Getting the bolt back together is a bitch. Anyone have any tricks for getting everything depressed all the way and the pin through the shroud?
Yes, it is. I used the side of a counter as a third hand.

Eley club , eley sub and cci sub
i think thats a barrel problem then , could be the twist rate , have you checked , also are the barrels choked ?I am surprised Eley Club would give those results.
I can also confirm that CCI subs gave me a 4” group at 50 yards. CCI Standard Velocity was repeatably giving me 0.5” groups at the same distance. I think it would be worth trying different ammo if the same results persist then you may need to contact beretta for an RMA.
Anyone know a good online retailer that has them in stock? 22LR.
Just wanted to test the barrel with different speed ammo to see if the barrel is fussy ,, in the past eley subs have poduced groups nearly as good as tennex and lapua match , personally I think there's a fault , only explanation for "2 groups@Dave338458 I have not heard of anyone saying their gun will shoot anything HV. Its simple stay around the 1050-1120 FPS range. Stay out of the 1200FPS range. The barrel is a 16.5 twist. There has been a ton of ammo testing. If you want to shoot cheap, use CCI standard. Or just about anything Match grade standard. Most subs don't run well, and nothing I have read or tested that was high velocity has shot well.
This is the 20 , had the choice , but thought the 20 might be slightly better at over 100y@Dave338458, not that it matters but just out of curiosity, is this a 20" or a 16"? Range reports of 16" are very rare. Im hoping that a 16" will arrive in US, but at this time Im thinking Tikka will have a 17HM2 before they decide to release a 16" here.
The woman I spoke to at FJ when I ordered my barrel was extremely nice, but she had never heard of a Tikka when I asked if they had plans to make barrels for the Tikka T1X.Very Nice! I love the FJ Feddersen Barrel that I have on my 10/22. If anyone from FJ is following the thread, please offer this configuration for the T1x for those of us that don't have lathes...
Sorry, its killing me too. I was sure I would get some range time this weekend... then I realized it was Mother’s Day. So much for that. Having a 10 week old sure cuts down on my range time. May have to do a night shoot just to get some initial results.@johnkmcguire97 listen, don't be an ass............ if you're going to do something that cool, get pics of targets asap. I can't wait. As said before, Feddersen barrels are lights out, and I am excited to see the results. Go shoot the damn thing already.
Ok, dumb AI question: Is your AI set up for a Tikka or are all AI's compatible?T1X in AI chassis. Didn't have to modify the chassis anymore than what I had to do for the T3 to fit. Magazine works without a problem in the AI mag well.
(Sorry for the bad lighting, got it to late for an outdoor photoshoot.)

So picked up more brands of ammo tonight , still got same results , crazy fliers etc , in an act of desperation I've removed the stock and shot the barrel action resting on a couple of bags , !!! And presto we have a five shot group around an 1" , a few more shots and it's deffo producing groups , conclusion is then the stock is total crap and there's a fitting prob somewhere, now next question , best after market stock , !!?? Still like the look of the GRS BERSERK, and it is reasonably priced, need to make sure it does not use a barrel block like the factory one , and the mag fits properly

@kedbeck what is that 22 holder on the side. I have been looking for something like that.

In a couple of weeks mate. Got both T3 and T1x parts dropping out of the cnc right now. Still a few to machine and then all the bending, polishing and cerakote coating too.@cannoncrossfire When are we gonna see those sweet ass bolt my friend.??????? You know the swept for the t1x
i have looked at the krg the bravo is around £450 here , the grs £320, both look quite similar, the grip on the krg looks like the trg which i always found small, curse of large hands lol , how you finding the mag well is it easy to get the mag in , and was it a simple drop in stock or did you have to do any work to get it to fit ?I’m glad you found the issue. As I said in an earlier post my friends was doing the exact same thing and he had it bound in the chassis.
I dropped mine in a KRG Bravo and I absolutely love the chassis. In fact I like it so much I think I may get one for my centerfire rifle. It is a much different look and I would imagine feel than the GRS though. Ultimately you will need to go with whatever is comfortable for you. In general chassis are more comfortable for me and I like the modularity. Some people are exactly opposite and prefer a traditional stock. The KRG is kind of I hybrid in my mind. It has the look of a traditional stock more or less but the modularity of a chassis. Kind of the best of both worlds. It is also easy on the bank account which doesn’t hurt either.
Very Nice! I love the FJ Feddersen Barrel that I have on my 10/22. If anyone from FJ is following the thread, please offer this configuration for the T1x for those of us that don't have lathes...
Dave, we are opposite here. The GRS is roughly $650 and the KRG is $370. The stock I got was a perfect drop in. All I had to do was tighten the two action screws. I think the grip on it may be larger than it appears. I honestly don’t really notice because I don’t wrap my thumb around it like a pistol grip very often. I find I can cycle my bolt a lot faster if I just let it ride directly above my fingers and under the bolt handle. I do remember thinking that the grip felt substantial though.
I think the price difference is because of the import duty from the US , think it was around %40 by time you added all costs , hope the grs stock is easy to fit too , will post some pictures when I get it.Dave, we are opposite here.

GRS Berserk has a perfect fit, tried it in the shop, you just need to get rid of that bottom plate vertical pin.I think the price difference is because of the import duty from the US , think it was around %40 by time you added all costs , hope the grs stock is easy to fit too , will post some pictures when I get it.
With the block removed I coukd not get the mag to click into placeCurious question here. Are folks finding the best groups while using the factory stock with or without the additional block that is installed?
I will likely get a KRG Bravo when I can find one but I’d like to start testing lots.
hello folks,
I’m wondering if anyone changed the bolt handle on T1X... is there some blue loctite on the bolt, does it need heating up first? I don’t wanna strip the bolt head :s
Also, does anyone know where to get a metal bolt shroud in Europe ?
I purchased the MDT LSS-RF GEN2 and it should be arriving any day now. Anyone put their T1 in this yet? Pictures?

Will do. I was looking and waiting for Oryx as well but with the delays I was getting nervous about how long to wait. Then the MDT rimfire chassis came out so went with it.Let us know how it goes. I've been waiting for an Oryx, by they keep getting pushed back ...
It's an ordinary Aics for Rem 700, modified to fit the T3 action.
Do you have any photos or a write up of what all went into modifying the 700 AI chassis for use with a tikka footprint?
If anyone is interested I installed the T1X in the GRS Bifrost today.
Perfect fit.
Only thing that needed to be addressed was the bottom plate pin and a LITTLE removed material next to the bolt release.
The barrel isn’t centered in the barrel groove, its alligned a bit to one side, they said that that sometimes happens ... not sure what’s up with that tbh, everything seems centered otherwise (not like there is space for the receiver to move left or right in the stock anyway, everything is super tight)
Just bought a T1 yesterday , total waste of money , best group is "2 at 50 yards , used 3different brands of ammo ,. From bipod , bag , silencer on /off, etc , checked every bolt and screw , swapped scopes , still same results , get a couple of shots touching then fliers "2 away ! It's behaving like something is loose , but I've double checked every thing , very disappointed
Can you give some dims on this?

I took these measurements with digital calipers. I would say these are good to +/-0.002. I took better measurements with a micrometer when I turned down the barrel, but I did not write them down.
