Glad to see all the positives about the tikka...I just looked at one in 17HMR yesterday and am trying to figure out a reason that I don't need it....

I'm in the same situation but I want to hang a suppressor on the end.

Tikka's website has 16" and 20" factory threaded barrels to choose from - though I haven't found anyplace that seems to have the 16" version for sale.

Ideally I would find someone who has shot both lengths with suppressors on each to discuss the finer points but have not found him yet.

As for CZ - so far as I can tell they don't have a factory threaded .17 HMR in the 457 lineup. Otherwise I'd give them a look.

You do. I did too.

Tikka didn’t bring the 16” model to the States. Just the 20” to date.

My gift to myself for surviving this chaos with one wife and three daughters is going to head T1X. "Stay in your house" they say. My house is trying to kill me too.

I finally shot my RAR predator 17hmr today and was pleasantly surprised. I know it’s not on your list but for the money I was happy. For riding in a side by side and general farm use it’s my go to.

Super tight groups at 100 yards with a .17HMR takes a very calm day. Doesn't take much of a breeze to bump that little bullet around.

Being a Lefty, my choices are a little more restrictive than normal. I have a T-Bolt which I really like. I could buy an Anschutz, or Savage. I believe Vudoo will be offering a 17 HMR later this year but that is speculation and hearsay.

If I were a RH shooter, I would buy the Tikka T1x.

There is no reason you should not own one.

I guess when I start getting my azz handed to me by guys shooting Tikka T1x rifles, I might consider buying one myself...but until that happens, I'll keep shooting my savages...
