Update for me. I got rid of my rprf and bought a cz457 varmint. Shoots like a charm and more accurate than my rprf. I tested with CCI standard velocity, sk standard plus, eley target, eley club, and federal gold medal. Love it. Shot well with all of them with CCI sv and sk standard plus coming out on top.
I'm surprised you bought the tikka t1x. It was either that or the cz457. We think alike. Lol good buy btw. I also recently bought a tikka t3x 308 stainless steel 22" barrel.
I didn't see your part 1 of this video going to look that up now. Well I'm glad you're happy with your t1x.
Thanks for the update brother glad your cz is working how it should! You'd be surprised on how many folks have commented and said theirs shot similar to mine and we're disappointed. The reason I went with the tikka is because the aftermarket is so vast since it has the same footprint as the t3. Glad yours worked out though!!
Haha, just watched Ruger long range video, was about to recommend a Tikka for you when I saw this. Can’t believe how well mine shoots with good ammo. Thanks for the videos!
yea i really enjoy this gun. had them both out to 450 this past weekend and the tikka had way more hits. i ordered a christensen arms ranger which is what i'm really excited about. won't be in until may-jun though.
My setup:
Savage mk II FV SR
Bushnell A22 3-10x
Ammo:
CCI stingers
Federal target
I normally shoot this out to 200 yards. Zero is at 50 yards and I use the preset adjustable turret that comes with the scope. My only issues are the bigger mags don't feed well and doesn't eject if it's dirty. But great accuracy.
I use this as a training rifle for my larger caliber rifles.
Savage 22s shoot consistently well. I've owned several but this one is by far the best. Glad I sold the 457 to get this. Thanks for the input!
@@coreyd1474 yeah the CZ results are very surprising. Glad I didn't waste the money.
Tikka has become very popular with anyone that is willing to give them a try. I would vote it to be one of the best bolt action rifles on the market. And for the money they're better than a lot of center fire bolts closer to the $2,000 mark.
When I put mine together I made a budget of $600. (Glass included). For the money spent I'm very happy. Runner up for me was Marlin.
I have been watching your ammo test and I guarantee you two things that I have learned in my own shooting experience with most guns... companies are especially guilty about these things when it comes to 22lr.
1) companies don't test to the same level as you do.
2) they usually only test with products they sell.
So my build (savage, Bushnell, and federal/CCI ammo) are all from the same parent company. I find doing this when possible works well.
And a third thing is "designer intentions" for the weapon. Who is going to use it? and for what? Guns designed for hunting / plinking are usually not tested as well as items for self defense / military / law enforcement. (This isn't true all the time but I find it far greater than 50% to be the case)
What's your opinion on these ideas? And have you tried doing any of these I have mentioned?
Nice video Cory. Thinking of getting one of these, but already have 2 Savage Mark II's and 2 CZ 457's and a Ruger Precision Rimfire. Still am tempted. I'm just up the road from you in Columbus.
IMO i wouldn't bother if you already have 2 cz's. it won't shoot much better and both have a 60 degree bolt throw and the cz extraction system is MUCH better. unless you just want one then i say go for it LOL. no you're not, about an hour or so.
8 Rounds is plenty for Fouling. Save u money. Use full power On scope for tightest groups . Dont use big targets draw a cross hair on paper target with a pen small aim point. do not shoot the center of target It will remove your aim point Do not squeeze your bag shim the bag as needed Place your thumb straight up the back strap of stock Pistol grip Just a few pointers you should see your groups cut in half Happy planking!
depends on the round but yes i agree 5-10 should do it
What is your best 22lr ammo and rifle combo. I have looked at several of your reviews and see that you did not like the CZ. You seem to like the Ruger precision and the 10/22. Those rifles seem to shoot the same as the CZ. The Tikka has only impressed me on the last ammo choice on this video. Wondering why you you use a app to measure sometimes and calipers other times.
this rifle with center x is by far the best. i stop using the app because it took way too long to measure every group, just quicker to do it with calipers.
