Box, Paperwork, and Accessories: The scope as described above.
Our Assessment: Known originally as Tikkakoski, a company that sold a myriad of consumer goods and textiles, Tikka as it is better known made firearms as well under ownership of SAKO, another Finnish arms company. Tikkakoski is long defunct, but firearms are produced to this day under the Tikka brand name by Beretta USA. Reliable, inexpensive, and handsome, Tikka rifles are a favorite among modern shooters. This T3x is chambered for the massively popular 6.5 Creedmoor, and the composite stock is surely cool looking. Good luck and happy bidding!
