Maybe Cabela's ran out of stock and won't get anymore for a while.
I bought a T1X from Cabelas. The bolt finish was rough, had to sand the bottom end cause they stamp numbers and letters there. Also the barrel finish was poor. No longer with me.

Maybe Cabelas just gets the crap batches all the time. I ordered 2 10/22's from Cabelas years ago and they were absolutely garbage machined. Sent them back immediately.
I bought a T1X the day they hit the Canadian market and couldn't be more happy. I'm looking to pick up another for a long range build. I was wondering if maybe they'd expand the line offerings like CZ does, but they would need to make the actions compatible with all t3x stocks and accessories. That is one of the huge appeals of the t1x.
^I can relate.I almost feel guilty leaving the other 22s in the safe. Weird thing is, I have 22s I think I like more...but it's the Tikka I want to shoot most.
I don't own a 54 Annie so my perspective might be missing that component, but I think part of the Tikka's strength (especially for positional shooting) is the lock time. I know the Sako Quad was considered one of the absolute fastest and I doubt the T1X is far behind. Makes my 1416 feel a bit lethargic.

I have a few expensive rifles, Anschutz, Martini Internationals, Remington 40x & Vudoo. That said I still enjoy shooting my Tikka T1X. I doubt that Tikka will discontinue this rifle.
What is the T1X lock time?
Just means Cabelas has NO more to SELL ! RJ

Perhaps there is a difference in lock time that a discerning shooter can detect between a T1X and some Anschutz 64 models. For the average shooter it can't be easy.
For readers who may be wondering about what lock time refers, below is a brief explanation.
lock time is how long it is between the trigger
sear's disengagement and when the firing pin strikes the primer's cup.
Custom triggers oft times reduce lock time as they have lighter-weight
sear pieces or other moving parts whose mass can slow down lock times.
See https://yarchive.net/gun/rifle/lock_time.html
Lock time is measured in milliseconds -- 1 ms being 0.001 seconds or one-one thousands of a second. A fast lock time is no more than 2 ms (or about .002 seconds). A slow lock time is 4 to 5 ms. To illustrate with an example, a newer Anschutz 54 (18xx and newer) have lock times of 1.7 ms.
Silhouette shooters no doubt prefer faster to slower lock times. A very experienced shooter can discern to some extent if a lock time in one rifle is significantly faster or slower than on another. Certainly there is a degree of psychological comfort for a silhouette shooter to know that he's not affected by a slower lock time.
