T1x ACE in Hand - Review - Pictures - Info - Thoughts

Shot another match this past weekend and rifle performed great, I'm definitely putting the poor performance at the last match down to ammo.

I had a chance to shoot/play with a few other chassis (ACC Gen2, MPA Matrix, Vision Pro) the Tikka chassis definitely feels a bit cheap compared to these other chassis, but I think it's just the use of plastic and the grip that does that.

Performance wise the ACE chassis really doesn't have any major downsides, I think they've intentionally made it as light weight as possible which inevitably makes it feel less solid.

I think I stick by my original thoughts that you'd be better off buying a T1x MTR and a ACC Gen2 rather than the ACE, unless you want a lightweight chassis 22lr.
I've compared the ACE chassis to my T1x Bravo and I definitely like the ACE more, so it's not like I think the ACE is bad at all.


On a side note, the Vision Pro is a seriously nice chassis. I would definitely consider one of those in the future.

CS Tactical Legit?

I didn't even know what the bear pit was. Now I know how to conduct myself here. I'll be seeing you boys around.
Friendly advice. Read this thread in its entirety.
Laugh, learn, have fun. You have handled it well so far.

Schmidt And Bender repair

Yeah, not having somebody available to do basic service items in the state is going to be a problem.

I recently saw a 6–36 class review by area 419 and to my surprise, they did not have a Schmidt and bender scope in that lineup they were reviewing.

My very first thought was: you’re actually not gonna include one of the best scopes on the market in your review? Seriously??

However, I wonder if that was a purposeful slight because Schmidt hasn’t been as innovative as some of the other folks?

I do wonder how things will change during the summer when the patent expires that’s been preventing larger field of view in US sold scopes. However, if tariffs are involved, I think a lot of Europeans are gonna have a hard time selling their products. I honestly don’t know who sells a completely US-made scope or if that even exists at this point.
Not much of a review, but I returned mine. Just couldn’t get past the limited FOV, or rather the thick black nothingness around the image where it was constricted. Staw-like viewing experience. Also the eye box was a bit tight. Felt like a downgrade in overall performance from what I was used to. Patiently waiting for them to release the Euro version because I really loved everything else about it.

FL is getting dangerous

indeed. gotta say i see why in some ways. played in a few bridge tourneys there and in Sarasota. has been about 5-6 years though. you have never seen as many really good looking women > 60 yo. if you are 50 or less no appeal but if > 60 different story. those all were dressed and jeweled high end and obviously had serious resources from some place. likely some time in an OR as well.
but the villages has had the VD prize in US on several occasions.

FL is getting dangerous

when i left Tampa in '88 Sumter Co was considered the white trash capital of central FL by many in Alachua,Lake and Marion. the villages has kept it the fastest growing county in the country for > 10 years. Marion has been #1 as well. villages is a hard to believe development when you see it.
The Villages is a place I’ve very much avoided. It is the hilarious modern version of sodom and gamora. VD capital here in these parts.
