Tikka T1x Multi-Task Rimfire
A manufacturer with a broad product base, Tikka predates its sister Finnish brand, Sako by 26 years. After WW II the two firms collaborated on a bolt action hunting rifle. Sako later acquired Tikka and by 1989 production at Tikkakoski Works had moved to Sako's Riihimaki factory.
In 2000, a new chapter opened for Sako when it and the competing Finnish gunmaker, Tikka were acquired by Beretta Holdings. The resulting alliance increased Beretta's portfolio with a rifle component equal in quality to its shotguns and handguns. Rifle-making technologies developed by Tikka and Sako, combined with those developed by Beretta and their other partner companies - Benelli, Franchi and Uberti - has seen the introduction of new Italian-made ultra modern centrefire rifles, the Franchi Momentum and Benelli Lupo. The results of this cross-pollination can be seen in the creative stock styling of these rifles which can be attributed to the creative fingerprints of the Italian design firm Carl Giugiaro which has designed stocks for number of Beretta firearms.
