Tikka T1X

[Techcoat]

Looking at the new T1X it looks like you can swap the barrel ? seems like 3 grub screws that hold the barrel in the action?

What do you make of it so far? is it a decent bit of kit?

Interesting. Is that a .17 or 22LR? We are getting very confusing stories here in the US. Some say the .22LR won't be here til winter, yet an outfit in Kentucky seems so have been selling them already as their "Availability In Stock" numbers go down regularly. Yet at the same time the web site has a "pre-order" list.~Muir

PS: Just to be sure I checked this company's website again. They claim to have 16 of the 22LR in stock but are sold out of 17HMR.

What the heck?

It’s a .17 .22 are October I’m told by GMK uk.

The advertised prices here in the USA are high as a cat's back - twice the price of a CZ 455.

I sure hope they settle down a bit.

 

[Muir]

Thanks. I suspected as much. I'll call this outfit in the US to see if they are just blowing hot air about having 22LR in stock.~Muir

Really? I paid for mine in full at a Scheels store and it was $459: A price I'm holding them to as their policy requires all "Special Orders" to be paid in full. I paid the price they quoted me. Whittaker Guns in KY is the outfit that says they have 22LR.~Muir

Addendum: I'd requested a quote from Whittakers. $419 so that's even cheaper than what i paid.

I guess that we son’t have .22 here in Finland yet. Just some .17.

I went to the web site of the retailer i mentioned and registered, then tried to order a T1X in 22LR. What came up in my cart was a "pre-order" statement so i backed out left the site. Obviously they are trying to hook people into paying ahead. I did pay in advance but there was no promise (at the time) of when to expect it other than "in the spring."~Muir

I guess you'd see them first! Let us know if you happen upon one.~Muir
