Thread: tikka .22 accuracy

We have all heard of the accuracy of Tikka rifles "out of the box" Does this also apply to the .22 bolt?What group sizes have people achieved?

Have been using a T1X Roughtech Emerald a bit lately , with the green fleck in the stock
Havnt done a lot of 200yrd testing but a nice 70mm triangular group at that distance is the norm in zero breeze with cci standard velocity ammo

The solid nose is slightly more accurate than the hollow nose

This is 7mmsaum’s old gun at 50m
Averages 0.38” at the same distance.

Just bouncing of that thread, have you guys noticed a decrease in accuracy in the more recent batches of cci hp subsonic ammo lately?
Somehow some of my good rifles don’t shoot them as well as they used to.

I'm using Tac-22, found it more consistent velocity wise than CCI.

I have not used any new batches sorry

Still using old batches at the moment

The only Sub HPs I use now are the Eley 38gr.
More accurate and more consistent kills than any other subs I have used.

T1x are good shooters but it depends greatly on the ammo used.

HP subs or supers are probably not going to be amazing, but match ammo should shoot well.

If you are looking for a hunting rifle then a T1x with HP subs should be excellent.

Every brand has shooters and duds.
My 1st T1x was returned and replaced but im sure the accuracy problem was the plastic stock that i couldn't touch without voided my warranty . Ironically i think the replacement didn't have the accuracy potential of the 1st but if i can't put a cci sub in an eyeball of something i know its my fault. You know the gun is good if at 50m one click makes a difference when sighting in

Well time to be spending time at the range to find out what my darlings fancy ,I guess.

Mucking round laying on the neighbours lawn over Christmas with a 3-9 scope. Plenty good enough for anything I’ll ever do
CCI Sub HP

Dead bunny's right there,that's all you need.

All mine are 5 shot groups.
0.26” at 50m with cold barrel.

I had one when they first came out and threw all the good stuff at it, eley, sk, rws and it would only go around 20mm at 50m, unfortunately that meant it got sold pretty quickly. I then grabbed an HMR thinking it was a wonder round, it shot no.better but ammo back then was pretty average

Duplicates my experience with a TX1. Most common 22s are a bit of a "barrel lottery".
