I’m an equal opportunity rimfire guy. I like to try them all. Tikka makes a great rifle but I think I’m down to one Sl 7mm Rem and the T1X. Seekins rifles have taken over most of my centerfire uses.
Just picked up a T1x. Are the sterk swept bolt handles in stock anywhere?
I just set up an in stock alert at EuroOptic and had to wait.
They are very worth it in my opinion.
It can be done, I believe MDT actually started inletting their T3 chassis to work with the T1x after a while (but don’t quote me on that).
I have my T1x in a T3 Oryx chassis (pre inlet update) and the action and trigger fit without the magwell attached as they are the same footprint, but you will need to remove some material where the bolt head holding the magwell interferes with the chassis if you want to use mags.
You will also need to remove the chassis mag latch and do some clearancing on the rear wall of the chassis magwell to be able to fit a T1x mag in there.
It would be a bit of a PITA swapping back and forth (probably 10 minutes give or take), but certainly doable.
I have a TRG and looking hard at a Tikka in a KRG as a trainer.
Does the KRG take the TRG bipod?
Got home with my new t1x and took it apart to inspect and was adjusting the trigger weight when the mag catch exploded. I have the pin and the release lever but can’t find the spring anywhere. Anyone know what size that spring is?
You order direct from John, he's on the Hide - or EuroOptic (when they are in stock).

I ordered a 20" barreled T1X this morning from GrabAGun. They were the only people that had one listed in stock.
I checked Euro Optic first, but they showed Out Of Stock...
Hopefully I'll have it around the 15th or so.

I ordered from gunzonedeals, it shipped within a day or two and made it to my ffl in less than a week. I’d have preferred to buy locally but no one had one in stock or could even get one in a timely manner that I could find. Gunzonedeals had free shipping and a good price.
I just ordered a 30. Provided that your optic has more than 60moa of total elevation and you plan to use 0moa rings/mount, the 30moa rail would be preferred.
Anyone who has put the T3x recoil pad on their T1x to increase length of pull:
Just got a T3x recoil pad in the mail. The two screw holes in the T3x pad are not countersunk, so unless I drill down the screws which came with the T1x aren't long enough and they would stick out.
Before I drill too much as wreck the T3x recoil pad..... what did you do to get it to fit on the T1x?

T3x pad on one of my T1x. The other T1x has the factory plastic on it for comparison. T3x pad is a drop in fit and works perfect with the T1x stock.
KoD is correct. It will fit - you just need to put a little dish soap on the screw heads to help them sink through the rubber of the pad to the plastic backing plate. You will feel them drive home into the stock threads and torque up. Just be sure not to over tighten and strip the threads. Manual Phillips screw driver only - absolutely no need for a drill!

I know there are a few mods you need to do to make the t3 Bravo stock fit a T1x. Has anyone ever done the opposite and tried to use a t1x bravo stock for a t3 rifle. I have a t1x set up for a trainer but would like to drop my t3 308 in it and use reduced loads for my daughter to hunt with.
Magwell would probably be your biggest problem. If you were single feeding only, I see no reason why it wouldn’t work as the action footprint are the same between t1x/t3
Not gonna work going from t1x to t3, the t1x bravo doesn't have the magazine well lever because its built in on the T1x action, and it's missing metal to even put in a mag lever for t3 setup.
Heres my t3 bravo being used for a t1x
Yes it would have to be single fed but I was just wondering if it would drop in and bolt down with no mods.
Has anyone had issues suppressing their T1x? I am getting a huge POI shift...we're talking feet at only around 30yds. Same suppressor is dead nuts on when on my 22/45.
I've shot countless rounds out of the three T1x I have had and all shot more accurate suppressed. POI change was insignificant. Use a Sparrow.
Shot mine with a Dead Air Mask owned by a friend. Miniscule amount of POI shift (tenth mil, maybe) noticed. Accuracy was great.
Did you look to see if you were getting baffle strikes? It may be possible that the threads on the end of the barrel are not centered to the bore.
I did not see any evidence of baffle strikes. I'm going to check more closely. Suppressor is a Texas Silencer Scoundrel
Fedex Tracking shows that my new rifle will be at the FFL on Thursday, I went ahead and ordered an Area 419 30 MOA Rail to get it on the way as well.
Christmas may be looking up this year for me after all.

Bummer. Mine showed as delivered pretty quickly, but it turns out it wasn’t actually delivered to my ffl and the tracking doesn’t show the address of where they sent it. Gunzonedeals has been pretty much non-responsive.
Hey guys, just wanted to say hi. I'm getting my first Tikka, order it on Black Friday, along with a chassis and few other accessories and should be here this week. Was into the 3 gun game but when Trudeau banned AR's I decided to get into rimfires. I'm pretty excited about getting into something new and the learning, and going balls deep in this. So expect a few dumb question but I'll do my best to limit them
I have to assume that everyone receiving their T1X's are not posting in response to the question regarding when left hand models might be arriving??
I've never seen what a strike on a suppressor looks like, but that looks like one to me. Did you contact anyone at Texas Silencer to see what they think?
Called them 6 times this week, left them two voicemails...nothing yet. Disappointing. That's what I get for taking a chance with limited reviews/info and impulse buying what was available at the moment....damn you Kettle One. I have a Dead Air Mask in jail right now...probably going to order another soon.
Do you think it is enough to throw POI off by a few feet at 50yds?
Texas Silencer reached out to me this morning after sending them an email and posting about it on a facebook group. I'm going to be sending it to them for inspection/repair after the holidays.
Any of you guys with custom 22lr barrels running anything other than 16:1 twist ? Or is that just the consensus twist rate for rimfire ?
I got my Tikka in on Friday and the 30 MOA rail will be here on Wednesday.
I will be running an Athlon Argos BTR Gen 2 6-24 X 50 scope with the sunshield and Vortex Defender Caps.
What height rings will work ?
I'd like to get the rings ordered ASAP

I used These for my Bushnell scope which is similar to yours. Still has enough clearance to add a scope cover.
Thanks for the info !
I SWAG’ed around 1” height on the rings, but the extra 10 MOA on the rail made me second guess myself.
Yes. The can is brand new. It is going back to be fixed. Their response...
"Totally covered under warranty. They will hand adjust in the machine room and QC the alignment to ensure it’s dead center. Should be a quick turn. Send it our way and we got ya covered."
