Looking to have a stainless barrel coated to match an action that will have a few barrels I’ll swap occasionally. How well does cerakote hold up under the clamping force of a barrel vise? More specifically the viper barrel vise.
Thanks

Hey guys, for those of you that run an attached sandbag on top of your tripod like the cole-tac for instance, do you run it with or without a head?

I'm sure it's prob possible run it with a head but it seems like that would be weight for nothing.

Do you really need the ball feature when you have a flexible sandbag?

Can you attach something like this directly to the tripod without a head and is it a good idea?

So I managed to pick up a T1x ACE, 22lr 20" barrel. A few arrived into New Zealand last week and managed to pick one up.
This was a rifle I was very interested in (along with many others) so thought I'd share my findings, there isn't any good reviews out there, just influencer BS and people reading off the spec sheet.

Barreled action:
It's the same as every other Tikka model; trigger, barrel, bolt, bolt handle (don't even get a free rubber ball!), it's basically just a T1x MTR in a chassis.
I have a much older T1x with the original spring ejector, I never had any issues with mine but I know others did, this rifle is the new version with the fixed ejector.
I don't like that the ejector is just plastic molded into the magwell, not sure if it'll ever wear out or break but seems pretty cheap. I put 150 rounds through it and it ejects and extracts with "authority" so I guess it's not a problem, for now atleast.

I haven't adjusted the trigger yet so it's a little heavy but it breaks just fine, no creep or grittyness, etc.

The action feels nice, not as smooth as my old rifle (to be expected) but it feels nice an snappy, same as all other T1x I guess.
Barrel is same as other T1x models, will see how it shoots in time.

Chassis General:
All screws in chassis are T25 Torx, they provided a T handle wrench which is nice (the only other thing provided in box was 2 QD swivels).

Unfortunately I'm not really a chassis guy so don't have any real chassis to compare it to.
However first impressions are that it's pretty well thought out, has all the features I'd want, including many that I've not seen mentioned anywhere before.

The over all weight of the chassis is 1.641kg (3.6lb) so about .207kg (.450lb) heavier than a KRG Bravo (1.434kg / 3.16lb by my scales).
Although it's a bit heavier than the Bravo it's actually better balanced, which was a nice surprise although it doesn't help balance this rifle out in the end.
The T1x Ace comes with the shorter Mlok forend (0.304kg / .67lb), the longer 7 slot forend will be a little heavier. I guess they didn't use the longer forend as it wouldn't work with 16" barrels, but this model really should've included the longer forend and not even offer a 16" barrel in my opinion.




Forend:
The Forend is very securely attached. It has 4 screws on the bottom and the two QD cups (not just the screws) go through the forend and give it almost no slop, even with the 4 screws removed. I know people were worried about this, time will tell if it's good or bad but initial thoughts are it's well thought out.

There is a lot of real estate on the inside of the forend for additional weight, Tikka say weights will be available that fit in the Mlok slots, they are 200g (about .4lb) each, so the 7 slot forend will be able to fit 1.4kg (3lb) of weight which is a lot. However they should just offer a steel forend (since they are swappable) could probably get it to weight around 2.5kg (5.5lb) and still keep the Mlok slots available for more weight.
I doubt this would ever be offered, but could be an aftermarket option.





Butt Stock:
The butt seems reasonably well thought out, cheek piece is only height adjsutable with no obvious way to modify it to have any other adjsutment.

The butt itself is fully adjustable; height, cant, and twist? (no idea why this is an option).
Initial reviews suggested there was no cant adjustment which is not true, there 100% is cant adjsutment.

The LOP is adjustable via spacers, not many are included which is odd, also no other length of screw is provided, so if you remove the two spacers the screws stick out and you loose the tilt adjustment (which I'm sure will no upset anyone). Removing the spacers was kind of annoying, was easiest done by removing the entire butt (which is loosened by a single screw in middle of butt pad).

The bag rider hook thingy is attached via Mlok, a proper bag rider accessory is meant to be available at some stage, but as standard it's fine to shoot with.

Chassis center section:
The pistol grip is plastic and feels kinda horrible, I decent grip would be a nice improvement.
It is adjustable forward and backward, doesn't really seem to have any cant available.

The thumb shelf is simple but seems to work ok.

The replaceable mag well is probably the most interesting thing about the entire rifle.
You need to remove the pistol grip and the action screws to get the mag well off, it's a little snug but pulls off easily.
The barricade stop is actually aluminum and separate to the magwell, it slots into the main aluminum "back bone" so isn't reliant on the plastic magwell for strength.

I do like the ability to change the magwell, for centrefire I much prefer CTR magazines over AICS but the ability to have both options (when/if AICS is an option) is nice.
If Tikka ends up offering a XM (medium 3.2" COAL) AICS option it could make this chassis a really sweet option for running short mag cartridges for comp use, for hunting you'll be able to use the normal Tikka mags obviously.





