    Tikka T1X

    Jealous. I was approaching a one in ten failure rate at one point. I've tried hard, soft, medium, etc. with no change. I think that I'm over 1000 rounds now. About 350 since bending my ejector with only 2-3 FTEs. I wish they'd sell the ejector separately from the magwell assembly. It's a...

    Tikka T1X

    I've read all 51 pages so now I can comment. Learned a lot. I hadn't been to the range for awhile but at some point this summer I made it out and noticed a flyer for NRL22. I'd always wanted to do something like that so started researching it a bit (a lot). I had bike race commitments that...

    New T1X Feed issues?

    I made a similar bend last night and repositioned the magwell a bit. Went to the range on the way home from work and shot 95 rounds with only one FTE so that's a big improvement. It doesn't seem to feed quite as smooth now but I didn't have any actual FTF.

    New T1X Feed issues?

    Oops, just realized that I still had the wind added in with Strelok. If I zero the wind it's telling me 7.5MRAD for 203 yards.

    New T1X Feed issues?

    What's your elevation? I'm at 5,000ft. I'm going to try to get back this afternoon. I'll try 203 again.

    New T1X Feed issues?

    Scope height 1.66" 50 yard zero BC - 0.123 MV - 1070 2.0 @ 100 (verified) 7.1 @ 203 (according to Strelok don't have personal data yet). I shot at exactly 203 last night but had a 30 mph tailwind so I was high with a 7.1MRAD correction. Had to take out a few clicks. I got my BC from...

    New T1X Feed issues?

    My favorite thing about the CCI SV and Green Tag is that in my rifle the ballistics exactly match what Strelok says from 25 to 100 yards. With the other ammo I've shot it has been off by a couple clicks. Shot 150 rounds of SV tonight. Had 3 FTE and my first ever FTF.

    New T1X Feed issues?

    I haven't been able to make any changes based on how hard I pull the bolt. What were your conclusions on the Green Tag vs SV? I've been shooting both of them a bunch and haven't convinced myself one way or the other.

    New T1X Feed issues?

    Thanks, that helps. I'll try that tomorrow. I did a bit of tweaking last night and then went to the range tonight. Still had 4 FTEs with around 100 rounds. I've tried pulling the bolt harder and softer with no change in failure rate. I wish the ejector was available separately from Tikka so...

    New T1X Feed issues?

    What sort of trial an error did you do to sort the FTE issues? I'm also convinced that it is the wire ejector that is the issue on mine. Three weeks ago I picked up a new T1X in 22LR so that my son and I could shoot NRL22 with it. The first 100 rounds or so were flawless but it has steadily...

    How old when you first broke 1000 yds?

    Hopefully age 35. That means I have until February. I've shot various types of rifles my entire life but hadn't attempted any sort of long range precision until a friend took me with him to shoot his AI PSR. We shot out to 835 that day. I came home and immediately began shopping for a rifle...

    .22 LR ammo is back to normal

    Still can't find it easily in my area. The local Sportsman's Warehouse gets shipments here and there. They open at 0900 and generally any 22LR ammo that they got is gone by 1000. Today they got a lot larger shipment and still had some at 1230 but they're limiting it to a brick per person and...

    Rifle Scopes FFP and illumination

    When I bought my scope I had the salesman go outside with me so that I could evaluate better than just looking across the room. Go in the late evening as the sun is setting and see what you think.

    Rifle Scopes Vortex Viper PST 6-24x50 FFP EBR-2C Unboxing

    No problem. After getting it home this evening I waited until 30-45 min after sunset and went out to the woods behind my house. I was really impressed with how much light was coming through. It would certainly be more than adequate in all legal hunting hours. I really like the EBR-2C...

    Rifle Scopes Vortex Viper PST 6-24x50 FFP EBR-2C Unboxing

    I just unboxed mine about an hour ago. You can get the full 10 mil on the reticle up to about 16x. 8 mils is visible up to around 21x.

    Rifle Scopes FFP and illumination

    I've owned a Vortex 6-24x50 FFP with EBR-2C reticle for about an hour now. At low mag the reticle is definitely VERY fine and I think will be difficult to see under low contrast conditions without the illumination. If it didn't have the illumination I wouldn't have purchased it.

    KRG Whiskey 3 Chassis-Let's See Them

    Is someone from Sweden allowed to put "Norweigian" paint on their rifle? ;)

    KRG Whiskey 3 Chassis-Let's See Them

    A lot of great inspiration here. I'm waiting on a Whiskey 3 build right now. Lane Precision is building it for me but can't decide what colors to coat/paint it. Can't wait to get my hands on it.
