Home Forums Hunting & Shooting The Lefty Forum Tikka T1X

greetings fellow lefties, I don’t think anyone has mentioned this yet, I was just on the Tikka website and they say the T1X is now available in lefty version, I’ve sent Beretta in Australia an email to see when they’ll be available here but haven’t heard back yet-.

https://www.tikka.fi/rifles/tikka-t1x/t1x-mtr

Please let us know what they say. There catalogue stated available in left hand last year for a short time but they eventually removed and none have were produced at that time. I really want one so would love to find out they finally did it!

will do! I’m pretty keen to get one myself.

Following, I'm going to buy a righty but if a lefty is coming out this year might as well wait

I'll buy one as soon as they are available here.

Bring it on, I would buy a lefty stainless version in a heart beat.

Ditto.

Picked one up accuracy looks promising but the trigger sux big time. Tried adjusting down feels a bit better. Trigger is a bit on the thin side, maybe it's feel better with a trigger shoe.

Where were you able to find one?

Picked up off of Zanders.

a lefty?

only .22lr and .17HMR, no .22 mag?

I bought a 17 HMR RH version of this rifle last year. It's accurate and has a decent trigger. But it will not feed correctly if you load the magazine full. The most I can load is 6 to have fool proof feeding. Not a deal breaker, just an annoyance.
The real PITA was trying to deal with Berretta and Tikka. They wouldn't respond to any emails or telephone calls. Finally called the seller, Europtics and they made a few calls and a replacement mag was sent to me. It helped as the original mag fed even worse.

If you never have any issues they are an excellent value. But I swore off buying any Tikka again due to their disgusting lack of customer service.

Yep, love to own a .17...

Looks like tikka has a YouTube video of the left hand t1x up so now we just need to find someone that can get us some!

They have a big write up on it on thefirearmblog.com, fyi

I've been in touch with EuroOptic to get us an ETA.

"Big?" You must be one of those guys who thinks 2 inches is the same as six. There are exactly 12 sentences on TFB in their "BIG WRITE UP" of the left-handed T1x, and they simply regurgitate Tikka's own press release. No sampled test, no official MSRP, no nothing.

TFB's BIG WRITE UP

TFB posted what is known as a "BLURB." Here is a definition of a "BLURB."

You're still here? Damn, I was hoping covid got you.

You didn't actually READ TFB's little blurb, did you, hence your reference of a BIG WRITE UP? It's always handy when someone dispenses "advice" from material they've never read. It's like we're all getting an invitation to someone's own little garden of stupidity. Consider this my RSVP, Caroline the Panter.

I did read it. You have never contributed anything to this forum. I was just letting people know it was there. Your arrogance, lack of bringing knowledge, or anything substantial to this forum is overwhelming. It's apparent youre a sad lonely old man who will be missed by no one when you're gone.

You're obviously not much of a "reader" if you think 12 sentences -- which were only a regurgitation of Tikka's basic press release -- are a "BIG WRITE UP." There wasn't any testing or evaluation. There wasn't any availability or release date. There wasn't even an official MSRP. Just a simple announcement that the rifle is coming. Everyone already knew that. By your own criteria you have FAILED to bring any knowledge or anything substantial to this discussion. Try again, Carolyn the Panter.

You're a [bleep] tool. Once again you bring nothing to the table.

Says the guy hawking TFB's "BIG WRITE UP." Did I miss where TFB shot one in their "BIG WRITE UP?" Did I miss where TFB even handled one in their "BIG WRITE UP?"

And what was it EXACTLY, you "brought to the table," Catherine Panter?

Jackie douchebag- you didn't even know that article existed before I brought it to your attention. You are a sorry excuse a member of the shooting community. You're a keyboard warrior who everyone on this forum loathes. Go on and remove yourself from this forum

Well that's at least a left hand T1X in the flesh, so we must be one step closer to a release.

Does the "BIG WRITE UP" actually examine and shoot a left-handed T1x or not, Carrie Panter?

Are you autistic or something? You hold onto one [bleep] point and lick it like a window. Go the [bleep] away. No one wants you here. Douchebag

You're just too easy, Carrie Ann the Panter.

To,too,two. Learn the difference. Now go away.

So who's shooting these things? Is the 17 HMR as accurate as one would expect from a Tikka?

I'm going to sell my Savage 17hmr and pick one of these up. I hope I don't regret it. The Savage is a shooter with the bull barrel, but is ugly as sin. Really excited about these. Honestly, i would like one in both calibers.