Overview:
When first released my initial thoughts about this rifle was that it was a bit of an afterthought, it's like they designed the chassis 80% for PRS in the T3x Ace Target, 20% for NRL Hunter with the T3x Ace Game, and then thought well just make a T1x mag well and chuck our standard barreled action in it and call it the T1x Ace Target, as opposed to T1x Ace Game which is really what it is.

I thought there is zero chance this thing will be close to a PRS/NRL balance with that pencil thin barrel.... and well, yeah, I was 100% right.
If you buy the longer forend and load it up with as many weights as possible, put on a light weight scope, bipod, tuner/suppressor it MIGHT balance ok, but this rifle needed a heavier weight barrel.

I put my other T1x barreled action into the chassis and it balances just (as in barely) in front of the barricade stop, that's with a 25.5" medium plama (ish) barrel which weighs almost 2x (1.030kg vs 1.980kg).
Unfortunately due to the way the T1x action made you are limited on how fat of a barrel can be installed. 23.5mm (.92") is the fattest straight taper you could go.

Messing around adding weight to balance to rifle, I concluded a .92" straight taper 24" barrel would be needed to get it balanced ok.
Companies don't seem keen to offer super long factory barrels but I think a 22" or 24" option would still appeal to the "uninformed" buyers out there. If they offered this rifle with the longer forend and a 22"+ straight taper barrel then I think it would actually be a sweet option.
As it stands it definitely leaves a lot on the table.

The balance point with no weights added....




Final rambling thoughts:
Should you buy this rifle? Maybe, if you have a bunch of T1x accessories already then it may make a good addition.
However for the cost you could buy a 20" MTR and and MDT ACC Premier, which I'm guessing is probably the better chassis.
For people in Europe this rifle might make a lot more sense, but even in NZ an MTR + ACC Premier would be similar price to this rilfe.
If the rifle came with a heavier profile barrel for the same price, I'd say it was worth it, but otherwise I'm not so sure.

The interchangeable magwell and forends do offer the potential for this chassis to give some real flexibility, more so in centrefire but even in the T1x a steel forend for PRS and a light weight one for hunting/4 position shooting is a nice option to have.

Although it's not at all balanced (for PRS/NRL) the rifle doesn't feel heavy to carry around, so I'll probably do some small game/varmint shooting with it too.

Gents,
I need one. If you have one of these old boys sitting in your safe / bench and would like to part with it, LMK.
Thanks

Is anyone else loading these in the hybrid cases? Read about them here and they sound like absolute hammers in a lightweight hunting rifle.

I have an excellent condition Chris Reeve Umnumzaan with Tanto Magnacut blade. The blade is factory sharp and this was only carried a few times. There are a couple minor snail trails on the lock side, but you can only see them in the right light.

I am the second owner and the lanyard did not come with it. The lanyard pin is included as well as the box, birthday card, cloth, loctite, grease and tools.

I’m in the concept stage of planning a match and need some starting points on things that need to be addressed.

It will be a fund raiser as well as a primer for hunting season. So it’ll be simple stages tailored for the local population who isn’t into competing.

What are some logistics I need to take care of as far as legal, liability, etc? Is it even worth doing as a fund raiser once all the things are accounted for?

It would be on private land, not a dedicated range. I know things vary by state, but looking for a general idea.

Alright, Clone Fanatics, here it is, the thread you’ve been waiting for! This is the place to profess your interest in buying a MST100 (Not saying Unertl or USO) scope.

I had a lengthy phone call with John Williams III today regarding the possibility of having a run of scopes made. He is interested in completing the project provided there is commitment for the sale of fifty (50) of them. That commitment will probably be in the form of some kind of deposit.

The production will likely be a hundred (100) units, as machine shops don’t normally care to program machines and gear up to do less than that.

He is going to do some work in the next couple weeks to try to arrive at a price. However, with the cost of materials these days, he estimates that they could cost approximately $4000.00. Keep in mind that time is valuable, and his work to narrow the price of the scope down takes him away from what pays the bills. With that said, like the car sale websites say, no tire-kickers, please. I know that with the price up in the air there will hesitance and a somewhat tentative nature to this, but please be serious when you say you want X number of scopes.

I am not getting paid or compensated in any manner for any of this. I have simply created a thread for you guys to speak up. I’ll tell him what you all say. The way this thread turns out will determine whether the scopes get built or not.

So, have at it.

At a per unit cost of approximately $4000 each, who would buy a newly manufactured MST100 scope?

These are mags I convert myself from 10rd AW they hold 12 round and have been function tested out of an Impact in a XLR envy. Last year I did run my personal 12rd mag with my impact and an ACC. Zero issues. If you have a 10 round that runs great these will run just as good but give you the ability to hold 12 rounds in a very short mag. If you have any questions feel free to let me know. I have a few ready to ship if they sell I can give you a lead time when I will have more available. I have sold several of these this year and haven’t had anyone have issues that I know of.

These prices are shipped to your door.

308 12rd AW $250
BR 12rd AW $310

Best form of payment is venmo. Could possibly do other options but would need to agree upon before deal is made.