I've had real good luck with several different lots of cci subsonic in my vudoo. Shot a brick of cci standard velocity and it did well too. Yeah I know its cheap ammo in an expensive gun but hey it likes it.
vudu better shoot everything well for that price LOL
@@coreyd1474 you would think, but sadly that's not the case. It likes sk and lapua the best with center x being its favorite. I'm like you though. I run everything over a chrono and see high sd's out of that high dollar ammo pretty frequently. Two out of three batches of about 4,000 rounds of cci subsonic have given me single digit sd's. My brick of standard velocity was around 9 I think. Had a killer box of sk rifle match, sd of 3! I had it a while before I shot it so getting any more of that lot was out of the question. I use a magneto speed sporter. Sensor on high it does good.
Sako p94s range Action screw torque 25LB sweet spot! Good ammunition wont make much difference tell you get the small stuff in your tool bag . Happy plinking! Nice rifle!
its definitely a pleasure to shoot!
Northeast Ohio isn't great for winter shooting. Calm days are few and far between, most of our shooting isn't as good as summer groups but it's good to send lead down range. Can't wait to get the 6BR out for the summer.
yea man it sucks for sure. especially right where i live i don't have a good place to shoot that's not out in the open and the wind is always ripping. centerfire is tolerable but not 22.
Maybe i missed it? CCI Standard Vel. and Federal Target were the two i thought shot the best through my T1x setup, also in a Bravo. Optic is a Athlon Argos 6-24 MOA. Did most the 50yd stuff on 12 power. CCI standard velocity i avg'd at the most 0.5" groups, i ran out of Fed. to really get a good sample size of that but it was very similar.
CCI standard velocity was in part one.
Since you've tested the T1X, the Ruger RPR, the CZ457 and the Ruger American 22LR, which was best out of the box? That would be a good vid.
well from MY personal experience i would be quick to say the tikka was better in every way than all of the others i've had. having said that..... i did not shoot it with the factory stock on it its a huge piece of trash and those krg bravos aren't cheap so take that in to consideration. having to still spend the extra money on a nice chassis i would still buy it over the rest if i had to do it again. one thing i'm excited about though i ordered a christensen arms ranger 22. should be in may-jun.
@@coreyd1474 That's good feedback. I bought a T1X and a CZ457 Varmint to compare the two for NRL22 base class. The 457 has a much nicer fit & finish, more metal, less plastic and a really nice stock. The T1X stock is crap and I need to mod the comb & the length of pull to make it fit.$$$ The CZ is perfect. The Tikka trigger out of the box is better and so are the mags and it shoots lights out. I'm headed to the range now with the 457 and if I can't get it to shoot better than the Tikka I'll sell it. I want it to be better, but the chips will fall where they fall.
@@TheGoatMumbler i agree the action and trigger is much better on the tikka. the trigger is about as good as it gets out of the box.
@@TheGoatMumbler how did the 457 do for you?
Where did you get the info on the Norma and rws being the same? I have a cz 455 trainer that shoots the rws fantastic. Unfortunately the Norma groups are 2-2.5 times worse than that. I've also had good luck with cci standard velocity, federal gold medal target, and eley tennex
No where just from looking at the rounds and the cases. Glad yours shoots it well though
@@coreyd1474 I wasn't trying to be a fanboy lol. I just hadn't heard that about the Norma being the same. Have you seen how many different ammos rws makes? If you look at 22LR ammo on midwayusa and search highest price first, they have some really high dollar stuff. Ive only shot the same you have that I got on sale for $3.29/50.
100 yards video would be very interesting!
i never got around to doing a 100 yard video with it before i sold it. But i can tell you i was splitting playing cards with every other second or third shot with it using center x. Also pretty easy to hit a 11x14 silhouette at 450 yards with it.
Mine shoots really nice with SK Rifle Match and SK Flatnose Match. 10 shots and 10mm cc, 0.393 inches at 50 meters, 55 yards.
i really like it.
i wish i knew which one of these 22s i should get lol its killing me,Ruger precision, savage b22 fv-sr or CZ or something else... i wish i could do the savage because i have a savage 110 tactical which is my long range shooting project so a 22 savage training rifle with acu trigger seems interesting but the stock on all these rifles need to be replaced except for ruger precision ...gives me a headache
It's a crap shoot really. My cz shot like trash and my rprf is ok but it's inconsistent. I can say the Tikka is definitely the best. I also ordered the new Ruger American rimfire long range and target. Should be in any time
Try measuring the outside edge of the groups and then subtract the diameter of the bullet to figure out the group size. An example would be if the largest outside edges were .75 then subtract .22 for a group size of .53.
thanks for the advice!
