reduce recoil energy and a high cheekpiece. The manufacturer also offers the option of changing the pistol grip and shuttle (available separately). A foam insert is installed in the butt, which reduces vibrations and dampens the noise of firing. All T3X rifle beds have swivel buckles for attaching a carry belt or bipod.
