I put my T1x .17 HMR together Thursday after a patient 10-month wait. Talley rimfire 11mm dovetail lows, Leupold VX2 3-9x40 CDS, Hornady 17 grain V-Max. I set up a half-assed range in the back yard, turned out to be 60 yards, so keep that in mind. Still, I think this dog will hunt. I shot a few more, all consistently dime sized. I’m looking forward to a structured range session where I can sight her in at 100, then see what she’ll do at 200. P

Nice. I’d be happy with that. How many rounds? Clean at all?
I picked up a couple boxes of CCI 17gr, Hornady 17gr, and Hornady 20gr. Will see if it likes one over the other.

Pharmseller, can you tell a poor easterner how do you pronounce Willamette? Is it Will-om-ett or something different?

Give the A17 ammo a try. I found that it shoots a bit better in my Volquartsen compared to the hornady 17gr vmax and has 2-3" less drop at 200yds.

I mounted a new elite 4200 that was collecting dust, new leupold bases & med rings, Hornady .17gr ammo and zeroed for 75yds. five shot groups you can cover with a dime all day long. I cleaned the barrel well and set trigger @ 2 1/2 #. as usual tikka's shoot little bitty groups.

PennDog Be sure to adjust the trigger. Mine came from the factory at a crisp 6 pounds. Well, maybe not that much, but I sure had to back it off a bunch to get it to approximate my hunting rifles. P

Mad Mooner and Pharmseller - Thank you for the clarification. Somewhere I had seen the pronunciation I used in my question but some how it never seemed right.

With the Talley low rings how much clearance do you have between the objective end and the barrel? I am waiting on 22lr version and am interested in fitting the talleys also and want to keep the scope low. Have a Leupold 3 to 9 x 40 ready to go. Cheers.

Is the Tikka in dealer inventories now or is there still a wait?

I shot a few rounds over the Magnetospeed. Hornady 17 grain V-Max averaged 2641, es of 20, three shots. The A17 17 grain ammo was much faster, average of 2725, es 24, three shots.
Not bad.
