As most of you would have noticed it appears these are now available on the NZ market (in blued synthetic)
I am thinking of up grading my existing 17HMR.
Has anyone been advised/understand/had confirmation as to whether a stainless version will be released at some stage?
Google is not that helpful...
Can be patient if I absolutely have to (and would prefer stainless to match my 3 other T3’s)...
Thanks,
Ben
I have my t1x and loving it.
Pretty even with the lithgow for finish and accuracy I reckon.
Will keep both and the kids can fight over them when I'm gone!

Be nice if they did a left handed in stainless....
Don't believe there has been any official announcement, I think you would be waiting a long time as Tikka is flat out producing the current model.
I too have one and it's awesome, all my other rimfires have been blued steel so I wasn't too worried about stainless or not.
As far as im aware (I work for Beretta) there is no Stainless T1x in the pipeline.
It may eventually happen, but if it did it would probably be a matter of years till they hit the market.
@ChrisW any plans for the lefties? Was a big reason y I went for tikka centrefire
Yup aversion training :redbullsmiley:Quote:

I am not aware of any plans for Left Hand T1x's. That of course does not mean its not going to happen, it just means im not currently aware of any plans for it as yet.Quote:

@andyanimal31 how are you finding the accuracy? Is it .22 or .17?
Have been trying different ammo and seems to like cci standard the best.Quote:

Send it up Andy so I can try before I buy
OK but what about accuracy? Group sizes? I’ve seen some mixed results on various forums and YouTube. When it’s good it’s very good but not all rifles seem to like that same ammo which is one of those conundrums that seem to crop up from time to time. Some of the accuracy tests have been pretty ordinary.Quote:

@Flyblown shot this target couple of days ago.
Have put about 120 rounds through my 16" 22 now, accuracy keeps on improving.

@ChrisW are you able to explain why the 22lr has such a funny looking low hanging magazine, whilst the 17hmr doesn't?
I've seen pictures and reports of the 22lr model in Sweeden having a magazine that looks like the 17hmr one.
Thanks @Beetroot. It is really encouraging to see some groups like this - half a minute of rabbit head. I think the word is out that these rifles need quite a bit of running in, some of the accuracy reviews I’ve seen were with new rifles and a couple just didn’t like certain ammo at all.
An old mate in the UK has now got his rifle reliably shooting tiny little groups (subs, CCI I think), at first it was errr, not so sure, so he basically just shot cans and any old crap for 200+ shots or maybe more, just to get it run in. He absolutely loves his T1x now and is going the whole NV mission, the works.
That was 60 yds and put about a 100 through so far.Quote:

Im not sure sorry. We were unaware it was going to be like that till the 22LR actually showed up a month or so ago.Quote:
