Would love to see a review between the Cz 457 and Tikka t1x. I guarantee it would get many views too!

[@petermiller8634]

Another honest & informative review thanks Ozzie. As for those that rubbish the 17 hmr, it is brilliant for small game at longer distances & far outshines the 22 wmr for accuracy & range in calm conditions. I have heard that 17hmr ammo made today is not as good as it was initially ( less precision) but unsure if this is true. Keep up the great reviews please Ozzie.

[@petermiller8634]

Love your honest reviews Ozzy. Keep ‘em coming please.

[@HemiOrange]

I bought a T3x Hunter in 30-06 at the beginning of November 2019. The only mod I did was glass bedding it. I went to the range and sited it in on Friday November 15th and got a whitetail buck the day after. It is extremely accurate. I'm looking at the T1x in 17HMR for wolves and coyotes. I'm hoping the T1x is as good as my T3x. Can't wait! Good review, really like your videos!

[@joshpittman6021]

The fact that 17hmr is so inconsistent on a chronograph these are very good results! Great shooting great review thank you sir.

[@ozziereviews]

JOSH Pittman I’m not a fan of the caliber myself, I’d prefer a 22mag

[@SpaghettiFPV-tg3qh]

True ozzie 17 hmr is rubbish

[@joshpittman6021]

In the rifle market or at least here in the United States everybody wants the biggest fastest thing out. Just because it’s new and faster doesn’t mean it’s more efficient and accurate. The 17hmr is a decent caliber for what it is but it will not do anything the 22mag can’t do better.

[@SpaghettiFPV-tg3qh]

@@joshpittman6021 My issue josh with it is the light pills they dump the speed and energy so damn quick its not funny

[@Aaron.13]

So it wouldn't be more accurate or have less drop @ 100m..Theres 2 areas it's already better than a magnum..not to mention accuracy at any distance in between..Dont get me wrong as i have a magnum now but i'm about to swap it for a 17hmr..

Ozzie I just got my 17hmr yes had to wait 8 months but well worth it, The point am making is that you do get the 17hmr in a 16" barrel as my one is, All the best Alan from the north of Scotland.

[@andrewmoroney2827]

Hello. Thanks for your review, I really enjoyed it, as did I also enjoy your review of the Tikka T3x Tac A1... As you have experienced both, I was wondering what your thoughts would be on a rifle with with T1x action mounted in the T3x Tac A1 chassis? I ask because I have recently got my licence and am about to purchase my first rifle. I don't want to start with the t3x as I anticipate I will need to send many, many rounds downrange each visit to the range for the first 12-24 months while I learn to shoot and hone my skills, and 22lr ammo is far cheaper. Plus with far less power I thought it may be good to work on learning about wind and reading wind at long distances for a 22 ie 300m? I thought Tikka 22 in the T3x Tac A1 chassis would let me get used to the ergonomics, the trigger etc, and when ready I can swap the action to something like a 308 or 6.5mm. Once I move past the 22 I can put its action into a cheaper chassis so it doesn't go to waste. I'd really appreciate your thoughts on this. Thankyou

[@ivanivanov-nf9kp]

Tikka T1x or Sako quad 17 hmr - Which is better ?

[@mississippimotorsports3286]

I’ve been doing a lot of testing with my .17 savage 93… I’ve found that barrel temp and bore dirtyness has had a pretty big affect on accuracy. If you are shooting 10 round groups it’s really not an accurate test for the ammo’s even with the .17 the barrel gets hot and dirty fast. Clean cold bore for each ammo and 5 shot groups would be a more a accurate test to see what ammo performs the best out of that gun.

[@FineArtsTeacher]

Nice review!- chances are the shop took the second mag out from your box and they will sell it separately to someone else (even though its yours). See this type of nonsense before in Ireland. One shop tried sold me a mag and it turned out to be second hand when I checked it sitting in my car. I returned it immediately and they change it for a brand new one but it was obviously out of a boxed rifle as it loose-wasn't in a proper package.

[@jyetraval6722]

Yeah I had trouble looking for a break for my tikka couldn’t find the specs anywhere

I like the Lithgow, but the weight was a little heavy for my liking. I’ve got a Savage 93 in SS Varmint in .22wmr and the weight is ridiculous!

I would....over the lithgow any day

Could be handy to see what the .22lr shoots like.

[@BruceWaldbauer]

I’ll give my 2 cents worth . I have a mtr 22 with the factory stock . Between me and friends approx 5000 rounds plus . I get .4-.8” at 50 yards with cci blazer ammo (40 grain ) in a breeze 0-4mph consistently (5 shot groups) Little better with hp mini mags . Minute of gopher at 140 yards if I step up . Pretty good for a shaky coffee driven 58 year old .

I just bought one of these and put a leupold 3-9 rimfire scope on it bought it for rabbits and grouse gonna try the 20 grain xtp first

[@cheynehosking4143]

Hi there Ozzie. Ive been shooting the 17HMR for years and am happy for several reasons. My question...I'm wondering if you used a quick run through of a bore snake or some kind of clean between all your testing and comparison of ammo? I find my 17HMR likes the CCI but will get dirty pretty quick, so Im meticulous for cleaning as every little bit improves accuracy. Any thoughts?

[@kevinryan2626]

Cheyne Hosking I’m seriously thinking about getting a 17HMR, at what range would you shoot foxes ? I’m thinking out too 120 yards ?

[@regsparkes6507]

My question to you Ozzie, and I realize that this may be 'unfair' to ask you, BUT, which rifle would you prefer the Lithgow LA101 or this TikkaT1x MTR. By the way,..this is a great video,..thanks for showing this one.