Would like to see the accuracy of the tikka tx1 vs Christensen arms ranger.
i've got one ordered, but they aren't shipping until may-june according to christensen
Have you had a chance to get out to 100 yds? I would love to know what the groups did. Great video, btw.
i haven't had a chance to do a full wright up at 100 but i was out splitting cards with it at 100. With center x ammo i either grazed or split a playing card about every 3rd or 4th shot. so i'm sure it would be well under 1 inch at 100.
My 22LR: Tikka T1X 22LR, Vortex Diamondback 6x24x50, Area 419 30 MOA rail, Warne MountainTech 30mm Med. rings, Harris S-BRM bipod. I haven’t found a need to change the stock (less money for ammo - I’m cheap and need to feed my handguns and centerfires). @100 yds with CCI standard velocity off a bipod with a squeeze bag I was avg. 0.885. I dropped the pull weight down last night and will be curious to see if the groups improve with THAT ammo. I have some lapua centerx, and a variety of SK ammo, plus one box of RWS. I’m hoping to get out next Tuesday to see what it likes, but I’m waiting on the weather and it is Feb. but I’ve been very pleased with its performance thus far. Out of curiosity how often are you doing a full clean? From what I am reading online from people shooting NRL22, most are not doing a full clean that often. This goes against my centerfire sensibilities.
@@whliving I've got the same scope on my ruger american long-range target and another on an ar thats probably my favorite scope for the money. i can't really give you a solid accuracy improvement on going from the crappy factory stock to the chassis because i never did shoot it with the factory one. as far as cleaning goes ive shot it about 1500-2000 times and have only ran a bore snake through it a few times. i would have to notice a sever accuracy decrease to do a full cleaning. maybe at the 3k mark? not real sure.
So, you’re officially happy with this rifle ? Glad it’s working out for you.
So far so good. The action and trigger is better than any other 22 I've ever felt out of the box by far
Corey D I thought you would like it
@@lucabrasi5070 buddy it's good
Corey D now get a proper front rest and rear bag and let that thing show you what it can really do.
@@lucabrasi5070 going to as soon as we get some calm weather here in Ohio.
What are you using as your point of aim ??? What I'm seeing is aim shift or wind
center of the target
Say Corey....you gona ditch the Ruger precision rimfire? Your Tikka may take front stage now. With your additions you may be up to $1200 or so.... do a follow up after somore break in on the Tikka...
man i tell ya, i had them both out the other day to do some testing at 100 yards (which was uneventful it was way too windy) and those two guns aren't even on the same planet. the tikka is so much better it isn't even funny. after shooting the tikka 1200-1300 times or so then going back to the ruger it felt like the biggest pile of trash ever. still shoots well tho which i guess is all that matters i guess tho and its still fun to shoot. i'm gonna keep it no sense selling it won't get any thing for it.
I really appreciate your content
Honest , no excuse
No fluff
Btw beside Lapua center-X
Which cheaper ammo that shoot well for you ?
Several check out part one! Thanks for watching
Try some cci green tag with diff et screw torque. mines averaging .72“ at 100yds with an older lot I have in the factory stock with the action screws at 45 inlb tq. I’ve played with several tq settings and it seems to like them very tight. I also got very promising results with the front screw at 42 and rear at 25 but was getting slight poi shift depending on pressure applied to stock, since going 45 it’s subsided.
i did try green tag in the first part. green tag has not done well out of any of my rifles. its all 22 plinkster propaganda LOL
Corey D 🤣🤣🤣 ive been slinging greentag for ages mine tended to like gt only after changing screw tq.
@@joshwilson701 action screw torque making any difference is a myth.
Corey D in a properly bedded rifle I agree, in an imperfectly seating action it does make a difference.
