Shot these 4 -10 shot groups with my T1X at 50 yards - 36x scope - bipod - is this typical accuracy for this set-up and ammo ?
Tikka T1X - CCI-SV 10 Shot Groups

Yeah, I'd say that's about right with a good lot of CCI SV. That ammo is a good standard velocity plinking ammo, but far from being match ammo.
At 50 yards, the best bulk ammo I've found for my setup is Federal Auto Match.
These days, I'd say the best ammo you can get that isn't insanely priced is SK Standard Plus, even that runs $90 a brick. I've had some very good luck with SK Semi Auto, but that has been very lot dependent and the time and money spent lot testing eats up the savings.
Check out Whidden Gunworks. You can order a lot of the ammo they sell by lot number.

Yes. I used several cases of CCISV in my T1X. An average of 44 (10)shot groups at 100 yds was 1.77” Center to Center. At 200 the vertical stringing was brutal, 8”-9” over 10 shots. The “groups” would be 2” wide. I practiced on paper at 100. When my positional groups got small enough to be close to my bench groups, I upgraded ammo to SK S+ and SKRM. Until then, use CCISV to practice, unless you are only doing BR.
If you really want to see what you can do with your setup, you're not going to find out shooting groups. What I do is use an ARA50 target, or something similar, and shoot it for score. To shoot a perfect score on that card, you essentially need your setup to shoot about MOA for a 25 round string.
Although the groups posted above are actually pretty good, what I see is a shift in the point of impact and the composite of those groups is going to be a lot larger than the worst individual group.
I want a T1x. It appears that the one you have is showing a lot of promise. How's the action? Is it slick or kind of clunky?
