You guys are right on. I am in the same dilemma. Have a cz 455 Cut and threaded 17hmr barrel (plus a nib spare 17hmr barrel varmint contour, 22lr sporter barrel NIB plus magazine and block) KKC stock pillar bedded and epoxy bedded enlarged badger bolt knob DIP picatinny(sp?) scope rail DIP trigger shoe (makes it feel better to me). All I need is a Yo dave trigger mod + DIP sear and a Whistle pig lightweight .22lr barrel. 2 things I don't like about the CZ 1. Safety - I am used to it but it still bugs the hell out of me. 2. Smoothness of the action (compared to my Tikka t3, or my buddies Sako quad, etc...), It's about the same as my FIL's Ruger american rimfire but better than his Savage 17hmr. The question is do I spend 240.00 and upgrade the barrel and trigger and live with it's short comings or cut my losses and buy a Tikka T1x  
Maybe pick up a 2nd side hustle job to earn more money 
Such a great time to be into rimfires Would love Lithgow LA101 in either 22lr or 17hmr Tikka T1x in both .22lr and 17hmr VQ summit - just to test it against the old Summit from PWS Ruger Precision Rimfire - hope to see someone like Kidd make some barrels Anschuts 1727F - holy hell probably the best there is IMHO for speed and precision (some might shoot better but not faster) Voodoo (sp?) V-22 - undoubtedly the best precision trainer and it seems the accuracy is right there with Annies Probably a few I am missing but that would be a good start  Quote HistoryQuoted:

Totally agree. Completely nonsensical. The whole chassis craze was born of the fact that expectations for production rifles are in the toilet. They are little more than barreled actions after you toss the trigger and stock. Euro Optic is good people and they will meet advertised prices. Grabagun has some CRAZY low prices on Tikka T3xs, too, if you use the grab-a-quote feature. -Stooxie There is lots of hype about the T1x rimfire rifle, and I still haven't seen photos of targets. The price will be such that no one is likely to get burned. I'm disappointed in the wide sales of injection molded stocks now, I'd rather start with a bare action and barrel if that is the choice, but the price wouldn't shift down much. I've been contemplating whether to spend a pile of money on my CZ 455 by buying a new stock, a bolt handle, and a Lilja barrel. I already have a Mr. Fly trigger to install bought last weekend at our swap meet. I'm starting to think that is not a wise move, that's over $1000 including the trigger. I am in the same dilemma.

My CZ 455 has the .22 Magnum barrel installed, and it shoots Hornady ammunition great. I should probably leave it set up that way and find something else. I tried the bolt on a stainless Ruger American this afternoon at the Gander Outdoors store. The bolt felt good, and I like the magazines, but that cheap stock is a major turn off. |

The Ruger American stock is inexcusable. I have one in 556 and its flexible rubber band. The bolt is nice and the trigger is pretty good for a Ruger. The stock and thin barrels, though, are both inexcusable. The mags are pretty inexcusable as well.
I am considering selling it and getting a Tikka 223 but I can't quite push myself over the edge. At least the Ruger has a 556 chamber and threaded barrel. -Stooxie |

Is this the one that uses CZ mags?

Here is our video from SHOT. It discusses most of what's covered here, but shows the rifle more. We handled the rifle and it feels VERY nice! I've already filled them in on the 17WSM, so hopefully they look at that option in the future.

If there are any Beretta/SAKO/Tikka managers reading this, all y'all need to have your products ready to sell at the first of the year, or early December, with real reviews that demonstrate how the rifles shoot. Hype ain't worth a cent. The competitive shooting season in most of the US starts in late January or early February, and folks that want a new gun for the season need some time to sort it out first. They might even buy another one for Fall hunting season.
Don't wait on SHOT; get your publicity machine rolling to build excitement for the new guns with teasers, then show them off. With no bullshit targets. |

I put in an order with Eurooptic. $85 down, the rest when it arrives. They are super nice to work with. They will meet lower advertised pricing as well (when they can).

I'm in the same boat. Ordered the T1X 22 on Friday and also got the form 4 rolling. I'm stuck between the Leopold VX freedom rimfire and either of the Vortex rimfire scopes. Suggestions on what height rings for a 2x7-33 so I don't see the suppressor?

The lack of a single review that shows the accuracy of the rifle bothers me.

And the fact that Tikkas are renowned for their accuracy doesn't have anyone concerned that the T1x will be any different.

This was ent to all Whittaker's pre-order customers on 04/18->
"Whittaker Guns T1x Pre-Order Delivery Update Good afternoon everyone! We have just received an update on the expected delivery on the T1x’s. Unfortunately, they have been delayed “about a month.” The ATF held up the approval for the import permits for several weeks. The permits have now been issued and the inventory is inbound from Finland. It seems this was out of both Tikka and our control. I know many of you are very anxious to receive them, as we are to get them shipped out to you. Please know we will begin shipping the very day they hit our receiving dock. The new estimated ETA will be the end of May, beginning of June. I apologize for the delay! I will be in touch if/when there is more information to share. Thanks, Eric" Still patiently waiting. AndI think the wait will be worth it. Edited to add the date received |

Posting to give me something to do as we wait for our rifles->
The milled dovetail is 11mm, kind of odd or hard to source bases for. Ordered and received a new/old stock set of bases from Sako/Tikka for the 11mm dovetail. Already had the extra-low rings to fit the bases. Buy once-cry once I guess. Just need the rifle... |

I was getting ready to buy a Savage B17 FV-SR in June, hopefully this will be an option by then! I'd really prefer the 16in barrel but I can live with the extra 4in.

If they are interchangeable like the CZ 455's, I'm buying a 16" 22 barrel and a 17hmr barrel.
