The T1X fit standard Tikka T3 centrefire stocks so finding a timber one is easy enough

I use the 16 in barrel as it’s easier around vehicles etc and a longer barrel is unnecessary for velocity

The factory suppressor is excellent but I fitted a DPT with 2 extra baffles because I felt like it

I’m nearly at 3000 rounds of subsonic and there’s been no abnormality other than about 1 in 100 shots goes supersonic


Accuracy of the T1X with CCI SV is stunning, am dialling mine a lot to 200 yards on Rabbits and 150 yards on Plovers

It’s shooting 60mm groups at 200yrds in ZERO wind

If your wanting accuracy at 300 yards just remember that 1fps difference at 300 yards = 1/4 inch of vertical

I’m using a G1 BC of .123

This rifle supersedes my 1954 Annie Ultra Match in every way for hunting

As an aside this VX5 has been dialled furiously for well over 2000 shots and it’s still dialling perfectly, probably the hardest I have ever thrashed an elevation turret

Totally happy with the rifle and scope combo
