Left-handed shooters have spent a long time either adapting right-handed rifles or hunting down aftermarket conversions to get a chassis gun that actually fits them. Tikka U.S. is closing that gap directly from the factory, expanding its T3x ACE family with left-hand versions of the T3x ACE Target and T3x ACE Game.
Tikka T3x ACE Target and Game Now In Left-Hand Configurations
Both rifles carry over the modular chassis system that defines the ACE line, now built around a left-hand bolt-action. Jared Smethurst, Beretta USA's Product Manager for Long Guns, frames it as an overdue move rather than a novelty, noting that extending the ACE platform to left-handed shooters was a natural next step, since the platform was already designed around precision and adaptability that lefties have simply been locked out of in factory form.
The T3x ACE Game leans toward field and range versatility. It keeps the fluted, medium-contour barrel that balances accuracy against portability, an interchangeable magwell, and Tikka's standardized mounting solutions, so existing ACE accessories should bolt right on regardless of hand orientation. It's offered across a wide range of hunting and precision calibers.
I was only able to find one image of the left-handed versions, which is the featured image. Above is the T3x ACE Game, and below is the T3x ACE Target - both in the right-hand configuration.
The T3x ACE Target skews harder toward the competition end, pairing a heavier barrel for sustained accuracy with an adjustable two-stage trigger and a 10-round metal magazine. It's available in .223 Remington, .308 Winchester, and 6.5 Creedmoor, which covers the calibers most PRS and NRL shooters are already running.
Both rifles arrive alongside Tikka's newly launched U.S. website, tikka.us, which Beretta USA now runs as the exclusive American distributor for the brand. Tikka accessories, including magazines, mounts, rails, and grips, are also sold through Beretta.com.
Neither rifle carries a listed MSRP yet, so pricing will presumably follow closer to availability.
