The new Tikka T1X Rimfire

I was able to get my hands on the new Tikka rimfire at Shot Show last week. As for quality, it is as you would expect from Finland. Bolt operation and trigger felt good as well and I could live with the mags. The stock is workable but I would prefer a chassis type of some sort like the Ruger even though it's polymer. I'm sure if Tikka went that route the cost would go up considerably. Overall, it's a real nice rifle but now I have to decide between the Tikka or the Ruger.

I'm not sure I'm interpreting this correctly; is this gun using the same stock as the centerfire T3x guns, just with different bottom metal? It's never going to be a looker, so I don't really care about a wood stock for it, but I'll bet it will be a shooter; if it could be dropped into a B&C I think that would make an interesting CZ-beater.


Is it even accurate to refer to the Ruger stock as a "chassis"? It's a molded hunk of plastic...just like this stock and so many others...so the fact that it looks a bit different hardly entitles it to the title. I must admit that the Ruger looked appealing to me when I saw the first picture, but as soon as I read "polymer stock" I lost interest completely. They made a cheap stock to mimic a real chassis, hoping to grab the market that wants to look cool, but doesn't care if that's all it does, i.e. look cool.

Choosing between the Ruger and the Tikka is a no-brainer IMHO...this gun wins.

They are selling for $650 in Canada no idea where you got 1400 from.
 
Good to see 16" and the 20" barrel offering.
I've grown fond of the long barrels like my cz452 lux with 25" barrel. The long barrel really makes it quieter for the shooter.
I hope Tikka offers the T1x in 24" or something like that in the future.
I like the 75degree bolt throw of the Tikka, so I still plan on getting one regardless.
 
Well I have a .17 HMR on order. I hope the stocks from T3 fits. I No longer have any T3 but I do have a T3 laminated stock and a Robertson composite stock. Will try both and see what works for me. Friggin ammo seems expensive.

I need to gain some MOA and I assume a scope rail for a T3 or T3x would fit this wouldn't it?

I am hoping so, I grabbed a 20 MOA tikka rail in the auction a couple weeks ago just incase, if it doesn't work then I know my burris signature zee rings with the inserts will
 
The T1x has an 11mm dovetail it is drill and tap but the hole spacing is different from the T3, also the action it's self is shorter. I don't think a T3 rail will fit.

If this is true, how can T3 stocks possibly fit? There seems to be a lot of conflicting info on this gun...even more than every other new gun that is ever announced. :)
