Been spending a reasonable amount of time with the rifle since owning it, some “dry fire” practise, messing around adjusting the chassis and actual shooting.
The first 500 rounds I put through it was the brick of CCI SV, unfortunately the weather hasn’t been great last few weeks, always have wind of 6-12mph ish. Have had a variety of issues with forgetting gear (bipod, rear bag etc) so haven’t been able to print any fantastic groups.
So for I really like the rifle, I think I’ve already said I don’t have any experience with a proper chassis (MDT ACC, KRG W3, MPA, etc) so it’l taken some getting used to. For the most part the chassis is really nice, not to difficult to get adjusted, comfortable to shoot, etc.
I spent a few hours practising fundamentals one day, shot 270 rounds and found the chassis to be great TBH.
I haven’t tried hanging any weights off it, so can’t comment on the interference with the ARCA rail, so I really don’t have many complaints.
I’ve done a little bit of varmint/small game shooting with it and the chassis again is great for that. It doesn’t feel as heavy as it actually is, and handles great for offhand shooting. Done some dry fire practise with a sling and again it feels great.
I still think the rifle is somewhat fundamentally flawed, if it were called the T1x Ace Game I’d say the rifle is excellent, but as a Target model aimed at PRS/NRL it is just lacking. If it had the long forend and a longer/heavier barrel then I’d say this rifle is great.
I’ve mainly spoken about the chassis so far, in reality that’s the only thing that needs reviewing as the barrelled action is the same as people have used for years now.
The rest of the rifle has been great, I added a Tikka rubber bolt knob and the action cycles very quickly, and easily, basically just cycle it with my index finger.
I’ve had no failures whatsoever ever, ejection is very good, no feeding issue, no extraction issues.
Trigger is adjusted down with the standard spring, it’s still a tad heavier than I’d like so an aftermarket spring is needed, every now and then I feel like there is a tiny amount of creep, but I think a different spring would make it either go away or not be noticeable at all.
