Well I finally got my licence paid for and all that jazz. Hopefully get down to Adelaide next week and shoulder a few. On my list are the T1X, CZ 455 American and the LA101.

Had the pleasure of shooting a 452 American which was paired with a VX Freedom 4-12x40 which was nice to look through so I'll probably pair whatever I buy with one of them i guess.
Easy come, easy go.

So, yesterday one of our local shooters turned up at the range with a brand new Tikka T1X in .22 L.R. Shot 25 and 50 m benchrest on standard targets.
He shot a few one hole groups at 25m and some real nice ragged hole groups at 50m. That's straight out of the box, brand new.
I think he was using RWS rifle match ammo. ( Keeping in mind this bloke is a top shot. )
I handled it but didn't shoot it. Nice rifle, this one had a heavier profile barrel than a standard .22 sporter but not as heavy as my P94S Sako varmint. Fit and finish look good, chunky looking 10 shot mag with nice release and easy to insert. Not fiddly like some mags can be.
I think he paid @ $900 ? Certainly a quality rifle at first impression. :thumbsup:

Was it the 16" or 20" version?

Probably the 20 then - the 20 feels more like a "normal" rifle. The 16 is really tiny and feels oddly small (when your used to heavier rifles), which btw will make it an awesome little farm/carry gun...

Handled, fondled, poked and prodded today. I'm very happy with it for what it's worth today. Picked up a leupold vx freedom 3-9×40 for it to start off with for a song/ package.

Still have to wait 28 days but looking forward to it ask the same.

Did you get the freedom " rimfire" version leupold? It has the parallax set at 60 yrds more accurate shooting with rimfire calibers.

Just the basic version unfortunately, looking through it in the backyard out to 50/60m is seems okay at this stage but I won't know until I get it on the rifle and start trying to hit some targets.
If it doesn't tickle my fancy I'll grab something with parallax adjustment for this rifle. It only set me back $300 so I figure it's not a bad investment :unknown:

Well I finally got a day off to get down and pick up the Rifle. After running a few errands I finally got around to mounting the scope with the rings I picked based on my natural cheek position when I first shouldered the rifle about a month ago. Now that I've spent an hour on and off picking it up and feeling how it comes up to the eye I think I'm still a few mm too high, I find myself just creeping up a bit to get a clear picture so I'm gonna hunt around for some lower rings.

All up happy with it out of the box and I ran a few rounds through it just to see how it cycled and ran through the mag fine several times, hopefully I'll get out over the weekend and sight it in/get a few rounds through it.
Average pic of the rifle but I was in a bit of a hurry to put it away and get to the shops.

Also picked up all the .22LR ammo and a box of 22Long bullets which the bloke reckons are nice and quiet for close range rabbits.... :unknown:
I'm looking at getting some RWS and some of the SK varieties as I've heard the T1X's like them. We'll wait and see!

Those rings do look quite high mate. I tend to try and get away with the lowest rings possible to mount the optic. To me it makes sense to get the line of sight as close to the barrel as possible.

Yeah I'm going to do some measuring tonight and see how much lower I can go. They're 24mm and the rings go to 19mm and then 13mm so if I can lose 9mm, which I reckon I can I'll go with some lows and see how it goes...

Hey Clayton...how are you mate... :)

My opinion on ring height differs on what the rifle is used for.

Ive a normal to long neck, so i dont have any "low" rings.
When it comes to a rifle to shoot targets &/or fur from a rest with (ie foxes/bunnies/cats from the car/stump/prone etc where you can get a little time to execute the shot), i like a little cheek contact, more so for unifority & a steady sight picture through the scope...but i dont like a "solid cheek weld" these days, as i found a little more consistancy with less cheek pressure--especially good for long head shots on bunnies.. :thumbsup: .i call this as bringing your eye to the rifle type shooting... :)

For a walk about rifle where may need rapid target aquisition...say on a mob of goats going bunta in every direction...i go for higher rings as i find that type of shooting is more like shotgun where you bring the rifle to your eye & shoot both eyes open...on a flurry of goats going every direction you dont have time to get your head down for a "solid cheek weld" with each & every shot & (my experience anyway) is with rings that require this solid cheek weld that ill tend to shoot high on close quarters running goats because not looking through the scope correctly.

Not sure if that makes sense or not... :unknown: its easier to demonstrate face to face on a rifle... :thumbsup:
Im also not suggesting my way is the right way...but it works for me...there was once a time i liked rings as low as possible, but i guess we evolve our styles of shooting for ourselves.

