Bravo showed up today. Pictures don't do these justice whatsoever. Rifle and rail are both still scheduled for Friday delivery.

Oryx came in a few minutes ago. Just need to get an optic!
Looks sweet.
How is the mag release ?
Who's switched their bolt handle out? Can we just use T3/T3X bolts?
Sterk T1x handles are $95AU = $67US and even including shipping it works out about $83US.The only aftermarket bolt handles I've found are close to or over $100. A little overpriced for my liking. I think turning it down might be the best idea.

Depends on budget I guess and how happy you are with the factory handle.
The factory handle uses an M5 screw through it to mount it to the bolt - not sure turning/machining would go well due to the hollow inside of the handle.
I might be wrong but don’t the Sako Quad bolt knobs from DIP work?

Great looking little rig. Hope you get an optic soon. I’m sure it’s driving you crazy already to get out and shoot.
Thanks for the info on the bolt handle guys. I contacted them about shipping to Canada (hoping I can twist their arm).
What’s the benefit to his shroud? Anything other than looks?Definitely check out the Sterk bolt handle for the T1x. They’ll be shipping soon. His “Swept” handle is literally off the charts. He redesigned the traditional bolt knob into something extraordinary. Get his shroud as well while you’re at it, and if you still have the factory barrel on your rifle then grab his titanium thread protector too. ?

Maybe I need to go look at mine when I get home, but how easy is this to install?

Just got home from shooting the T1x/ Bravo combination. I have to say, the Bravo is very comfortable compared to the factory stock. I'm a traditional stock kind of guy and this thing doesn't feel anything like a chassis to me. My rifle had been shooting some screamer groups already in the factory stock. The Bravo just seems to make it easier to be consistent. I'm very impressed with this little rifle, especially with $5/ box ammo.

Well nobody except @cannoncrossfire can answer that at this time as it hasn’t been released yet, but my best guess is it will be a tight clean fit that eliminates the slop that is in the factory plastic shroud. Same as the T3x ones he makes. It is a precisely machined item and fits as such. Worth the $ for sure. But the Swept bolt handle.. oh man those are off the charts ??
There’s a reason John doesn’t produce all his stuff so quickly after the rifles are released, like the other companies. When the other companies are copying your designs you know you’re on to something good.

Remove the stock bolt handle. It took a little muscle to break it loose. Screw the new one on with some locktite. Huge improvement working the bolt.
Thanks. I was not aware that it simply “spun off.” The way that the shapes mate up to each other made me a bit hesitant.
It’s honestly not all that clean looking, but it seems a big improvement over the factory. For the money, I may just try it.
What distance?
That lower left group in the 2nd pic really nice.
I'm still new to bolt guns ... What is the benefit to swapping handles (especially when going to the swept design) ... Or is it just a cosmetic thing
No, check out pages 8-9Can anyone tell me if it will work in a MPA chassis inletted for a Tika centerfire?
Quick pic with new barrel and pre-Sterk parts. We’ll see how it looks after ?
Don’t bother asking how it shoots.. I don’t know. Haven’t shot I yet. Lol View attachment 7091373
Do you mind sharing how much it was for the IBI barrel?
Just arrived home to my Oryx waiting for me. Barreled action minus bolt weighs 3.6lbs, Oryx chassis with barreled action and bolt weigh 8.5lbs and my whole setup minus bipod comes in at 10.5lbs.Is the Oryx really 4.2 pounds for the Tikka T1x? How much does it weigh with the barreled action installed?
was gonna go to the range but got a call that my son had rolled his car this morning on his way home from work. He walked away virtually unscathed. Thank God.