So I’ve been a bit busy of late so haven’t followed this up, Beretta haven’t answered my email and haven’t answered the phone on the two occasions I’ve called, not sure what’s going on there, but they are being advertised in a couple of shops here but only to pre-order none actually in stock yet, I might try calling one of the shops and see if they know anything, will report back, though I suspect they’ll be available in the US before here, I know we had to wait longer for the right handers when they were released.

Don't mind that little twerp. He was banned from a University even long before the Rona virus.
Just another little man narcissist forum resident hiding under a troll bridge like little twig.

Mentioned before I own the RH 17 HMR model. Bought it for the wife but she never shoots it. Its very accurate, easily under .40 at 50 yards. Trigger is very good. My complaint is you can only load 6 or 7 in the mag. Any more and it will not feed properly. The spring in the mag is not strong enough to force the cartridges up high enough. Not a deal breaker but it pizzes me off. This rifle wears a Weaver 4x16 and if I miss a crow or squirrel at 100 yards I know its my fault.

I think I’d be tempted if they make a leftie available in 17HMR.

If the rifle can be configured to handle 17 WSM I think they would have quite a bit of interest in it. It amazes me that the 17 WSM hasn’t been better adopted by the gun manufacturers.

What kind of moronic, illiterate nonsense are you blathering about NOW?

Here's an example of an ACTUAL WRITE UP TFB did on the T1x last year, Jethro: https://www.thefirearmblog.com/blog...3IirO8BM20HdrlSKnU69eAtYhrfr2bRUpdGyJt8k

And here's an informational video on the T1x by some Limey:


I realize these references don't have a lot of shiny things to hold your attention or penetrate your thick Neanderthal-like skull you believe to hold a brain, but maybe modern science will offer a breakthrough. But probably not.

Jacky troll,

I see you want back and fixed your mistake. You obviously know what im talking about you sad and lonely excuse for a man.

Maybe one day you will be welcomed somewhere. Till then, you can excuse yourself from this forum. This forum is full of generally helpful folks who enjoy teaching and sharing knowledge. You bring nothing. Go play in traffic and do us all a favor.

What have you "contributed" or have you been "teaching and sharing," Carol the Panter? Illiteracy? Ignorance? Short-attention span? Anger management issues?

You haven't offered a single piece of useful information in this discussion. Not one.

I turn that question back to you. What have you contributed? Nothing. You're a piss poor excuse of the shooting community who does nothing but trample on others in order to build your own ego. You're the one with the poor grammer, and one track mind. I hope you seek higher education.

You haven't offered a single piece of useful information in this discussion. Not one.

God bless you.

At the end of the day Jackie, I don't care what you say or do. I just wanted to bring it to your attention that the way you address folks makes you invalidate anything you are trying to say. Maybe for the sake of others, you can chill out and be friendly. All while possibly bringing something to the table. Your choice.

I hate to break up this quarrel but wanted to give the last info I received today from EuroOptic. Beretta Rep told them to expect the rifles later this year but gave no date in particular.

@OSU_Sig, did they mention any quantities?

No, but my guys at EO are going to get more info from them. They are working Beretta hard to get them early.

I told my contact to put my name on several when they came in as I feel there will be some guys here who will want one. I'm going to get one of each.

I personally can't decide which one I want more, my budget will only allow for one. I know i would shoot the 22LR more, but the 17hmr is far more capable. Choices.

And that's a hard choice to make. So you can take the next 4-5 months to evaluate your decision then flip a coin...

Though I doubt I'll be able to afford two, I'd love to get one for each of my boys, both of whom shoot LH! Might have to put some pressure on their Mom that it's a good deal and a lifelong investment.

Just contacted Euro Optic regarding a LH 20" 22 LR. He said they are now expecting them in later October.

Euro Optic has all four versions listed, according to an email I got from them today it’s looking like late this year or early next year due to the virus.

Looks like there is one of these in 17 hmr on gunbroker. More than I’m willing to pay but a good sign none the less

Left hand tikka t1

20" 17 HMR have not shot it yet trying to find mounts for it T3 X Lo will work but sits pretty hi. for my SWFA 2.5X10 UL scope. Probably will use Weaver base and weaver style lo rings.

Say it ain't so!!! Is it a .22LR? Had a chance to choot it yet?

I spoke with Eurooptic yesterday. They had 1 LH 17 HMR and no 22LR's. The 22 may not be here until late January. Incidentally, I bought the last remaining 17 HMR yesterday.

I'll be curious to hear your range reports on the new iron. The .22 has me interested.....
