I have been running an alpha forefend on the tikkas for match stuff a bit which are also worth looking at. I have a rem 700 model spare if anyone is in need. a billet foreend like a vision or an alpha really makes a difference on a Bravo.
the target market for this is belly and Precicon shooters though where weight is welcome. I think this is a good move from Tikka, it has much better features than the tac a1. you can fork out extra $ down the line for a competitive high end chassis.

So the pistol grip is adjustable.
Magwell options.
Looks pretty damn good frankly.
Guncity has the three Tikka ACE models listed now for preorder.
T1x: $3200
T3x Game: $3800
T3x Target: $3900
The T3x Ace Game is definitely the odd ball on the bunch, not sure it'll be hugely popular here but the other two models seem very well priced and will likely sell very well.
So long as the accessories are stupidly expensive I see these being the best off the shelf option for those looking for a gong rifle, or an entry competition rifle.
In case anyone is interested in the Tikka ACE models I've done some reviews here.

I have the T1x model but you can basically take the review to be the same for the T3x models as most of my comments are about the chassis which is the same across all rifles.
Short version is.
T3x ACE Target: looks like a very well prices option, I'm not sure there is a better value option on the market for an entry level competition rifle.
T3x ACE Game: still seems good value, hard to tell what barrel contour it is, I'm guessing CTR contour.
Not sure how popular it'll be for hunters but should offer good value for a hunting/LR/gon rifle if you don't want the Target model.
T1x ACE Game: the least value IMO. The barreled action is the same as a MTR which is $1300. So you are paying $1900 for the new chassis which is expensive.
You can buy a MDT ACC Gen2 for $2000 and I think that's a better chassis.
You do get the picatinny rail I guess, but its still not great value compared to the centrefire models.
