You and me both Jon!!!!! About flipping time.
Had the T1x out to 340 yards peppering a 3“ diameter rock. Did pretty good shooting CCI SV with 16.2mils of elevation dialled. Looking forward to seeing how it does out at 400 & 500 yards. Might have to use some higher velocity ammo for those ranges.
You can get the bergara barreled action threw Browells for $650 but everything is back order, all the reviews I have read it’s the Tikka shot better overall with multiple ammo
Is that the IBI barrel? What chamber does it have? That's a nice looking setup.
Yes, it’s an IBI in a calfee4 chamber. It seems to be just as accurate as my Anschutz 54 Match. The thing I like about the Tikka over the Anschutz is the 10 round mag vs single shot.
Got back out today and shot the T1x at 440 yards after shooting my 300 PRC at 700 yards. Had a bunch of hits on the 12” x 20” plate and a few on the 9” x 9”. You can see the small round impacts of the 22lr vs the effect of the 300s. Had to dial 23mils and hold another 1.5mils. To put it in perspective that is the exact same election I dialled in my scope when I was shooting at 2200 yards with my 338 Lapua. 
Pretty cool shooting. Looks like a nice spot too. Hoping to get out with my yet to be shot 300 PRC GAP build soon.Got back out today and shot the T1x at 440 yards after shooting my 300 PRC at 700 yards.

There was no noticeable change in accuracy when I removed it from my T1x.
There are two aftermarket T1X handles AFAIK. Anarchy Outdoors and Sterk. Both have different shaped knobs and replacement handles.
Frank, if you buy one of the AO bolt handles you can put any 5/16-24 bolt knob on it. I had a Sterk on mine and switched to the AO because I wanted something a little longer. I put the back swept handle and a knob similar to that one on my rifle.
Nice I like that.
I had a spare rubber bolt knob thingy from amazon and dropped it on till now.
Messy garage counter gets used for everything.
Still have to decide on it I am pulling and getting the barrel cut down or will snag a new barrel from Lothar Walther. IBI probably shoots them best but I want her to have a 16” barrel and IBI doesn’t do that.
first thing is to shoot this barrel. nakoa1 shot it and it seemed to shoot really well so maybe I will just leave it be
I have that same rubber knob on mine and it made a hell of difference in bolt manipulation for me. Looks like hell but works well.
If it was me I would leave the barrel as is for now at least. It’s a lighter profile so the weight shouldn’t be an issue. My 10yo son used a T1x in a Bravo for most of last seasons matches and he was fine. He did have a little problem with the length of the barrel but that was due to his height. If she does really take an interest then it’s time to really personalize the rifle for her. This is how I did it anyway and it seemed to work out. I just didn’t want to invest a bunch of time and money building a rifle for someone who wasn’t really interested in shooting. I knew if I did I would end up reconfiguring it later. I had a good friend who did this, pink stock and all. It turned out that the person he built the rifle for liked the idea of shooting but wasn’t willing to actually put any effort into actually going to shoot. He had a ton of money wrapped up in a pink rifle that sat in his safe. In the end he bought all new parts and rebuilt the rifle for himself.
That’s the knob that came on my Vudoo. I switched a few of my knobs around to see how I liked the different knobs on different rifles. I put a slightly slimmer, longer knob on my Vudoo to see how I liked it. I have a Badger ordnance tactical knob that is very similar though.
I have seen posts that say Beretta currently isn't planning on importing lefties. The left hand version is mentioned on the Finland site but not on the US site. Have you heard if/when they will be stateside?
Im in Straya' (Australia) and Beretta Australia has said left hand T1x are due end of 2020, but I'm completely expecting that to be delayed (shipments are always late, never early, plus the current world crisis). I might find its only .17HMR and even longer until a .22LR shipment.
I really hope they do start shipping the lefty to the US. My son is a lefty and he is currently shooting a 10/22 due to the lack of good options in bolt rifles for lefties. I may need to start looking for an older lefty CZ if they don’t show up soon.
It is possible (or has anyone done it already) to modify a manners w/ mini chassis, to be able to swap from a T3x to a T1x? Looking to order a Manners PRS and was wondering since my T1x is in an ACC right now.
So I finally cleaned my can after 2k rounds, and I had some grime stuck on the crown of the barrel, I haven’t had any luck removing it with my hand, solvent or the dip. Without shooting it any way to confirm if I have screwed up my rifle? I could get the barrel cut down, would this negate all of my ammo testing?
Try Bore Tech C4 Carbon Remover Bore Cleaning Solvent Liquid
Midway has it.... Set the gun upside down in a cap or something deep enough o cover the carboned up area. It's not instant but it works.

I did try that with the dip (50/50 vinegar/hydrogen peroxide) and all it did was scree up the finish on the muzzle.... I will get some bore tech and try that. Thank you.
Yes Sir. 50/50 vinegar/hydrogen peroxide will also de-rust ... and de-blue a gun pretty effectively. At least now you don't have to worry about the finish being affected if it is already damaged.
Yea. The barrel finish is pretty good from the factory, the action finish on mine was another story, I wipe it off after every range trip but it’s got surface rust on the outside which I was surprised about. It’s a tool not worried, but doesn’t inspire a great deal of faith.
Has anyone had any luck with swapping out for one of the LW 17hmr barrels? Thinking of putting together a build for one since have an extra Sterk T1x handle and a rail lying around. Figured would mimic something similar to my 22 build.
So I answered my own question and found out that the t1x will drop in to a manners mini chassis prs1tk, you just have to trim a little off of the chassis to clear the bolt release. I am getting my prs1tk Tuesday and will be checking it out. If I end up doing it I will post some photos, if anyone is interested.
That's a great choice, I'm sure you won't be disappointed.
Damn, that sucks. Been holding out waiting for these to hit the shelves.
I think you will be very happy with your purchase. The Tikka in the Bravo is a hard combo to beat for the money.
Yeah, I was disappointed to hear it. When I called and talked to EuroOptics about using my deposit on the Christensen towards the Tikka I told him what I was told. He said something along the lines of "Yeah, and that is if they're actually on schedule." If the Christensen is awesome when it comes out I may still grab one...by then I will probably be ready for my next toy.
Looks great. I'm sure parts will be showing up for the next week or so. I have a DIP scope rail, Vortex precision rings, and one the new Vortex Strike Eagle 5-25x56 coming. We'll see if they earn their stay.
Here is my T1X. The pics do not do justice for the tikka add on vertical grip and beavertail forend. It really changes the whole feel and look of the rifle. I also added a DIP bolt handle to reduce the stiff bolt lift. As well as a DIP Picatinny rail.
Where did you order your Sterk parts from? They are out of stock everywhere I look.
The last batch was released beginning of march, we're now in may (2 months later) if you get in touch there's another batch starting production.
I put up a wtb ad in the rimfire fs section and had two guys hit me up. One had both the other had just the swept handle only. He still has the handle I'm pretty sure if you pm him. His member name is zenbike
So I got my T1x mounted in my new Manners Prs1tk. The only mod you have to do is sand a small relief for the bolt release. I am not going to lie, I was to excited to get it mounted and didn't take a close up. I am going to be mounting an area 419 arca rail tomorrow so I can take a close up photo then.