For your 22, id go lower rings for sure...you haven't got " you know who" standing over you coaching for a 1000 yd shot (yet... :lol: ), so a little cheek contact will be good for you...but my advice is to not choke the rifle with your cheek either...mediums might be the go mate... :thumbsup:

By the way, i dropped off my 222 a couple of weeks ago...when i know ill have more time to spare up there ill let you know & can catch up if you like... :unknown: :) :thumbsup:

You don't need to push your face onto the comb with force but you do need a consistant cheek weld. If the scope is higher than what comes up to your eye naturally, you will be dragging your cheek up to find the exit pupil. You will find it hard to do this consistently. You can either lower the scope or raise the comb.

Thanks for the tips guys, and Stix; I'm good buddy, hopefully I might have time for a bit of coaching from the man on Friday but a recent death in the family stirs up the weekend a bit so we'll play it by ear.

I've got 15mm from the start of the bell/start of the taper on the barrel so I could get lows, but I'll go for medium rings as it's not far off my natural position for bringing it up to the shoulder but I reckon I need a spacer in the butt pad as I feel I'm over-gripping the grip, it feels like half my hand is around the grip and I'm flexing my finger backwards to the trigger...if that makes sense. My natural position has me looking about where the red dot is below so I'm not too far off.

I'm looking at putting it in a T3X Hunter stock sooner rather than later so I may hold on modifying this stock too much so I may just grab the medium rings and see how it goes for a short-while.

Thanks for the input once again!

Hey Clayton...
Sorry to hear about your family member...hope its not a big downer for the weekend. :unknown: :)

SCJ said above in just a few words what i couldnt manage to in lotsa words... :lol: ...ah well... :unknown:

Yes i get what you mean re the stock & grip... :thumbsup:
When i cheekily shouldered your rifle i did notice the smallish stature of it...
(I had to convince them i knew it was hidden away & pretended to know you... :lol: ...i just wanted to shoulder one for interest sake... :D ).

Ive done this before...--make up your own spacer with poly styrene or some such material in similar density or harder.
Get some good quality (the best you can buy) painters masking tape & tape it on to the stock.--good quality painters tape will hold well at the same time as peel off many weeks later & not leave annoying glue residue... :thumbsup:

If possible, remove the butt plate & put the foam in between the stock & plate--only being a 22 recoil wont damage the screws while that set up will help keep the foam/temp spacer in place.

Maybe a redneck way, & not the best option, but will get you going...you could also set it up to the LOP of the T3 stock...much better than shooting a rifle thats way too small in my opinion....having to rack your wrist back around to get the pad of your finger on the trigger wont help those groups one bit...not to mention bring on fatigue early--no good when there's a gun in front of you to shoot... :D


Also, that Winchester box...how much was it & did that come from the same place as the rifle...?

Re: Tikka t1x rimfire

Post by ClaytonT88 » 22 Apr 2019, 7:12 pm

So I got the chance today to go down the range with a bloke who knows his way around rifles in a big way. He's a mate from work and really loves the sport of rifle shooting, has a few state titles in F-Class and is a fairly handy gunsmith himself. He gave me a nudge on Friday to give him a buzz Monday if I was around and had time to give the rifle a clean, sight it in and put some lead down range. He had a look with his bore scope and said the barrel on this T1X is pretty bloody close to a custom match barrel in quality and very impressive for a sub-$1000 rimfire rifle. He expected it to shoot well.
We probably shot close to 250 rounds in 10 shot groups and even thought the wind was a fairly gusty right to left around 10-12km/h we still have some pretty pleasing results with the little Tikka T1X in 100% standard configuration.
Complete with Shoehorn, un-adjusted trigger and standard bedding etc. we just nipped up the action screws by hand, fitted the scope at the right orientation (I had it 90 degrees out), bore sighted in the backyard and away we went.

We shot mostly off a rear bag and a front Caldwell height adjustable rest which was sitting behind the front sling stud. A few groups were off the bipod but they weren't as nice, we think the stock flexes quite a bit and was causing a bit of an effect. We also shot from the prone position at around 55 paces for all groups.

The range of ammo we had is in a post above.

Started with the 400pack of Winchester Super X. Hit the paper, did a tweak on the scope and went from there. We weren't trying to get a zero/point of aim just test a few types of ammo and see what it likes, this isn't too bad. The first group was the best out of the 4 to shot rounds with this ammo. I've got a box of....360 left so plenty of plinking to be had with this.

