If it just weren't so ugly. There is that aspect but the small groups they shoot makes me forget about the ugly. drover

I'd like to see how accurate these T1X really are before I buy one. Let's see some 5 shot prove it targets and with distance.
If you never leave your comfort zone you will never expand it.

Big stone, go back to the start of this chat and see the target photos. 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.

I was in the Salmon, Idaho Murdochs on the 9th and they were still selling them for $399.99. I have no idea if they will ship or only sell in-store but if a person wanted one it might be worth a phone call.
drover Drover, Their webpage said that they would not ship them. Or there would be one on the way here... Jerry

I'd like to see how accurate these T1X really are before I buy one. 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. ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/26mPdZqd/Tikka-T-1-CCI-SK-condtioning-groups.jpg) 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. ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/ncMN1ZLW/Tikka-T-1-X-5-n-10-shot-groups-of-SK-rifle-match.jpg) drover

Were those five 5-shot groups with different ammo or the same brand/load? And what was the ammo? Thanks.
Pursuit may be, it seems to me, perfect without possession.

CCI std velocity for all of those pictured. Somewhere I have a target shot with the SK Magazine if I can find it I will post some pictures of them - they are not all that much smaller but just "rounder".

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: ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/1UdTOkI.jpg) Tried some different ammo and shot this group (10 rounds here) ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/rq5c2nx.jpg) 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)  What mounts did you use?

I just scored a T1x off gunbroker for $440, so I am hoping it shoots as well as all of these posted targets.

Sorry for the late response, 16bore... I used a DIP rail with cheap Vortex Hunter rings.

1/4" and 3/8" groups at 50 yards with a sub 500 dollar rifle ? and with hunting ammo ? . 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.
