The Tikka T3X Lite Roughtech Tan is a .30-06 Springfield bolt-action rifle built around a lightweight synthetic stock in Roughtech Tan camo. At 7.1 lbs with a 20-inch barrel, it carries well on long hunts without giving up much in the way of ballistic performance. The .30-06 does its job on deer and larger game, and the adjustable trigger (2 to 4 lbs) lets you dial in pull weight before you head out.
