Longshanx 833 Posted May 22, 2020 Report Share Posted May 22, 2020 (edited) I've got the T1X in 17 hmr with the 16" barrel, going to get a DTP mod for it soon. its a great feeling rifle, was contemplating the 22lr as well but my trusty CZ455 does the job just nicely for the moment Edited May 22, 2020 by Longshanx Quote Link to post

bumpy22 414 Posted May 22, 2020 Report Share Posted May 22, 2020 I have a t1x bought it when they first come out. You will not regret it. A guy I know cerakoated metal work and I put a laminate stock on it. Cracking little tool with pard 008 on top Quote Link to post
Squirrel_Basher 17,100 Posted May 22, 2020 Report Share Posted May 22, 2020 You have done the right thing John .Scrapped your old rifle for a tikka .Swear by them myself .Im wanting a 308 in tikka t3 lite but need to sell the Remington before hand .Will change the .22 for a tikka as well in time . Our force does a one for one same day but you must surrender one to a rfd before getting a letter to take to Devices HQ . Never had any trouble waiting for a one for one here in Wilts .Mate in Somerset has waited 3 months for a one for one due to this lockdown shite . Have to have a day out soon mate ,should be a shed coming up ,ill ring you . Quote Link to post

philpot 5,020 Posted May 25, 2020 Report Share Posted May 25, 2020 I also have the Tx1 with a 16'' barrel, a cracking little rifle although I fitted the alternative pistol grip and beavertail forend which collectively they off er a much better feel to the gun in my opinion. Hope you enjoy it, they seem to like RWS subs and Hornady HV ammo. Phil 5 Quote Link to post
shovel leaner 7,650 Posted May 28, 2020 Author Report Share Posted May 28, 2020 Well in spite of lockdown Gloucestershire police have got my variation processed and back to me today , bearing in mind that it was also a bank holiday this week . Also a 1:1 there is no charge. I have never had any issue with the FEOs they have always been quick and helpful. Three days is what they always seen to do for a variation. Giving the Seller a call now . Happy days 5 Quote Link to post
shovel leaner 7,650 Posted June 2, 2020 Author Report Share Posted June 2, 2020 (edited) Well here she is and I’m not disappointed. I kept my old mod and sling but I’ve added a cheap and cheerful Hawke 3x9x50 and it is shooting Winchester subs at 50 meters in a tight group . Good enough for me . I like the magazine which is easy to load and also the safety catch which is the same as my other rifles which helps . I can’t fault the trigger which some people adjust, but I’m happy with it as it is . A little trip around in the truck produced a squirrel and , and , erm a couple of erm what’s its . Damn , where’s my GL 36 book !!!! Edited June 2, 2020 by shovel leaner 2 7 Quote Link to post
