Found that. Reason I ask is seems like guys are running them no problem. I just measured my threads and looks like they are around .48-.49” long. Which creates another problem for possibly using a .2” spacer and then being the other way.
You can get really good accuracy with the factory stock, but, it takes lots of messing around with that barrel wedge (in or out) and action screw torque values. For what it is worth I also put in a titanium recoil lug and that seemed to perk it up a bit, it fits tighter in the action slot.

Not sure about the spacer, but I have a very similar setup, except an ACC and a Cyke pod. Very happy with it. I just put an IBI barrel on. It tightened up my SK S+ groups quite a bit. Will try better ammo when it’s warmer.
Owning a T1X, I sure wouldn't get the barrel cut for such a small amount. My Tikka measures same as yours, .490. With .503 to first baffle of the TD. They are close, but no sign at all the barrel touches the baffle.
Thanks for the info. Accuracy good? Part of me thinks that I should just cut it down to 16”, properly thread it and do it the right way. Gives me an excuse to drive back out to LRI and shoot prairie dogs. That said I also have a Griffin optimus micro that works well on the rifle, I just don’t like playing musical cans and that one lives on my 223 varmint gun.
20” 1/12 full profile, Calfie4 chamber, no threads. If we could have cans up here I would have threaded it. If I end up stateside again I would get it threaded.
Make sure to shoot it before doing barrel modifications. So we can see if it made a difference.
Wish I knew. Trying to get my hands on a T1x in 17hmr. "bought" one the other day because I got an in-stock notification from 3 different notify lists with in a few minutes of each other. Turns out it was just a glitch and not actually in stock. Was super excited too because I had just signed up for notifications the day before
havent heard of a 'shorter base' new magazine for tikka, went on the t1x mtr page and their photo does seem like the mag sits more flush, but the beretta accessories page only shows 1 t1x 22 mag for sale as well.
following up on my previous comment..
You may have better luck reaching out to the eurooptic rep on snipershide. I have a feeling whoever told you that you were getting a shorter mag made a mistake.
Another way to add adjustable length of pull to the T1x Bravo is to swap the buttstock for the X-Ray buttstock with adjustable LOP kit. The X-Ray buttstock, grips and X-Ray tool-less LOP kit only cost $20 more than the Bravo tool-less LOP kit.
You could also try an MDT Oryx (LOP adjustment is not tool-less out of the box but Ive seen others add aftermarket parts that do so) if you're shooting as a bench rifle it is a great option.
Yep, eley standard works a treat. That's prone off a bipod outdoors.
Update: Got the KRG Bravo in and installed. Now I just need to decide on an optic. Trying my hardest not to get an S&B for a different rifle and putting the Leupold Mark 4 8.5-25x50 on the Tikka.
I run the vortex viper pst gen 2 on mine, for the money it made sense (I already had it, lol), it seems to be pretty much a perfect scope for 22
Pretty similar to what I got at 50 yards with tenex. Eley Club is a decent lower price alternative too, at that range, shot similarly for me.
CCI SV works well in Mine for Mid Priced ammo.
I have access to a mill, so I figure I can modify my ACC and the aluminum mini-chassis in the GGS stocks that I want to use. I will start buying the CCI SV and keep my eyes peeled for some SK if I decide to shoot any of the local 22 matches.
My T1x seems to shoot CCI SV quite well for low end ammo. It does better (usually, but not always) with better ammo. Have had great results with almost everything that I've tried. Center-X, Tenex, Wolf MT, SK Std+ all produce respectable groups. I'm finding that the biggest variable to getting great shot groups is the shooter, not the rifle or the ammo. Since I always shoot suppressed in my back yard, I haven't tried any HV stuff in it, but will try some mini-mags and Fed AM the next time I go to an outdoor range. This last month has been too cold to do much shooting. I'm old enough that I ain't shooting if I ain't comfortable.
I'm with you on the Mini Mags. I have about 4 bricks and am thinking of just selling them to finance more of the better stuff. I've had them for a while, so they are "old" production and probably better than the newer lots. I just keep looking for 'deals' on better grades of standard velocity.
I remember buying 40 grain Blazers for $18/brick and CCI-SV for $24/brick. The SKRM was $65/brick, so I was expecting it to be significantly better than CCI-SV, it wasn't for me.
I didn’t test mine without the ACC. The biggest for me was putting an IBI 1:12 twist barrel on. I doubt the twist made a difference at 100, but the barrel itself cut my SK Standard+ 10 shot group size by 40%. Now it averages around 1.375”, often putting 8/10 at 1” or under. Center X and Eley Match are more consistently under 1”, but positional shooting usually doesn’t call for that and the cost gets significantly higher.
They do 1:12 for anyone who asks. It only really makes a difference past 200. I understand the pain the law can make from basic things. The IBI barrel cut my groups quite a bit, but for you buying an Anschutz might be easier re the legalities.
Anything that makes the factory mag base significantly bigger won’t work with the ACC because the ACC magwell is designed for a T3X and a bigger 22 magazine won’t fit.
Thanks I see, well that sucks... I assume this would be the same on both the early ACCs which are inletted for just the T3X and the later ones which are inletted for both T1/T3?
I’m not sure about the generations of the ACC. It sure sold me on the adjustability of a full chassis though.
My T1X factory barrel shot CCISV as well as SKRM, averaging around 1 3/4” for 10 at 100. My IBI barrel shoots SKS+ at 1 3/8” for 10 at 100, with many groups approaching 1”. The 1 or 2 out of 10 that make the group bigger is the price of less consistency in cheaper ammo.
