Introduction: The Ultimate Arctic Workhorse

The Tikka Arctic .308 is a rifle built for extreme conditions. Whether you're navigating the rugged backcountry or operating in freezing temperatures, this rifle delivers unwavering reliability and precision. Designed with military-grade durability and a reputation for accuracy, the Tikka Arctic .308 is an exceptional platform for those who demand performance in the harshest environments.

In this build, we enhance its capabilities with a Steiner MPS optic, a Blue Force Gear Padded Sling, and a Guide On Optics Acro-Picatinny adapter for a seamless, adaptable shooting experience.

Tikka Arctic .308: Designed for Harsh Environments

The Tikka Arctic .308 was originally designed for the Canadian Rangers, a group that operates in some of the most demanding conditions on the planet. This rifle boasts a cold hammer-forged barrel, a robust stainless-steel action, and a smooth bolt throw that ensures flawless cycling even in extreme temperatures.

With a 20-inch barrel optimized for .308 ballistics, the Arctic provides exceptional accuracy at long distances while maintaining maneuverability. Its laminated stock offers increased rigidity and resistance to warping, making it ideal for shooters who rely on consistent performance in varying climates.

Steiner MPS: The Red Dot Advantage

For rapid target acquisition and durability, the Steiner MPS (Micro Pistol Sight) is the ideal choice. Though originally designed for pistols, the MPS’s enclosed emitter and rugged construction make it a strong candidate for rifles, especially when paired with the right mount.

This optic features a crisp 3.3 MOA dot, waterproof and fog-proof housing, and 13,000-hour battery life, ensuring it withstands whatever nature throws at it. The true co-witness capability allows for seamless transition between iron sights and the red dot, giving shooters an edge in quick-reaction scenarios.

Guide On Optics Acro-Picatinny Adapter: Perfect Fitment

To securely mount the Steiner MPS onto the Tikka Arctic .308, we utilize the Guide On Optics Acro-Picatinny adapter. This precision-machined mount ensures a low-profile, stable connection between the optic and the rifle, allowing for a comfortable heads-up shooting position.

Constructed from high-strength aluminum, this adapter is both lightweight and incredibly durable, making it the perfect intermediary between the MPS red dot and the Arctic’s Picatinny rail.

Blue Force Gear Padded Sling: Comfort and Control

A rifle built for rugged conditions requires a sling that can keep up. The Blue Force Gear Padded Sling is a battle-proven solution that provides enhanced comfort for extended carry. With adjustable quick-release functionality, this sling enables shooters to switch between carrying positions effortlessly.

The padded section reduces fatigue, making it an excellent choice for long hunting trips, patrol duty, or backcountry trekking. Its robust nylon construction ensures that it withstands wear and tear in all weather conditions.
