I just picked up a Tikka T1X MTR. I tested Wolf MATCH EXTRA with a best of .455 at 50 yds. I also tested Norma Match-22 with a best of .415. I note that the Wolf had the lowest average of five groups of 5 rounds. I will move on to test several varieties of Eley Target, Club, Match and Tenex, SK Long Range and more. Thanks for a great video.

I just picked one up last Friday, and I’m loving it. I’m getting about the same if not better grouping out of SK standard plus which worked out well for me as I have a bunch that I used as practice ammo in my last gun. Going to run mine in the original stock to stay in base class for the rest of the NRL22 season. But I’ll be saving up for a chassis and better glass for next year.

T1X looks pretty sweet. I’ve got a T3X 300WM that is sub half minute at 100 yards which make an awesome elk hunting rifle.

I just picked one up over a CZ 457 At-One, mainly for weight, as this will be a woods/field rifle, and backup rifle for our KYL shoots. Mine is shooting everything from CCI SV to SK LR very well, whereas my CZ is a bit more picky on ammo. I mean sub 1MOA even at 100 for a $500 rifle! Very impressed. I felt the action and trigger on the T1x was an improvement over the CZ. But I did like the CZ stock (Varmint) MUCH better.

Got one- excellent but I also get very good accuracy from my 10/22 that was made in 1968...Buddy with a CZ and I are going to go head to head soon.

I’ve got a T1X and really enjoy it. It will shoot 1 moa consistently with most decent ammo at 50 and 100 yds. It really likes Center X and will shoot .5 to .75 moa with it and close to as good with SK long range match. Action torque really makes a big difference on mine. I look forward to part two.

The Tikka T1x is nice but that Bergara BMR with a carbon fiber wrapped barrel is certainly turning heads, mine included! 💥

I have CZ in rim and center fire, I have tikka and a bergara in center fire. Hands down CZ is the best. It is the most accurate, and to me the smoothness in the bolt is very noticeable on the CZ. I keep them all stock with their triggers turned down to 2lbs, it’s what I like. They have medium to high quality scopes. I just can’t say enough CZ is the best of the three.

Жыл бұрын

Why would you ever upgrade a barrel on 22LR is what I wonder. I actually came across a CZ475 kit at the store with two barrels in the factory box. One is 17HMR and the other 22LR. Thought to myself, well it’s kinda cool but would you ever swap barrels after scope and all sighted in and shooting good and straight. I don’t know, maybe I am wrong on that topic and some people would love that option. It was kind of expensive though for a small caliber rifle kit-$1175CAD.

Running the T1X with a Leupold 2x7. It is a small game -target gun. Getting .4 groups at 50 yards with Midas +, SK match shoots good, looking for some center X to try. Mine does not like Eley. Only problem is I have ejection issues.

I've got the 457 Precision Trainer, came in a Manners Stock with MTR chamber, they're not the same price as the Tikka though. Mine hasn't been picky on ammo, even with standard CCI it will shoot sub MOA.

Thanks for the review. Wonder how it compares to the CZ 455 Night Sky.

I shoot Precision Bench rest so the T1x allows me to shoot Factory class, since it is under $500. Now if it weren't for a Winchester 52D I might take first place this year. The guy has shot 750 out of 750 twice this year. I beat him this month shooting 748 to his 747. I love my CZ but can't find any ammo that brings it into the same light as my T1x.

Trying to get that done this month

You definitely can swap some things between T1x and T3x but will you? I have both, and only thing i swap between them is bipod, which you could swap between xxx-brand and Tikka. Otherwise really good rifles, even better with aftermarket stock. Only thing i would change is safety, i'd like to have 3-position safety. But that is what Sako is made for. If you are planning to buy both, i suggest to buy Picatinny rail for both, if you want to swap between scopes. T1x has 11mm rail and T3x (Lite etc.) has 13mm rail. I have had few problems with T1x magazines, mainly feeding problems. Few times i had to remove magazine and adjust the bullet in the magazine. Overall they are reliable and fine shooting rifles. Just my 2 cents here, thanks for your video. It was well made, i searched for this kind of videos before purchasing my own.

