- Borrowing the stock from the T3x shown in the "Tikka T3x delivers" video to see what the T1x is capable of.
Ingredients: Tikka T1x 22 LR, Manners PRS1TK stock, Contessa 20 MOA scope base, Spuhr SP4616 scope mount and Schmidt und Bender 3-20X50 PMII scope.
Nice rig! I got my 6.5 PRS1TK for my CTR a few months ago. Currently getting it bedded, the barrel fluted, and bolt tightened up. Sits at 11 lbs even with the carb fiber stock so hoping I can get it down a bit.
Thanks!
Truth be told, I don't have a rifle that weighs less than ten pounds, fully equipped. That includes rifles I hunt with. I know that's heresy to a lot of hunters out there. I feel it's worth the effort to haul a heavier rifle around if that means I'm able to shoot 100 or more rounds at a time at the range in order to become proficient with that rifle.
Sounds like you have a great set up. Enjoy!
Thanks for watching!
T1x looks like a rifle I need in my 22 collection
Ron,
It's a great value plus, there's no such thing as having too many guns!
Thanks for the comment and thanks for watching!
Great Video and multi use of the Manners stock, is it the PRS1TK for a T3 or CTR? fitted with the Manners mini chassis? I'm looking to do the same, adding a manners stock to my T3.
isadog2,
To the best of my knowledge, the PRS1 TK with mini chassis will work with any Tikka T3x rifle chambered for a short action cartridge (223 Rem, 6.5 Cm, 308 Win, 300 WSM, etc.) plus the T1x (with a little modification) however, it will not accept the CTR magazines.

I believe you can order a PRS1 stock for a CTR however, you would have to use your factory bottom metal and install your own recoil lug and bed it. Give Manners a call to be sure.
Pay attention to what barrel contour you have when ordering your stock.
Thanks for the comment and thanks for watching!
i really love that stock for the Tikka T1X, what camo pattern is that ? any other modification other than for the bolt stop ?
Frank,
I believe the color is called "Elite Tac Black Forest".

Other than chiseling out a section of the stock to clear the T1x bolt release, the only other mod I made was to shorten the pin that secures the bolt release to the receiver which takes a few minutes with a hand file.
Viewers may be interested to know that Lothar Walther is making barrels for the T1x. I hope to have one soon. Also, Murphy Precision is making 5.5 inch long scope bases with uninterrupted picatinny slots with 0, 10, 20 and custom inclinations in stainless and titanium. Check it out!

Hi, I just purchased this tikka from Rinkor Arms, Skyler told me to look you up on here. I was wondering what the specs on the new barrel were and who performed the work? Excited to stretch its legs. Thanks, Ben Gibson
Ben,
The new barrel is from Lothar Walther. It's a 20.5" barrel, .9" in diameter with a 1:16" twist and threaded 1/2X28 at the muzzle.
You may want to try a few different flavors of ammunition to see what the new set up prefers.
Enjoy!
do you know if brands of thumhole stocks that have been inletted for the T1X ?..i was just thinking that the barrel being a medium thickness might not fit properly
kookaluv,
You may wish to check out German Gun Stock company. They make a few stocks for the Tikka:

It appears their stocks are bolt in and go for the T1x.
Thanks for watching!
The t1x fits the inlet of the t3x
That is one good looking rifle. I found a used one with only 50 rounds in it. Told my brother he bought it. WHY DID I DO THAT!!! I’m trying to buy it from him. Great rifle. Be sure to try Lapua ammo. It can make a big difference
@sekaf4125
Thanks!
Agreed about Lapua ammunition. Their Center-X shoots great out of all my 22 rifles.
Thanks for the comments and thanks for watching!
Very accurate video .Thanks for that .Does anybody know if a t1x stock will fit a tikka t3 lite? Got a project in mind .thanks
Crafter I have understood from reviews that they are interchangable.
@@jandeeg152 Thanks pal .Your a diamond.
Crafter if you really want to be sure, you can also get in contact with your Tikka-importer! Always a pleasure to help!
@@jandeeg152 majic pal .Thanks again. Ps Getting set up for a t3 .6.5x55 hind hunt with good friends here in Scotland .Might have to wet my whistle with a cheeky little Famous Grouse whisky (a low flyer)round the fire later .God bless.
Can it be dry fired or not? What about shooting stingers through it?
Margaret,
It is recommended that you use a Snap Cap or similar device to prevent potential damage to the chamber of a rimfire firearm when dry firing. You can find them at Cabela's, Bass Pro, Brownells and even Amazon.
I'm sure CCI Stingers will do just fine in the T1x though I never fired those in that rifle.
Thanks for watching!
How much does this stcok in your vid cost ? I believe your shooter is a true winner in .22.
Mark,
Around $1200.00 with some basic options.
You can order them direct from Manners (and wait forever) or find them at retailers such as Altus.