Next was the CCI Standard, shot 5 groups of this one and they're all about the same, very good considering the conditions from a 22 with less than 100 shots down the barrel. The coach was very impressed at this stage. I pulled the bottom two shots of the best group which was disappointing

Up next were the CCI Segmented HP Subsonics - I was hoping this would group as well or close to the CCI Standard as this is what I was hoping to use if I went rabbit shooting. These had a funny knack of dropping the first one a little short and then the rest of the group being fairly consistent. No other ammo seemed to do this.

After these 2 groups we chucked on the bipod to see if it was any better or worse.

SK Standard Plus was the standout of the day. 12mm 10-shot group even with the conditions. Do SK do a hunting ammo?! Pretty happy with this group in the conditions we had, the coach was chuckling to himself as the last 5 shots all went in the same hole.

WINPPOINTSBIPOD.jpg (26.14 KiB) Viewed 13591 times


All in all, an absolute ripper day apart from the wind, the back of my knees are sunburnt to buggery so I've learnt that lesson for next time. Hoping for a calmer day in the near future and we're looking at setting up a little rimfire range a bit closer to home so we can have a bit more of a play. The stock didn't feel too horrible in the prone position but with the bipod opening up the groups there is some definite fore end flex there. I've taken the shoe horn out of the stock when I cleaned it before putting it away and I'll get some lower mounts for the scop as well which should improve my cheek weld as I daresay the groups would have been tighter with less wiggling of my head on my part.

Cheers! :drinks:

Anything from SK or Eley in standard velocity shoot very well.
I have been testing the new Eley EDGE, Eley Standard Bulk Pak, and a few of the new SK's through my Weihrauch HW66 and CZ452 - 2E ZKM - all shoot very well indeed - 10 shot groups at 50 m all under 30mm!

The Tikka T1x is certainly a lovely rifle - but with its retail price around the $900 mark it competes head -on with the tried and trusted CZ models .

Personally i would invest a a bit more $$ and go for an Anschutz or Weihrauch in the 22LR .......but thats just me.

I agree that it competes with the CZ price wise but I like the features it has. Footprint of its centrefire cousin. 10 shot mag that isn't too protrusive. Short bolt lift. Semi target barrel.

For $850 I think the features were pretty good. I'm very happy with it after today. I look forward to shooting it for many years to come.

Since the last time out I've removed the barrel bedding block and lightened the trigger a smidge. Being a calmer day we got the POI on the money and shot some groups.

20190505_161439.jpg
20190505_161439.jpg (863.27 KiB) Viewed 13501 times

Another group with SK Standard + @50m. The white circle in the centre of the black ring measures 18mm.

Velocitors shot quite a bit better with the barrel block removed maybe a 1.5" group @50m. Would be good if they shot a bit better. Next up is buy a box of the same lot sk standard + and see how some power points go.

Always good fun finding the best round for a .22. I have tried 10 different rounds in my new CZ457 and so far CCI Stingers have been the best with 5 shot groups under 10mm @50m with perfect conditions. All other rounds I tried were fine for hunting but the Stingers really amazed me. CCI subsonic are also a good in all my .22rifles.

It's certainly good fun shooting thousands of rounds looking for the best in your rifle, but expensive and time consuming. Just buying one 50rd box of each type of .22LR we can find in Australia will cost over you over $1000, without including any freight. I bought at least 200rds of everything, and some I bought bricks and bulk packs.

That is stunning performance from the Stingers. Is that a consistent group size or just a one-off? Stingers haven't been great for me, generally holding around 10rd 2.5MoA out to 100m on a good day. I might occasionally see a 1.5MoA group, but it's too rare to be considered normal.

CCI Subsonic is pretty decent, but have you tried CCI Standard Velocity yet? It's been consistently the most accurate for me of everything I've tried.

I would also recommend doing another test after you have a thousand or more rounds down the tube, you might find some improvements.

Impressive results from the stingers, I've been swamped with homework these last couple of weeks but looking at getting out in the next fortnight with some more ammo, some lower scope rings and see what I can manage. I might get a few more hollow point ammos to try including power points and see how they go. My bulk buy box of Winchest Super-X doesn't feed very nicely but they do look like a poorly cast bullet.

Last trip out l had perfect conditions and shot 4 groups under 10mm with the best at only 7.93mm. I am yet to try any other CCI rounds but gave just bought 100 pack of the new Hornady round.

Thanks for popping up some pics with your accuracy claims Clayton, I’ve read with interest as this rifle and yourself have progressed. It’s Been interesting to see the groups tighten up with more experience/ work / preferred ammo - feels good yeah, to see it all coming together and now that confidence lives on...?! Nice!