Great video, what optic was that?

Those are slightly worse groups then my T1X gets off a bipod with CCI SV. They do require some action torque tuning to perform and it shows up in the group shapes you are getting (a few tight then a flier). I'll say this as well. At my last NRL22 match I saw over half the production rifles having feed problems, I was the only T1X and it's flawless. Mag changes are significantly faster than anything except a 700 platform action.

I have a CZ for my .22 and a Tikka for my full caliber- They both shoot hole in hole type of accuracy.

Just an aside to the value comments, in my limited experience, I have never shot a Sako/Tikka barrel that wasn't a very good shooter. I have seen less consistency with CZ factory barrels .

Curious if you tried to just adjust the trigger via the adjustment screw. I've got a T1X in an Oryx chassis and have adjusted the trigger to what's a nice (for me) crisp 2lbs. I was lucky enough to get a hold of the T1X just before COVID at a nice price. I really enjoy it, especially in the Oryx chassis. I can get sub .8 in, 10 round groups at 100 yards with ammo it likes (SK and Eley) using just a cheap UTG bipod and rear bag (and I don't pretend to be the most steady shot at 58 years old 😉). The only thing I'm not crazy about, well 2 things, are the silly plastic thread protector and the fairly short bolt handle. I do have a longer handle ready to go but can't for the life of me break the screw that's holding the original and I don't want to strip it. 🤦🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️. All that said tho, I'm thinking of also buying a 457 cause I'm enjoying shooting the .22 T1X more than I had imagined and I'm a variety is the spice of life, curious kinda guy (and a CZ handgun enthusiast).

It may be but i think the mtr is the better value gun by far. If your gonna look at the upr then it really is closer to the cz 457 vpt mtr or the bergara b14r which i think both offer more for the money. The 457 vpt comes with a stupid good manners stock and the bergara....well its 700 compatible so thats a huge win. But I have not personally seen a upr on the shelves

Do you find the bolt handle is to far forward while shooting

It feels natural to me Don

T1x comes in more variants then just MTR and the stock trigger is adjustable with a torx screw right behind it right from the factory.. Don't teach people when your facts aint straight. :) Best wishes from Sweden.

Hi Ken. The US doesnt have a ton of variants of these floating around, your basically stuck getting that 1 version of the mtr. If i said the trigger was not adjustable that may have been a mental mistake on my part as it is adjustable. I believe i even call the triggers a wash between the two implying they are of the same basic quality and adjustability. Im human and make mistakes like everyone else so apologize for any misinformation i may have portrayed.

@@PursuitofAccuracy actually. Do an accuracy test lol. Shoot groups with the support in and take it out then do more groups. Thanks in advance.

Accuracy potential of the Tikka is for more than any rimfire I've seen . The action looks like a center fire benchrest action. Rigid with a large bedding surface. The rimfire ammo is the weak link in accuracy compared to the rifle. The the firearms designers at Tikka must be accuracy buffs.

I think the tikka is a great rifle. Dont necessarily agree that its the best rimfire but its for sure a good one.

@@PursuitofAccuracy I do not own a precision bolt action rimfire but from my research don't think the Tikka can be beat. I have been pleáse with my old Remington 121 pump and Winchester model 61. They do what I need in the hunting fields.

@@PursuitofAccuracy I have witnessed a Marlin model 60 Simi auto tube fed rifle win a 50 yard hunter class bench rest match for score against Anshutz , Remington 40x and 541s and Winchester 52 bolt actions. No competitors in the match would sell their target rifles or traded for a Marlin model 60. That is the thing about mass produced rifles , sometimes it is the luck of the draw on accuracy of a firearms. There is always exceptions to the rules. Just from a design stand point , the Tikka has the potential for accuracy. I doubt there are many crooked shooting Tikka T1Xs. So far from what I have seen , the Tikka is a world beater.

@Pursuit of Accuracy I'd agree with your assessment 100%. I shoot a 457 Precision Trainer, MTR with a Trigger Tech.....so I might be biased. I've shot with Ray over at X Ring.....he ran circles on me !
