Anyone here own a Tikka T1x?

If so, how do you like it and what do you think of the current prices?

West Desert Shooter on yootoob has done a few videos on his.

Interesting. Let me check that channel...

I wonder what kind of optic you'd be putting on a .22LR precision rifle.

I have one and like it. I got from Sportsman's late last year, not sure what the prices are doing....are they going nuts?

I put a SWFA fixed 10 power on it I can hit steel at 300 yards when the wind isn't blowing. I changed the grip to the more vertical grip from Tikka, it didn't cost much. I really like it.

[heavyhaulin818]

Prices are around $600 plus fees. It’s just been much more enjoyable shooting manual arms that i am looking into getting at least one bolt action and revolver in each of my favorite calibers. From what i have discovered about these .22’s I don’t see a reason I would not be happy owning one.

Update...well went for it and secured me a NEW Tikka T1X .22lr in 16”. It is the only one I have seen for sale so I didn’t want to take a chance. I know most that buy T1X’s are going for the 20” but this will be for one of prepper/bug out kits. Thank you to everyone who contributed their thoughts...truly appreciate it.

Congrats I think those are tough to find. Barrel length in a 22lr is only really advantageous depending on what speed ammo you use if you want to stay subsonic. Otherwise pretty inconsequential.

[heavyhaulin818]

MongooseV8, thank you. I’d only read of the 16” version but never seen one for sale until today. I primarily use CCI Mini Mags and Aguila as they are what I was buying most of in .22lr. Bass Pro has HERTERS but don’t know much about them. Any suggestions on a fairly decent scope...this will be for varmint and as a little woods gun so up to 75 yards.

I like mine, got it from Sportsman's Warehouse last year in 17HMR, added KRG Bravo stock and Timney two stage trigger.

[Wheellock]

Congrats, I would be happy with the 16", I've just never seen one in person.

[heavyhaulin818]

MyOdessa, that is one super sexy rifle...may even copy you if that’s okay.
Wheellock, I’ve been searching and searching for a 16” and none of the shops had ever heard of one. I had also been looking on gunbroker just about every 5 minutes for over a year and today it happened. There it was on gunbroker, with only 10 views, I had to read through the description a few times to confirm what I was looking at lol.

Sweet rifle! 16" is sweet! I'd like a t1x one day, and the 16" is what I would want for sure. I have a 16.5 CZ 457 pro varmint and its money. At the time I was 50/50 tikka vs cz...the cz happened to be available.

Shorter barrels are good to go.
Not a current picture, but you get the message.

[heavyhaulin818]

Peahi2, those are some fine looking rifles. I almost bought the 20” ten times over but kept feeling like it wasn’t for me.
