About This Firearm

The Tikka T1x is a synthetic-stocked bolt-action .22 LR built for practice and small game, and Tikka still builds it in Finland. Its bolt has the same footprint and the same 45 degree lift as the centerfire T3x, so working this rifle trains the motion the bigger one needs.

No open sights are fitted, so check the receiver rail on the rifle in hand before ordering a mount. The muzzle is threaded 1/2x28 for a rimfire can. The trigger is set at 3 lbs and adjusts with a 2.5 mm Allen key through the magazine well, so the action never leaves the stock. Ten rounds go in a detachable magazine.

If you're cross-shopping, the CZ 457 has an MSRP of $799, a heavier barrel, walnut and an 11mm dovetail instead of a rail. The Ruger Precision Rimfire has an MSRP of $629 and 6.80 lbs of chassis rifle with a 30 MOA Picatinny base already fitted, which the T1x does not have.

Best For

GOOD
Range/Target
The 20-inch barrel is cold hammer forged in what Tikka calls a cross-over profile, which it describes as giving heavy-barrel advantages without much added weight.
GOOD
Long Range/Precision
The barreled action fits T3x Lite and UPR stocks, so the same receiver can move into a chassis later.
FAIR
Varmint/Predator
5.95 lbs walks a field edge well enough, but with no sights fitted the optic and the mount have to be sorted before the first outing.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths
  • Tikka states the cold hammer forged barrel needs no break-in, so the rifle can be zeroed and used in the same week.
  • Ejection is mechanical, driven by the bolt instead of a spring and plunger.
  • The stock is modular and takes different pistol grips and recoil pads.
Limitations
  • No sights of any kind are fitted, so the rifle cannot be aimed until an optic and a mount that suits it are both bought.
  • The T1x magazine is not made to come apart, so a damaged one is replaced and not repaired.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which scope mounts are made for it?

Sako's Optilock bases and rings are built to fit Sako and Tikka actions, so check mount compatibility before buying one.

What twist rate is the barrel?

1-in-16.5, a little slower than the common 1-in-16 rimfire twist.

Is a left-hand action offered?

Yes. Tikka's US .22 LR configurations are listed with right-hand or left-hand actions, no open sights and a 10-round magazine.
