This Master Sporter features a 23.75" heavy, free-floating barrel with a recessed crown to maximize accuracy and minimize muzzle disturbance. The barrel is cold-hammer-forged from steel, delivering excellent harmonics and long service life.
The oil-finished walnut stock offers an adjustable cheek-piece, spacer-based butt-pad system, and coarse black epoxy grip panels for consistent handling. A UIT/Anschutz accessory rail in the fore-end allows easy attachment of bipods or hand stops.
An adjustable single-stage trigger is factory-set between roughly 2–4 lb, and a two-position tang safety provides simple, intuitive operation. The action retains the Sako-style claw extractor and plunger ejector for reliable cycling.
The blued steel receiver includes an integral 17 mm dovetail, and the sale comes with factory steel 30 mm rings, so adding glass is straightforward. Finnish proof-lion and Beretta U.S.A. import marks attest to its origin and quality.
With production halted prior to the Tikka T3 line, the M595 Master Sporter in .223 Rem. remains a rare opportunity for those who appreciate pre-T3 Tikka craftsmanship and purpose-built target features.