You realize everyone on the internet has a 22 that shoots 1/2" groups haha
1/4
In my experience center-x does not shoot the same lot to lot as with all brands. I bought a box and was shooting bug holes so i ordered a brick and wah.. wah..went from a 5 shot .298" to .642" lot# is very important with 22lr. So what brand you shoot today does not mean they will shoot well on your next purchase. Btw. Trying to find the lot# your rifle shoots is not easy just more frustration.
i haven't shot it enough yet, they've all been from the same lot.
Set mine in oryx, feels great
have you started having extraction issues yet?
@@coreyd1474 not yet, why?
@@sunnesonne the ejection system in those is pretty crappy. wears out quickly.
MEASURE YOUR RIM THICKNESS OF EACH ROUND, IT HELPS TO MAKE IT MORE CONSISTENT.
too tedious for plinking
Have you made the 100yrds test yet?
I tried a few weeks ago but it was super windy. I did have it out last weekend and was splitting playing cards with it like it was nothing
@@coreyd1474 please post when you're ready. I can't wait.
Do they have that stock in left handed
the offer lefty models in the bravo for the rem 700 s/a but i do not believe for the tikka.
I just want to know, what's the best 22 rifle "accuracy wise", for under $1200?
Bergara b14r
Thank you, great work by the way, on all your videos, I love your channel.
Will the steel barrel version suffice?
@@philbiagi721 yea for sure i'd actually prefer it for a little extra weight carbon fiber just looks cooler lol
@@philbiagi721 glad you like them and thank you for watching!
Mine love cci standard anything past 1260 mine dont like past 30 yards
yea all of my 22s shoot cci well which i'm glad because i have like 4k of it
I got 10 thousand rounds lol over did it last order but well worth the price
@@ericlafrance6350 you can NEVER have too much standard velocity lolol
@@ericlafrance6350 yes it sure is.
Up and down velocity deviation. Left to right that's either wind or you.
you're a genius
@@coreyd1474 You said you didn't know what was causing it, so there you go.
DID YOU SEE A DIFFERENCE IN GROUP SIZE AFTER REPLACING THE STOCK WITH THE BRAVO CHASSIS?
Didn't fire it a single time with the factory stock. Took it out of the box, pulled if off and put it right in the bravo
@@coreyd1474 ok cool, I will be picking mine up in about 15 days, I will shoot it factory for now to see how it will do, then I will see about getting the chassis. Thanks for the reply.
@@Plainsimple67 you'll have to let me know how it shoots I'm curious
@@coreyd1474 I will, not too many people post THEIR GROUPS on CZcams, or make an extensive testing like you have. I use to shoot .22 local benchrest matches, I still have all my .22's I have some very rare 22 European rifle collection. Maybe one day I will post my own video of my results. I have sone great .22 match bullets from 10 to years ago. I will use the Eley and my wolf fist, then maybe open the case of my Lapua match . Having all those rifles, I am so excited about this one. I might get THE CHASSIS because i have other Tikka SHORT ACTION t3's that I can use the same chassis for.i have the early 1997 model tikka 595 MASTER SPORTER IN .308 AND THE SAME EXACT ONE IN .22, THOSE ARE SUCH GREAT RIFLES AND SHOOT SO WELL.
@@coreyd1474 I will for sure, unfortunately I can't pick it up for another 15 days.
You have a zoo in the background. Sort of like me. When I think I have quiet time, nope. I have a noisy wife
always something.
I wonder after shooting so many brands and getting very similar results you haven’t come to the conclusion that that is probably the best that Rifle can deliver it’s not the ammo
yep thats pretty much what i've read and tell people when they ask. a good rifle will shoot most ammo "well." which this one does, obviously center-x is much better than cheap stuff but you get the point.
@@coreyd1474 no,my rpr with most 1050 vol shoots better than your center x.cci standard vol is good enough for matches.but lapua pistol king is the best i've shot.and the tikka is more acurate than the rpr.wish it would have failure to eject i would stay with it .
i looked 5 times behind my back during the video ... background noise
working on my studio now so you won't be inconvenienced anymore LOL
