Nokka Tactical joined the Australian Hunting and Beyond Podcast (episode 139) to talk through a recent New Zealand tahr hunt — snow-covered peaks, brutal climbs, and the gear that earns its place when the terrain doesn’t forgive much.
Nokka Tactical started for one reason: to make Tikka rifles fit their owners properly. The episode covers the details that matter on a mountain hunt — lightweight rifle setups, packs and optics, what held up and what could change next time — plus some of the differences between Finnish and Australian hunting culture.

If mountain fit is what stood out from the episode, open the Tikka Fit Checklist and test your rifle in the positions you actually use.
Why fit wins in the mountains
Mountain hunting strips a rifle setup back to essentials — every gram counts, and so does every bit of fit. When you’re cold, blown out from a climb and the window’s short, a rifle that’s dialled to you is the difference between a clean shot and a missed one. That’s the reason Nokka exists: lightweight fit parts built around Tikka factory-stock geometry, so the rifle fits you and holds zero of your attention until you shoulder it.
Most shooters start with the Performance Kit — cheek riser + length-of-pull spacer set up as a system — or the LOP Spacer Kit on its own.
Thanks to the Australian Hunting and Beyond crew for having Nokka Tactical on. Designed in Finland, built in Australia — and tested where it counts.
Make your Tikka fit you
The Drop Comb Cheek Riser and LOP Spacer Kit, bundled and set up to work as a system — at a price that beats buying them separately.
