The action is all steel with a hunter-friendly matt blued steel finish as with the barrel, so both are hard wearing and non-reflective. It means you are familiar with the operating and handling of the rifle and the trigger and safety are the same. Similarities to the bigger T3x are obvious, with only the shorter bolt movement, smaller ejection port and magazine projection from the stock defining it as a T1x.
It makes sense and that action size creates a great bedding area and stable platform and adds very little weight. I do like the fact that you have the familiar feel and handling of a full-sized Tikka centrefire rifle, but tailored to the rimfire cartridge. In this article I wanted to see how I could alter some of the good handling characteristics of the basic model with Tikka’s own add-on accessories and customise the rifle to better suit my use. This all adds up to what has become a very popular rimfire rifle, with Tikka’s excellent accuracy and build quality, all for a very reasonable starting price of £750. The trigger is the same as on the T3x, so there is no need to change it, but aftermarket springs and units are available. You have all the features you need for a good vermin gun with no open sights but integral dovetails or aftermarket mounts, a detachable 10-shot magazine and synthetic stock, and even a UPR semi-tactical/target model (£1,300) added to the range.Īccuracy is no issue with any Tikka as the barrels are hammer forged, with a high degree of precision from the button rifling. Lefties will be happy as Tikka are always good at supplying left-handed versions of their rifles and the T1x is no exception. The Tikka website has a very good rifle configuration program where you can design a T1x as you like it, but check with GMK that they are all available.
17 HMR with a 16" or 20" barrel length option and UNF thread. As I am a life-long custom-rifle/try-anything sort of chap this opens up a whole world of possibilities to create the perfect rimfire Tikka T1x for your type of shooting – or just to pimp it up a little. This T1x model is a rimfire designed to mimic the proportions of their hugely successful T3x centrefire rifle and thus has the same action profile to accept most T3 accessories and stock alternatives. My son and I shoot an original Sako Finnfire that has served us well over decades of use, so I was really interested when Tikka announced they were making a rimfire bolt action rifle.