[@jamiem5364]

I would guess it depends if u want a heavy or light rifle, from what i can tell the Tikka will be far lighter as the Lithgow is quite heavy. My mate has the LA101 which is great but for a rimfire its quite heavy!

[@regsparkes6507]

Yes Jamie, of course weight is perhaps , a concern, but my Savage Mark II BSEV with scope tips the scales at some 8 pounds plus. I just use my rifles for target shooting and plinking,... I'm just looking for quality differences ( if any ) in the Lithgow versus the Tikka.

[@ozziereviews]

I haven’t used the 17hmr in the Lithgow but I have used the 22mag and it’s definitely heavier than the Tikka. So it depends on what your use is, range or hunting or both? Tikka is suited for both and so is the Lithgow but the Lithgow is heavier. Accuracy wise I don’t know which is better as I haven’t used the Lithgow in 17hmr

[@regsparkes6507]

SO it would seem that weight is the biggest difference and it will be a consideration in my decision to purchase. Thanks for this.

[@ozziereviews]

Reg Sparkes I think so Reg, I have only seen results of the Lithgow 17hmr sent to me by fans of the channel and the results were very tight so not sure if the Tikka is better or worse without having them side by side on the same day with the same Ammo and same optic

[@harveypinsk]

I really would like to see it on a Tikka A1 chassis

[@Fubar684]

Enjoyed your review, Sir. If you could compare this rifle to a CZ455, I'd like to hear your opinion.

[@ozziereviews]

I like the Tikka, although CZ make good rifles too as most people know. I just like the finish of the Tikka that bit better...

[@joshtalbot1086]

I have both and the cz it leaps and bounds better of a deal. Nicer action, better fit and finish and a nice peace of wood instead of hollow plastic. No plastic on a 455/452

[@Buzz7744]

Josh Talbot well I also have both and the T1X has a way better trigger and smoother bolt action. So if you really do have a Tikka also you would know there is no comparison

[@jacksoncarter5796]

Did you sight it in with a particular round and then each other brand do you always aim at center of target or after your first shot do you just aim at that shot

[@MrSweaterman76]

Love your reviews, thank you... overall question: if I can only get one; get 22 mag or 17 hmr?

[@seamac7966]

It have to be .17HMR as they don’t make a .22 Mag version.

[@Top-Jimmy]

Another great review Cheers Ozzie! - Mate, Are the "Bunny Buster" bundles still available do you know? Also, whats that scope like? Cheers cob

[@barrydavis7919]

Good review Ozzie... I’ve been waiting for the arrival of the T1X. I have a PTA sitting at Cleavers for a .22lr and want to know from you what your thoughts are on barrel length. I read somewhere that the 16” barrel is best for a .22lr... is that correct? I’m going to take off my Eliminator 2 off my T3 .243 and replace it, to put it on the T1X. Look forward to reading your thoughts. Thanks 😎

[@dheebb3537]

The 16" vs 20" barrel differences are gun handling and noise. The velocity difference is neglible but the shorter barrel is noticeably louder without earpro. If you like the shorter barrel for handling purposes go with it. Just my opinions, cheers

[@ozziereviews]

Barry Davis it’s up to your preference, accuracy should be about the same regardless of which barrel length you get in the Tikka but as someone else has already mentioned the noise will be a little more with the shorter barrel

[@peterbrazier1886]

why didn't you try .17grn cci polymer tip ,they are the most accurate in my rifle

[@lmbear]

Why is it all the Tikka T1x videos show some sort of feeding issue with these rifles? Did Tikka engineers fall asleep at the wheel?

[@rons7354]

Great review. Can you please tell me what is the length of pull on this rifle? It looks exactly like the T3X compact stock. Also did it come with the "accessory" spacers? Thanks

[@MinhVu-in9iz]

Really? There’s no spacer, only the tac A1, that comes with spacer. The package deal comes with everything shown in the video or just get the rifle, which only comes with one mag.

Finally -- nice to see a review on this rifle. I would expect the groups to tighten up a bit after you put a few hundred rounds down the pipe. Did you clean before shooting? AND, I may have missed it, but I did not hear anything about the the trigger. Was it light, heavy, crisp, creepy? Any comment you could give us on the trigger would be appreciated.

[@SpaghettiFPV-tg3qh]

@@dunk4373 We are talking about 17's arent we lol Sure hmr is a rimfire and rem is a centrefire but its the same calibre. What im saying is those light pills arent any good unless they are doing rem speeds because they are too light they dump the energy so damn quick. And yeah it is a big dif, some 900 pound at the muzzle compared to roughly 220 or 240. But by 200m the little hmr has all but lost its balls. I really never saw the sense in it, it makes sense out to 100m or 150m but a .22 can do that as well and with more options. It is what it is but it was never something i was attracted to. As you can see haha

[@dunk4373]

Jai B well honestly .. How far out are you trying to shoot with that tiny 17 pill ? Anything more than 200 yards with a well placed head shot and your not really starting to be an ethical hunter.. for up to 200 yards I will confendently use my wsm all day all night... it’s cheaper than even reloading for the 17 rem and certainly has a better life span on the barrel . I’d own a 222 or (223 which I do own ) before the 17 rem any day of the week. So in sticking with the original persons post statement .... Yes I would have an WSM over the HMR RIMFIRE any day !

[@mouseaustralia8963]

G'day mate👍🏻 I was just wondering, when you changed the stocks around. What did you do with the piece of plastic that wedges in between the barrel and stock? Can you remove the plastic plate and have a free float barrel? Regards Jim
