Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Rimfires Ruger American Rimfire vs Tikka T1X

That SS one is pretty sharp.

Is the T1X available in a compact threaded configuration?

Yes, they have a 16” threaded barrel.

Have both exact rifles you ask about. For ultimate accuracy across the board in my rifles, the t1x slightly beats the ruger. For hunting, either would be great with their favorite ammo. The ruger is more kid friendly "adjustable", the t1x more "adult" sized. Just fyi, a cheaper than both Savage mk II FVSR that I have will outshoot both! ( the t1x is more accurate with all ammo on average, the Savage will shoot the smallest groups with a lot of wolf target it likes- and averages the ruger out across the board by a small margin). I would suggest the short barrel t1x if you use suppressors.

By compact, do you mean a shorter LOP stock?

Its basically a t3x stock with a plastic butt plate instead of the 1in recoil pad, so it does have a shorter lop. But a true compact youth size...no.

Here is a 16in threaded in a tikka ctr stock I picked up for cheap.

Thanks, I want a few now....

You can also replace the plastic butt pad on the T1X with a T3X factory recoil pad. I found one on ebay for $8 and did this only because I like the rubber pad more since it doesn’t slide around when shouldered and it added maybe 1/2-3/4” of length. The T3X pad fits perfect with no mods needed.
