But the high quality scope made an excellent addition to the rifle and was sure to give solid confirmation on the accuracy of the T1X. I had mounted my Kahles 318i on the rifle, which is much more scope than this rifle needs. With rifle and ammo in hand, I headed to my shooting spot to get this Tikka warmed up. This feature made the rifle easily fitted to a new shooter in just a few seconds.
At the back of the stock, there are depressible buttons to adjust both the comb height and length of pull. The detachable ten-round magazine fits neatly into the bottom of the stock, and the forward mounted release tab is easily manipulated for loading. 17HMR barrel with a one-in-nine twist, and as it should be, the muzzle was nicely crowned and threaded 1/2-28 which is exactly what my host-less rimfire cans need. The rifle came chambered with a twenty-inch. The trigger in the T1X is a great little single stage trigger, the clean break also reminded me of the trigger I fell in love with on my T3. But I was so expecting to feel what my T3 does, that it caught me off guard to have such a short bolt-throw and stroke. The polished finish of the T1X bolt-knob was reminiscent of every T3 rifle I’ve ever shot, and ran similar as well. Handsome polymer sections were placed at all the likely ground contact points, and dual front sling-studs for both a sling and a bipod. The thumbhole-stock was not what I call a good fit to my hand, but it was not an issue at all as I generally run my thumb parallel to my trigger finger. Of course after checking the rifle I had to get it to my shoulder and see how it felt. The handsome curves of Tikka actions flow very well with the aesthetics of the stock, and the fit was good and tight as well. The handsome little rifle had come to me married to a Boyd’s At-One hardwood stock, in a bright red color. I have to admit, I was quite pleasantly surprised when I opened the box containing the T1X. The T1X maintains a great deal of Tikkas popular design and features, some of them just downsized to fit the rimfire sized action. Today we are taking a look at another popular model, the Tikka T1X rimfire. Ask the question in most any forum about what is the best buy for a sharp shooting rifle, and many of the comments immediately start coming back with: Tikka, T3X, and so on. Tikka has made a great name for themselves here in the US firearms market.