Sometimes Manners will have a few that customers have abandoned for whatever reason so, it pays to keep an eye on their inventory.
Thanks for the comments and thanks for watching!
Do you have an opinion on which set up you like better, the CZ 527, Sako Quad, or the T1x?
Mark,
I believe the Sako is worth the investment if a person just wants a multi caliber rifle for casual plinking or small game hunting. Overall, it's my favorite rimfire rifle.
What attracted me to the T1x is the fact that I could install it in the Manners PRS1TK stocks I already had. I was pleasantly surprised by how well it performed.
I don't have a CZ 527 therefore, cannot comment on that rifle.
While we're talking rimfire, I spoke with Craig at Area 419 a few weeks ago and he said he was working on a video comparison of the CZ, T1x and the Vudoo V-22. I am eager to see if the Vudoo lives up to the hype.
Thanks for watching!
had a Quad, put it on a mcmillan stock, lilja barrel, then I sold it and went for Vudoo V22
Liu Xiao,
Interesting.
Is your Vudoo V22 capable of a higher degree of precision than the Sako Quad you had?
Thanks for your comment!
@@landsandgroovesproductions8157 hi, thanks for reply, if we talk the precision and accuracy, they are at same level, both are very accurate, the only problem with the Quad is the ejection problem with the Lilja, sadly, the most accurate ammo i tested on that quad can't be ejected almost every single time.
Does changing the stock realy help to improve something?
fujimatosa,
I didn't fire the T1x with the factory stock so I can't say the change in stock improved the precision of the rifle though I do believe the Manners stock helped me shoot more accurately.
Thanks for your question and thanks for watching!
👍
Спасибо!
In case I totally screwed that up in Russian: Thanks!
Is the rangefinder reading in metres or yards?
TK Gus,
The reading is in meters.
On the Leica Geovids, a small red dot will appear at the bottom right corner of the reticule to indicate meters.
Thanks for watching!
That reads in Metards that is the new world standard, Look it up, best measuring system going.
Looks like a very expensive set-up. Manners, Schmidt & Bender.
Raftjumper07,
Yes, those components are expensive. I borrowed them from my T3x and Desert Tech projects respectively.
My experiments with the Tikka's I have fired revel a paradoxical quality: they are capable of nearly the same level of precision as the other rifles I have featured on this channel, which cost several times more.
Thanks for watching!
What is wrong with the stock Stock?
EarlyMist,
Nothing is wrong with the factory stock.
The purpose of this video was to demonstrate that a Manners PRS1 TK stock can be modified with minimal effort so that it works with the T1x.
Thanks for the question and thanks for watching!
I AM CURIOUS DOES THIS STOCK CHANGE IMPROVE ITS ACCURACY FROM THE FACTORY ONE??!! IT LOOKS GREAT THOUGH.
Sam,
I have not fired this rifle with the factory stock.
I purchased the rifle knowing that I would use it with the Manners PRS1 TK.
Something to consider: Owning one MCS PRS1 TK and two or more Tikkas is a viable alternative to the multi caliber rifle arrangement.
Thanks for the comments and thanks for watching!
@@landsandgroovesproductions8157 THANKS FOR THE REPLY, WHAT MADE YOU SELECT THE MANNERS OF THE KRG BRAVO MODEL? I THINK THE KRG IS A CHEAPER AFTER MARKET STOCK, NOT IN QUALITY BUT JUSR COST.
Sam,
I did try a KRG Whiskey as well as a Masterpiece Arms chassis with the Tikka T3x and cannot say there is an appreciable difference in performance (accuracy wise) between those and the PRS1 TK.
Ultimately, I chose the Manners stock simply because I felt it was more comfortable.
The fact that the T1x bolts right in without much modification to the stock is something to consider. I no longer have the KRG or MPA chassis so, can't say if the T1x will work with those.
Thanks!
Did someone cut your vocal cords?
No, I chose not to speak.
Nice rifle great stock choice wrong scope mount that’s copies way above the bore line
Frank,
Thanks.
High scope mounts are simply my preference.

Lands and Grooves Productions Long range shooting with a 17 hmr? Lol
Or whoops. I mean .22. Same deal.
