Having a T3x that I greatly enjoy, thoughts turn as they will to adding a matching T1x.

First impulse is to hunt for one in the matching stock, but being that particular makes the search a bit more extensive and costly.

But I've heard it suggested that the stocks are interchangeable, so just grab any T1x and swap either barreled action into the T3x stock and take it shooting. Which leads to my question: is there any loss of accuracy or bedding from doing this, or do all Tikkas fit the same way repeatably? And if anyone is already doing this, do you still consider it an easy task or is it a PITA?

Also thinking this might be a way to acquire flexibility for the T3x, if I look for a T1x in something very different so either rifle can ride a target stock or a field stock.
 
I have done this.

I removed the t1x from factory stock and took out the little filler. (Super simple)

I run both a T3X and T1X out of T3x CTR Stocks that way if I ever choose to run a heavier barrel it wont have an issue.

They are wonderful to shoot setup the same. I did put the little spacer into the CTR stock without issue.

One stock currently has the wider foreend while the other doesn't and I switch back and forth when needed as I am waiting for a second Arca rail to stick on the other stock so my Harris and M-Pod can go back and forth as needed.

I've put a T1X in a CTR stock no problem (actually that stock for sale). The bottom metal has a little gap at the side but otherwise no issues.

Currently putting the same T1X into a Forest stock which will require a little woodwork to accommodate the magwell.
 
Nice thing about Tikka, if a stock is bedded right you can fit any T3 or T1X into the same stock. Use the 22 as a trainer rifle with your competition or hunting stock. The CTR stocks can be fitted with an aftermarket floorplate which takes T1X but has CTR footprint like this one.
