The idea that it can take the same stocks is pretty good.
Can easily and cheaply build a good 22 trainer.
great idea building it full sized . . . wondering if the price will be full sized as well . . i am betting it will be
Looks good
Would be a great learners rifle for the kids before a transition into a centerfire rifle with the same feel apart from the bolt and weight.
I wonder what weight they will be? A 17hmr one would be fun.
The weight is listed as 2.4kg for the 16" barrel and 2.6 for the 20".
Pretty good considering they have a somewhat heavy barrel.
RRP in the USA is 500usd, so Street price will be nearer 400usd.
Hopefully the price here will stay under a grand as the CZs are around $800.
I hope the barrel thread will be 1/2"x20 as and not x28" as I have heard online.
Saw a video from Australia, they were saying $995.... It's all theory until they are on the shelf though
Don't think even my pointless spending could justify that much on some plastic.
funny thing to me is these will take sales away from the Sako Quads
we are going to wait and see . . . my guess is a price of about the same or a little less than a Sako Quad . . . CZ wont come into it, they have positioned themselves in the under 1k market, the Lithgow is about the ugliest rifle on the planet so appeals to a segment of the market i dont want to think about
how about a guess on a price . . . i say about $1200

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
Been a cross over style stock and a heavier contour barrel it's got it's uses for what it as designed for.
It has arguably one of the nicest built and useable smooth actions I have played with so far.
I also don't mind the slight twist they have finished the barrel with.
Coupled with that not to shabby accuracy wise either.
Each to their own anyway.
Life would be boring if we liked the same things!

I think for $800 or $900 they'd be a good deal, anymore and I think they'd get lost in the market.
For $800 I'd buy one too replace my CZ (if they turn out as good as expected), the 10 round almost flash mag would be great.
But at $1200+ I'd stick with my CZs and go for an Annie or Sako were I looking for something a bit nicer.
And I'm a Tikka fanboy.
So @rossi.45 is that safe going to bulged a little more now at $1099??
i think i need to buy another safe . . .
@Nibblet where did you get the price from ?
3 birds, one stone

The price of the T1X will have to be reasonable as the vast majority of .22 users out there go for cheap. A friend recently bought a Weihrauch .22LR bolt action at a H&F store for $1000 - normal retail is $1295. Salesman said it had been sitting there for at least a year as just about all the .22LR rifles sold were Norinco's, 10/22's etc; occasionally a CZ for the more discerning customer but they were not that common. Most customers just weren't interested in quality .22's.
Most of us on a forum like this appreciate an accurate, well made .22LR but we are in the minority.
What’s a new Sako Quad worth? Not the laminate version
The Weihrauch is a great rimfire, but you could use it as a boat anchor

i had a look at NZ prices of Sako Quads the other day . . . $2200 for the RANGE model & $1800 for a Finnfire2 . . . so $1099 for a Tikka isn't a surprise
worldwide i think Tikka will sell a heap of them . . . not to most shooters but to guys that will appreciate them.
i take my hate off to Tikka for the design/concept of this rifle . . . its cheaper than a Sako by a good margin & has features that are differeent enough from the Sako to round out the line of quality rimfires in the Beretta lineup, well done.
If you are not into the CZ it can be a bit tricky buying around that price range. I ended up getting a wood T-Bolt last year ago as wanted something reasonably light to carry in the hand and felt the Finnfire/Quad option a bit pricey. Even though I’m not a Tikka fan boy I would have probably gone down that road. I’m just not that into the T-Bolt now I have it. Or maybe it’s just that a more expensive 22 just feels a bit pointless for what you want it for...
first off a small correction needed in my last post . . . i meant to say i take my hat off tikka, not hate . . . damm that auto spell check
i do have 2 Quads, with diffeerent stocks and barrels, probably sell one . . . . the main reason i like the Tikka is because its a full sized rifle, most rimfires feel sawed off to me.
i still have to handle one and find the money before anything happens . . . could be awhile . . . plenty of time to see the reviews etc
this is where we differ @LOC
Or maybe it’s just that a more expensive 22 just feels a bit pointless for what you want it for...
a quality firearm is just a pleasure to carry and use . . . going back to a cheaper rife would be the pits
maybe they will drop in price after the initial fanfare dies down . . . or to many are sitting on dealers shelves for to long.
who knows . . no one can ever pick the winners in advance.
for $1499 this is a real jump in performance . . .

My view is probably a bit cynical but I still don't get how firearms are priced so expensive here in nz. Well I kinda do but I still think its excessive. T1x doesn't seem as bad as others. The more expensive the retail here the more overpriced I think firearms are compared to the US.
MSRP on the T1x is $499, (wholesale and retail profit is already in the MSRP) convert that to nzd thats give or take $700.
+ some shipping....
+ some Import export paperwork.
+ the fluctuating exchange rate so more profit safety margin built in there.
+ GST
That still doesn't get near the 1100nzd retail.
Small market/buying power in nz aswell. I think thats probably the biggest factor.
But at the end of the day I would much rather pay that extra and live here than alot of other places in the world. So much we take for granted everyday.
But hunting and shooting we have it reasonably good.
Deer season is 365 days of the year in most parts on permitted doc land. No fee, No tags. Excluding balloted areas obviously.
I would love to get one but ill stick to my JW-15 until I have more disposable income, or they release a stainless one thats priced reasonable.
