Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Rimfires Tikka T1x Accuracy Report

Too bad you didn't buy some from bi-mart about 3 months ago, when the federals were $7.99/box... I stocked up on ammo then and actually bought 2 17HMR rifles... Ended up selling my 10-22 because the 17 is funner to shoot, and more accurate...

I won’t buy from Bi-Mart, I don’t care how good the sale is.

I can appreciate a man with principles.

I want to see an honest write up of that gun using various types of ammo! please!!

Like others suggested I sent the Ruger American .22 LR back to Ruger. THey had it for 3 days and I got it today. They had to recrown the barrel and sent me a test target. If it shoots that good I will buy another one or two in a heartbeat.

Again thanks for the tip on sending it back.

Pharmseller: There are NO Bi-Marts in Montana where I live but when I travel west to the coast for gunshows I make it a point to stop at the Bi-Marts on the way, they often have excellent prices on rimfire ammo and rare ammo IN STOCK!
I have done this for MANY years now.
What is your perceived beef with Bi-Mart - I have heard nothing negative about them.

That sounds great !



I hope it shoots well for you ..

Bi-Mart decided to hop on the virtue-signaling bus and refuse to sell shotguns and long guns to those under 21.

Not 18, which is the legal limit.

Why support Bi Mart?

Their policies infringe on my son’s Second Amendment rights.

From their press release:

“As part of the national debate on gun sales, Bi-Mart and Cascade Farm and Outdoor stores, a division of Bi-Mart, issued a statement clarifying the company’s policy with three key elements.

Bi-Mart has always carried a mix of merchandise that supported the shooting sports and hunting community and will continue to do so.
Bi-Mart has never stocked or sold AK or AR platform rifles or bump-stocks and nor high-capacity magazines for these firearms and will not stock them in the future.
While emphasizing that Bi-Mart’s policies for firearm sales meet or exceed all Federal and State laws where they operate and currently follow all government age restrictions., the release says Bi-Mart believes increasing the minimum age for purchase of firearms to age 21 “is a step in the right direction,” and announces that they will now only sell guns and ammunition to those 21 or older that meet state and federal requirements for purchasing firearms.”


A step in the right direction? Which direction would that be? I guess it’s the direction that erodes our gun rights.

I have not stepped foot into a Bi-Mart since they adopted this policy.

Ruger frustrates me in some ways. They make guns that are very appealing to me. Their QC needs major improvement though. Their Customer Service after the sale rarely disappoints. Thankfully.

Finally got a range session today. Dead on at 50 yards put me a half inch high at 100. 200 yards was 6 1/2” low. Wind played hell with that little bullet at 200 but if you doped it right you could break clay pigeons.

You're pretty much dealing with 500+ yard CF drift with a 22LR at 200. Makes paying big bucks for high grade 22 LR ammo worth every penny.

Do you have any concern, when nutria hunting, about adding to the lead poisoning problems birds-of-prey and carrion eaters are suffering? If you were to use head shots exclusively, would it be practical to decapitate the nutria and bury the head (where lead fragments will be found)?

No, now go back to wherever yo came from you fool.

I'll join you in extending a warm welcome to our new member.

I think deceitful to show photos of the gun without the magazine. The ugly POS is a deal breaker for me. Maybe I exaggerate, but; lets not hide the truth. Picture the complete rifle when showing off the new stocks and scopes.

Nope, no concerns. But if you’re worried about it, send me a PM and I’ll let you know where the carcasses are. Bring a shovel and you can bury them.





P

Calling a man deceitful could be taken as rude behavior.

That said, I have no problem with the appearance including the magazine. What the hell, it ain’t like we’re talking about titties.

Pharm.....I can't believe you ruined it for fourbore. You're salesmanship is questionable. There are rules for posting pictures of rifles. First and foremost, you MUST show the magazine. Rick has a sticky about this, I hope you're not reduced to one post per day.


Dammit man, just when you think a guy is kosher......

Enjoying the discussion. I finally got my T1X in 22lr. Scoped it with Warne rings and an old Vari-X III in 4.5-14. I had an assortment of 22 ammo on hand, so I thought I’d see how well the rifle shot. I did 10 shot groups with Rem Thunderbolt, Rem Golden, CCI minimags, Federal bulk ammo, and Federal Auto Match. Both Of the Remingtons shot 1.5 inch groups at 50 yards, with groups being vertical. The CCI and Federal bulk was about 7/8 inch, and the Federal Auto Match was at 5/8”, with all but one in one hole. Then I read the owners manual and it said 1 MOA was guaranteed at 50 yards with 3 shot groups. So I shot some 3 shot groups with the Auto Match and it easily met the guarantee. Smallest group was one slightly elongated hole.

At 100 yards, in a gusty wind, using the Auto Match, the best I could do was 1.5 inches. Next calm day I’ll try again.

I haven’t adjusted the trigger yet, and I need to try some better ammo. I really like the rifle.

The stock is the same one that's on the T3x (except the bottom metal) correct?
