Thread: Tikka T1x -stainless????

@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.

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.

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

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.
