Tikka T1X

Finally got my Sterk bolt handle and shroud, so felt compelled to post my Tikka build.

Thats a nice looking rifle!
It's easy to forget wooden stocks exist hanging around on the hide, plastic, alluminium and composites are all that exists.
 
I called Beretta to try and buy a spare last month and they said they didn't have any but told me Midwest Gun Works carries them. Of course, they are OOS. I signed up to be notified.
I signed up to be notified too. Maybe call Beretta again? They were in stock when I called this week.
 
For those looking for a different chassis/stock option under a thousand bucks, the GCP/Vision forend for the T3 version of the KRG Bravo bolts right up, and looks great. Stiffens things up quite a bit over stock too.

Only 750 dollars for both pieces.

CaptNemo , you have the keg trigger on your t1x ? How do you like it , how low will 1st and 2nd stage adjust ?
Sorry for the delay, - Very happy with the trigger, I robbed this one off of one of my centerfire rifles. I have 2 of the KRG's as well as a light spring OEM trigger.
I use the T1X in NRL22 and have been happy with the performance and have used it in hunting rifles as well.
I haven't put a pull gauge on either trigger but i would guess about 6 oz. on the first stage and another pound and a half on the second stage.
 
Is there some modification that can be made to eliminate the "standing a round straight up in the magazine" malfunction that occurs when running the bolt fast?

Club stage that was as many hits at 100 in 20 seconds today. Standing one up cost me serious time.

When I push down on the bolt handle at the same time as I push it forward I don’t get the rnd pointed up misfeed. When I plant my shooting elbow if I don’t concentrate on pushing down I get a mis feed. It happened with the factory barrel too. I haven’t tried shimming the mag well because working the bolt properly and deliberately works well.

Yep, mostly prone when it happens. Figured it would be more of a bolt/receiver mod than the magazine.
 
Why not? That zinc plated nut from Lowes would look sharp on the end of your barrel.
Not even fastenal carries the 1/2-28UNEF.

Besides cadmium plated looks cooler.

The - 28 is the Extra Fine. Best you're gonna find is 1/2-20UNF.

Theres more 1/2 inch threads than people think. The only ones that stores are likely going to have are the -13UNC and -20UNF.

Sad thing is that I had a Savage mk2btvlss come with a 1/2-20 thread.

Sent it to LRI to be fixed with 1/2-28.

spent casing not ejecting properly and causing jam ups in feed/magwell

seems to be a common complaint

So, feeding and ejecting seems to be an issue. Plus side is that my CZ is enjoying the extra attention

OK , there is the thread posted above me about modifying the ejector spring/wire/thingy or you could wait it out. Mine had ejection problems at first as well and it went away somewhere between 500 and 1000 rounds. It would occasionally still have weak ejection on the last round of the magazine after that but eventually around 5000 rounds even that went away. Runs perfectly now.

Are on sale right now for $15 as well.


ETA:
$4 off on the beaver tail fore end too

They had a big sale a month or so ago, I got the grip and 5 magazines for just under a hundred dollars with free shipping.

Pretty cool to be able to set up a 22 that’s almost an exact copy of my main hunting rifles.
