![]() The T1x showed up with a Burris Droptine 2-7x35mm scope mounted on it, a scope that would have better served the T1x. Magazine capacity: 10 plus 1 Burris Timberline 4.5-14x32mm Scope Length of pull: 13.25 inches, but can be altered with spacers Its 1.5-inch bolt throw is short, as one would expect in a rimfire, and if you are looking for a larger bolt knob, it can be replaced with an aftermarket knob.Ĭalibre. The bolt is stainless steel and, like its centrefire brethren, is smooth with a reliable and flawless feed from the 10-round magazine. With this quality of bedding, the light recoil induced by a rimfire will be of no consequence. Their efforts at duplicity weren’t finished, however, as the T1x action shares the same bedding surfaces and inlay footprint as the T3x rifle. Recognizing the value of a great trigger in the accuracy game, Tikka utilized the same trigger mechanism in the T1x as it does in their centrefire rifles. The heavier barrel essentially mimics the qualities of a target barrel, providing more stiffness that contributes to improved accuracy, as well as better balance when shooting offhand, kneeling or sitting. The semi-heavy 20-inch barrel is cold hammer forged and is threaded for a suppressor or other muzzle device. ![]() The scales provide a light pressure, confident grip in wet conditions – a noted improvement over numerous competitors’ rimfires. ![]() It also contains a foam insert in the butt portion of the stock, to reduce noise, and sports unique, contoured grooves with serrated scales checkering, rather than diamond type checkering. The fiberglass adds rigidity for temperature insensitivity and improved accuracy. The stock itself is injection-molded synthetic with 35 per cent fiberglass. However, for my wingspan, I found it a bit short. Spacers can also be added for increasing the length of pull, although for most shooters the 13.25-inch LOP will fit average-sized adults and most larger youths. The grips offered for both rifles are a traditional grip that is standard on the T1x or it can be exchanged for a vertical pistol grip, and if perchance you would prefer a wider fore-end, a beavertail fore-end can be added. These include interchangeable accessory components, such as the pistol grip and fore-end. In some respects, it resembles the Tikka T3x – no coincidence either, as I’m confident it was part of Tikka’s thinking to capture the appearance and interchangeability of shared features with the T3x. While the T1x MTR was essentially designed as a hunting rifle, its MTR (Multi Task Rimfire) moniker suggests uses well beyond that singular function.
