BTW I really like your rig! I've had almost the exact thing in mind for a while. I'd only chop a few inches off the front end (down to 16") and add a suppressor.

You can chop em to about 12-14" without losing accuracy. The "fully supressed" ones from factory are just that.

This is 780mm without supressor I think.

This makes me want a 22 again, and a place to smash a few critters with it. Miss small game hunting

As far as looks go, I preferred it with the BX15. More practical too. Has anyone ever heard any reason why they banned 15rd 22 mags? Pure incompetence is my assumption, but was there actually a reason? Picture from days gone by.

The Tikka T1X guys..... how abouts bit of a review?

I'm buying a new rimfire (and another 223) with my confiscation money, and its either a T1X or its another self-built 10/22 with fancy parts......

Agreed, I reckon a TX1 in .17hmr would be quite good. Would love to hear more about them.

Here ya go @Gibo

Stirling 14p bolt action .22lr with 4x32 Nikko Stirling Hunts Master scope.

I run three dedicated rabbit rigs though the Unique is semi retired and only taken out for the odd walk on warm summer evening..... still deadly .

Marlin 917 in 17 HMR , accurate workhorse that runs better dirty than clean and isn't to heavy to carry to a spot and start carnage.
Unique , french semi auto, amazing little rifle, very very reliable ( 700 - 800 rounds before a jam ) and accurate.
Ruger 10 /22 , tweeted by Gundoc and despite my cynicism turned out to be a tack driver and a great tool capable of a high work rate.

I have had a lot of other stuff over the years but after many many rifles for rabbits I have distilled down to these three.

There are plenty of complimentary reviews online.
I replaced a CZ455 with the T1x, mainly because I wanted my .22 to have the same ergonomics as my t3. The ability to share parts between the t1x and the t3 is handy.
As for how it shoots - easily on par with the CZ, and I'm sure it will get better when it's broken in. Currently sub MOA with CCI subs.
The finish is better than the CZ, the magazines are much nicer, the trigger is better, especially when replaced with a 2 stage timney, and my Stug T3 stock fits perfectly.
So far it's ticking a lot of boxes for me.

Here's my couple of rimfire bunny rigs

First the Savage 93r17 BTVS, this things is responsible for popping off aloooot of bunnies

And the CZ 452. This thing has also got it fair share of bunnies but TBH it really excels knocking off maggies and plovers

Totally agree ,
I bought mine because of the Familiarity aspect of my T3 , and the aftermarket availability of bits and pieces for the Tikka platform.
Accuracy is first class with standard velocity target ammunition , haven’t tried high velocity hunting ammo .
Feeds , functions beautifully, and the trigger is the same as the T3 , totally adjustable, but it does benefit from fitting a lighter spring .

That Stirling .22 has put pay to countless hares I shudder to think what you could do with a .17 and some better glass
