Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Rimfires tikka t1x

well tested all 5 Tikka T1X today in my indoor range, 4 of the T1X's I mounted Leupold VX Freedom 3x9 rimfire in Weaver rings and on mine I mounted a Vortex Strikeagle 4x24x50 30mm scope in Millet Angle loc 30mm rings. Just using CCI Mini Mag 36gr hp for sight in to get these ready to wrap for xmas presents. These rifles flat out shoot, range was 50 yards and after zeroing and using a fresh target for groups the worst group out of all 5 rifles was 3/8" some clustered them in 1/4". Going to try some better ammo out of mine but I'm probably going to stick with the CCI Mini Mags

Oh, I so wish they had a LH model.

Friggin impressive!

No pics..Typical.

not sure how to post pics

I would be glad to post pics for you.

And by "typical," I was not casting dispersions about your honesty but it seems every time somebody on the net makes claims about extremely small group sizes, damn few pics are shown. And when they are posted they are usually "wallet gruops" that the gun did only once in a blue moon

3/8 " Five shot grouos at 50 yards with any HV load would be good results out of a 10lb match rifle.

I'd like to see that out of a 6.5lb bone stock sporter.

I'm not the OP, but I just recently purchased a T1X and will share some photos. I took it out on Saturday for the first time and it took 3 shots to get zeroed... the next 5 went into this group:



Tried some different ammo and shot this group (10 rounds here)



These were shot at 50 yards, with a 6x SWFA scope. A higher magnification would likely yield better results, but that's not my purpose with this rifle. The Tikka T1X is legit & I'd bet gemby's photos would look similar (probably better)

ELKiller did you adjust your trigger, with a little work got mine down to 6oz left the five other that are presents alone. these 22's are the real deal. I have a sako p94 with a lilja barrel, mcmillam stock. jewell trigger itI wears a Leupold 6.5x20 EFR and you can watch the bullets go into the same hole at 50 yards, the tikka t1x i think will keep up with it from what I seen so far.

What load are you shooting?

Just another boring Tikka...

I'm going to buy one in spite of the fact they are not offered in a LH model.

I adjusted the trigger to match my other Tikkas. They’re primary purpose is hunting, so I’ve kept them all at 2.5 lbs.




The 5-shot group was CCI Standard Velocity (0.20”) & the 10 shot group was 36gr CCI Mini Mags (0.34”). Wolf Match Target & RWS Target Rifle did equally as well. I also shot 40gr mini mags & CCI Blazer; those two did not perform quite as well, but still, the biggest group shot on the day was 0.65”!

Thanks for the info. Based on the reports I have seen and heard ,the .22lr Tikkas really seem to love CCI ammo.

This is a 10-shot group I shot at 50 yds with my T1x and CCI Mini Mag hollowpoint ammo. It shoots high velocity ammo better than any of my other rifles. Standard velocity ammo does even better.

Tikka site lists 16” and 20” barrels. What length barrels are those groups from? Thinking I’d like the handier 16” but wouldn’t want to sacrifice accuracy.

Thanks

My rifle is the 20” version, but I doubt that you’d see much (if any) reduction in accuracy with the 16” version.

In tikkas infinite wisdom, they did not export any 16” barrel T1X rifles to the states. Only 20s.

No clue when or if we will ever see them.

Any online stores have them?

My experience too, but after seeing ElkKillers groups I'm in for one.

If it shoots like yours it won't be my last.

Mini Mag's never seemed that consistent to me...

men please...................stop hyping up the t1x's. and please stop showing those amazing groups..................jk!! i'm a self admitted tikka nut and the t1x in 22lr is on the radar but dang not much room in the safe lol. y'all ain't helping a man much in the just shoot what you have category. wonder if tikka will ever export the 16" version or a stainless?????? hmmmmmm.................decisions decisions. great shooting there men and i love to see em but it makes me make hard decisions.
