The first-ever Tikkakoski factory was established in 1893 and the factory started manufacturing gun components in 1918. Tikkakoski Oy and SAKO cooperated on a prototype rifle series in 1981, and the rest is history. Building on SAKO’s long firearm manufacturing traditions, Tikka is able to meet the requirements of modern hunters by combining traditional gunsmith know-how with advanced technology.
