Found this over on the RimFire Cental website; this is a very simple single shot adapter for the T1X (or any rimfire really). The white block slips in place like a round, and you can easily drop a single shot into the chamber. Chambers and extracts without issue. There is a little hole in the front of the block where you stick the 'ribbed' finishing naile to extract the block. Simplicity is best, and this is as simple as it gets. This little device will allow the T1X to be used in NRA Smallbore Prone matches, where single feed is required:
Finally got my T1x today..
Got scope mounted and got it to my range.. shooting at 50yds, weather was cold and lightly snowing.
Got 15 groups of 5 on paper recorded. No barrel break in. Took the plastic barrel brace off halfway through, and also lightened trigger to 1.5lbs at that time.
All groups shot with CCI SV
Averaged 0.41” or 0.78MOA. Not greatest shooting ever, but much better than I expected with CCI.. my son shot a ten shot group at 0.61” his personal best.
Cant wait to have a clear day to try out some better ammo and see what it can really do!

Pretty damn solid when you think of it as a $480 factory rifle from the box.
Not bad at all!
Throw it in a chassis, and put on a match barrel and I bet it would really shoot!
??
Personally, I’ve just been wanting a gun that shoots consistently and it’s certainly doing that. Like I said, couldn’t be happier.

Contact rinardman over at Rimfire Central, and he can hook you real quick. I am very happy with this simple little device.

1st post, but got mine out this weekend in some pretty sustained high winds. CCI SV. Only mods so far are to lighten the trigger and I found that the factory mag and the 3 extra I bought were very hard to get the 10th round into the mags, to my thumbs detriment. So I took all the mags apart and removed a bit of the spring that allowed for more room in the mag and now 10 load relatively easily.
Only one extraction issue through over 400 rounds over Sat/Sun and it could have very well been my fault. Ordered an extended mag release and a bolt handle from mountain tactical.
10 round group at 25. Hopefully the next sessions at the range, the winds will be lower and get more repeatable results at 50 and beyond.

That’s good to know about the magazine spring, I’ve been having trouble getting a tenth round in too.
How much spring did you cut off? Still feeding reliably?

I just checked, PROMO Code GA208 is still working for 20% off, even sale items. Buy 3+ mags or $75 for free shipping. I got a phenomenal deal on a Sako Quad heavy varmint barrel in 17 HM2 for my new Quad Range coming.
Just checked, my Sako Quad Varmint barrel in 17 HM2 cost $236.59 shipped. Just in case anyone with a Quad wants one.
Thanks for the code, you saved me $12.50.
If we ever meet, the drinks are on me.
I fitted a yoDave trigger spring and with the screw fully out I still couldn’t get below a 2lbs trigger pull. I filled down some the screw face, so it could come out even further. Didn’t drop that much, then cocking became unreliable.
My two T3 triggers are fine, adjust lower with factory than my T1X and works with the yo Dave. Anyone else seen issue with their stock T1X trigger and don’t been able to drop it down to a decent weight?
A lot of T1X's have some sear stuff that won't let it go below 2lbs, regardless of spring. I'm not sure if that's a new safety thing but it's happening a lot in the T1X triggers. Rimfire central has a good post on this with what the issue was, only way is to file down the sear / send it back to beretta to fix.
Sorry for the late reply, so far I don't really face an issue like your problem, I also have mccarbo spring I try it before and am getting down to 1# for that spring.The yd as picture says my average now is 14oz. I can still go down to 12oz if i have to but this is fine with me so far.
sorry if am not able to help your issue here,but "LITTLEPOD" above have something to help your issue.GOOD LUCK!

Can't get T1X trigger < 2.5lbs
I just got my new T1x. It also has the same sear engagement problem when the trigger pull weight is reduced. Does anyone have had this issue fixed by Beretta ? Or is there a way to increase the sear clearance for proper trigger reset ?

Thank you. Would anyone be kind enough to link me to the specific thread. I’ve tried looking but haven’t found it yet.
I’d consider sending it back..
Clearly not working correctly...
If nothing else find out what they have to say..
I’m all for dealing with stuff myself, but at some point it’s the manufacturer’s responsibility.

According to the manual:
"Weight comes from the factory set at 13-15 N (3 lbs) and can be adjusted between 10 and 20 N (2 1/4 to 4 7/16 lbs). "
So not being able to go below 2 lbs will probably not be considered a faulty trigger by the manufacturer.

Yeah, maybe not..
I guess if nothing else could go aftermarket, but it’s 250 for Timney and 290 for Krg... seems a shame when most people are having good luck with the factory trigger..

I'm thinking about a Jard trigger for mine, with the 9-11 oz spring. I can always buy the heavier spring if I want. Pretty much all I do with mine is punch paper and take care of the squirrels in my pecan trees.
What cases do ya'll use for your t1x? I have a t1x in an oryx chassis but all I'm finding are skimpy soft cases that are too long (that broke once I brought it home), or overkill hard cases. Just looking for something to get to the range and back.
I got one of each of these in a 42” case. Both work really well.

IBI and Lothar/Walther both make a drop in barrel for around $300. Both available from Brownells.
I'd highly recommend the IBI barrel. I'm so impressed with mine I bought one for my 457. Should ship out middle of next week.
Do you have the new chamber they’re using?
I heard of great results from the IBI barrels with the Eley and 52D chambers, but haven’t heard any feedback on the newer barrels with the Calfee chambers..
Presumably, they should also shoot well, but it’d be good to see some data.

The 457 barrel will come with the Callfee 4. I have the 52D in my T1x barrel and it shoots fantastic and with several types. I wanted to try something different this time.

Dd you order the IBI 457 barrel from someone in the USA? I've heard ordering barrels from Canada is a major PIA. I thought they were only doing the EPS, 52D chambers. I will be interested in hearing how the Califee 4 chamber works out, hopefully equal or better than the 52D on your T1x.
Thanks, Wrenchforge, I found them. I wish they gave a better description, they don't say anything about a match chamber or type. I wonder if they will get some in without the threaded barrel, not my thang! Will be waiting to hear how KOD's 457 turns out.
