It sounds like you turned the bolt and took the tension off the spring. The attached photo is how the back of the bolt should align w the body of the bolt.Please help me out with this one. New T1x. Haven’t fired it yet.
I pulled the bolt out, held it in two hands and twisted it to see what would happen basically. It clicked into a new position and now I cannot insert the bolt back in the rifle.
Any ideas?
Usually you can just rotate it by hand. It is a little hard but doable. Dont make the same mistake on a t3, lol. The tension is much much more.Thanks for the replies since my post. Have recocked the bolt and got it back in the rifle. Will have to make sure I don’t do that again if I’m being attacked by irate squirrels.

The T3 in the xray is a 5-25 pst2 in swfa mediums and the T1x is a 4-16 dbtac in vortex lows@Boltyboi what height rings are those?
Been looking at getting one of these for a while but have a couple of questions.
Wondering if the barrel removal issue has been corrected not interested in having to beat barrel out and wonder about damage to the action.
Is the stock as bad as most seem to report it being.
Thanks for your thoughts and input.

Tikka makes a replacement grip in several colors that has a "straighter" angle if you don't like the factory grip angle.

Okey, posted my first shots with my Tikka T1x at 50 yards on the last page.
Today, took it out to the range at 100 yards. CCI standard velocity. 22LR, 16 inch, sound moderator.
5 x consecutive 10 shot groups.
I’ve never shot a bolt 22 at 100 yards before. Is this good, bad or so-so? Largest group 3.95 inch. Smallest 2.40 inch.
Yeah i only use CCI SV to practice at 50 yds or drop a critter. I use CenterX or SK match at 100.In general the concensus seems to be CCI SV is reliable at 50 yards, but really spreads out at 100 yards, so using a higher quality ammo will give you a better idea of what the rifle is capable of at 100 yards.
That is a great price.Well thanks to this thread it cost me some money. Ordered a T1X yesterday for $400. I figure thats a great price so I couldn't pass it up!
So... Wild idea, has anyone SBR'd one of these yet? My suppressed .22LR SBR upper is the most fun thing in the safe but... not stunningly accurate like these are. I was thinking cut the barrel down to 6.5" or so, so the tip of my can clears the end of the KRG bravo... thoughts? Will I ruin accuracy? I will lose velocity, dont care, it will be ideal for hunting squirrels with and very light, handy, if it maintains accuracy wouldn't be awful as an NRL rig for kids... thoughts?

Good Shooting Inc.Where's the best place to pick up some different ammo to try? I guess I picked a bad time to buy a new gun. I would like to try a few different lots of CX, SK and some cci SV and when I find one it likes just buy 5000 rds of it.
Finally got my last piece in place, LW 20.5” threaded barrel. We will see if it was worth the investment shortly. I had zero complaints about accuracy but I’m who doesn’t want to push it just a little further.
Barrel is in the freezer right now and hopefully will be installed in another 30 minutes or so.
Ok. Had a free morning so we went back to the range to see how things look at 200
wanted to mention that when I bought both of these T1x together I wasn’t expecting for them to look different.
my T1x has deeper roll marks on the barrel and has hex screws putting it together.
my wife’s T1x has shallow roll marks and used Torx head screws putting it together.
also the receivers are marked differently. I was worried and have seen others question this.
after some range trips I’d say our sample of 2 shoot near identical.
the SK yellow , red, and the Lapua Center x all shot very similar at 200. Probably call it a wash
the Wolf ( Eley ) MT was a bit worse.
the CCI SV was high and right and printed in the Lapua group
the CCI SV has 4 nice together and a large flier
this was the same on both of our guns.
because the CCI was such a large shift from where the SK/ Lapua grouped I don’t think I’ll be shooting it on our Tikkas anymore.
each gun has maybe 50 rds thru it.
groups were shot 1 after the other with no cleaning in between
order was SK yellow , SK red, Lapua, Wolf, last was CCI sv
so are these groups pretty typical of what I should expect at 200?? Would more lot testing make much of a difference??
curious to see how much of an improvement in your groups.
