It took less than a week to become my favorite bolt action of all time. The accuracy and smoothness, complete with an absolutely outstanding trigger, were absolutely amazing. So much so that I kept the rifle, not something I normally do.

Nothing amazing there, though I remain a fan of .17HMR. It is the near perfect training round, and cheap enough to shoot every day if you have the time. What is different here, the T1x was built for a grown man. It features stock spacers that adjust the fit for children as well, but out of the box, a full sized adult is ready to rock and roll.

Any stock or chassis that works for the T3X, will bolt right in the new 17HMR gun. So for short range or winter training, you are in for the price of a chassis. The trigger is also identical to the T3x, meaning user adjustable with a simple Allen key. The T3x trigger is my favorite all time, and it is going to be a winner in the rimfire world as well.<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"Tikka T1x: An usurper to the Rimfire Crown \u2014 SHOT Show 2018\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-86387\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Screen-Shot-2018-01-29-at-2.32.00-PM-1024x694.png\" alt=\"Tikka T1x: An usurper to the Rimfire Crown \u2014 SHOT Show 2018\" width=\"1024\" height=\"694\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Screen-Shot-2018-01-29-at-2.32.00-PM-1024x694.png 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Screen-Shot-2018-01-29-at-2.32.00-PM-150x102.png 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Screen-Shot-2018-01-29-at-2.32.00-PM-400x271.png 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Screen-Shot-2018-01-29-at-2.32.00-PM-768x521.png 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Screen-Shot-2018-01-29-at-2.32.00-PM.png 1416w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>If you shoot PRS or any other bolt action rifle game, Tikka just dominated the field.
