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

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)

It shoots high velocity ammo better than any of my other rifles. Standard velocity ammo does even better.

Have you been able to tell if the chamber is tight, ie. unable to extract chambered rounds or extracted rounds engraved with rifling, or ? Thanks, Jerry Jerry, no engraving with rifling with CCI Standard or Federal Ultra Match, the bolt works smooth and closes on loaded round with no resistance. 4 of the rifle I didn't play with only mounted a scope, sighted them in, shot a 5 shot group to lay in the box and then packed them up to wrap for xmas. Mine I shoot every day to see if POI changes and if I develope the first shot flier, so far so good. Did try some Federal Auto Match in it, don't shoot the best groups but 10 shot cover with a dime is a norm. Greg

I put a Leupold 4.5-14 on it, and it shoots tiny groups. I have not tried CCI SV yet, so my best results so far are with CCI Blazer ammo. Unfortunately, RN 22 ammo isn’t that effective on yard varmints, so I switched to the HP ammo I had on hand, which was Remington Golden, which shoots real well. Worst ammo I tried was Remington Thunderbolt. I’ve never had a 22 as accurate as the T1X. My 9422 and 39A can’t equal the Tikka.

Big Ed The barrels are a slip-fit and are held in place by screws but an entirely different setup than the 455's which use a "grub" screw set-up. So yes, they can be changed just not as conveniently as the 455's. My question would be why would someone want to change one, the way they perform it would be an exercise in futility.

The Tikka is the most accurate non- target rifle I have ever owned. I once had a Remington 513T, customized and with a 26” bull barrel, and it was amazing. The Tikka might be that accurate or at least very close. Before I bought the T1X I had heard how well it shot, and it really is that good.

Let's see some 5 shot prove it targets and with distance. 5 five-shot groups at 50 yards. The dark lines are one-inch apart the smaller light colored lines are 1/4 inch apart. Counting 1 thru 4 from the left side - groups 1 and 2 are five- shot groups / groups 3 and 4 are ten shot groups, all at 50 yards. Not to bad for an off the shelf sub-$500 rifle. drover 223 Rem, my favorite cartridge - you can't argue with truckloads of dead PD's and gophers. 24hourcampfire.com - The site where there is a problem for every solution.

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) What mounts did you use?

I can tell you I had a T1X that had the worst chamber I ever seen in a rimfire and accuracy was in the crapper to, maybe I got the only bad one out there, the T1X is just like any other rifles in its price range, mass produced, some are probably good and some not so much. Theres a guy on another forum that posts multiple groups fired on one target, with match ammo and the groups are pretty good for what the rifle is.
