Throw it in a lightweight tactical stock and start with off-hand practice in the garden. Handling & ergonomics will be the same as on my hunting rifles. The only reason I don't shoot 22's is because the stocks on my CZ's and scope height are all wrong, for me at least. Bit of ammo/load testing and off we go... edi So a couple of grand will make it a good rifle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No Open sights that foul with the scope bell, the bolt will in all likelihood clear a scope much better leading to a lower mounted scope. Trigger out the box much better.... and I can just drop it into my favourite T3 hunting or target stock and have a great trainer set-up. That is worth something to me. The CZ's will have to go, hardly use em anyway. edi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew Posted October 12, 2018 Report Share Posted October 12, 2018 Sounds nice. I have a 3-9x42 Zeiss already salted away for mine. I have Burris 11mm rings on hand but might opt for the UTG 11mm to Weaver adapters and some Low Burris Z-Rings. I picked up one of the new MagPul bipods. Might mount that on the accessory beavertail foreend.~Andrew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ejg223 Posted October 13, 2018 Report Share Posted October 13, 2018 Depends on the stock. The one we fitted needed nothing done and it was a factory bedded aftermarket stock.. Which part on your stock needed re-working? edi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
outlanda Posted October 13, 2018 Report Share Posted October 13, 2018 The mag well didn't fit - slight mod required and easy fix. Also no barrel support lug in aftermarket t3 so will be free floating? And more gap where a thinner t1x barrel enters the receiver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ejg223 Posted October 13, 2018 Report Share Posted October 13, 2018 Thanks, I was guessing it could only be the mag well. Our stocks have a bit more room there. edi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Posted October 13, 2018 Report Share Posted October 13, 2018 I watched at least one vid where the owner dropped his T1X into his CF Tikka T3 (factory) stock with no issues whatsoever. ~Andrew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
outlanda Posted October 13, 2018 Report Share Posted October 13, 2018 Well there's every possibility that these 2 boyds stocks are inletted wrong for T3 then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Posted October 13, 2018 Report Share Posted October 13, 2018 I have seldom had a Boyds that did not need some tweaking. I have come to expect it. Almost every stock they sell has the warning that 'some minor fitting required'. This is a quote from Boyds site regarding whether a stock from them requires fitting: " However, due to variations in manufacturing, production processes and tolerances, some minor adjustments may be needed to achieve that perfect fit. Please consult a competent and qualified gunsmith if you need assistance." It doesn't make Boyds a bad stock. They are just trying to make a price point. ~Andrew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
outlanda Posted October 13, 2018 Report Share Posted October 13, 2018 This piece of plastic in the factory t1x tuppaware fills the gap around the slimmer barrel and the barrel rests on it so must be a reason. How would you deal with this in aftermarket t3 stock? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ejg223 Posted October 13, 2018 Report Share Posted October 13, 2018 I didn't see that part yet. Rifle will shoot the same if you toss that in the bin... meaning in aftermarket stocks it just won't be there...no harm. It is only a feature to satisfy the " narrow barrel channel gap = good rifle" In theory it would shoot just as well if you saw off the stock 5mm behind the recoil lug... edi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirksdonuts Posted October 17, 2018 Report Share Posted October 17, 2018 At long last just picked mine up 16" barrel Saturday will be set up time with a new Moderator etc Stock looks cheap but hey the rifle was cheap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Posted October 17, 2018 Report Share Posted October 17, 2018 What is a cheap looking synthetic stock? All non wood factory stocks look the same to me, be they Tikka, Remington, Ruger or otherwise. Let us know how it shoots, you lucky dog.~Andrew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew Posted October 28, 2018 Report Share Posted October 28, 2018 I stopped into the shop I bought my T1X from yesterday and spoke to the gun department manager. Another dose of gibberish culminating in a shrug of the shoulders when asked when Beretta will ship the T1X. I'd really like to shoot it before it gets to -25F! ~Andrew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you shot it yet???~Andrew Hi Guys Sorry for the delay in posting the updates The rifle was fitted with a Hawke scope, SAK moderator and Harris bi-pod the zeroing in was straight forward and it handles well. I have made it a bit too top heavy but off the bi-pod it shoots really well. The groupings at 100metres was consistent at around 5mm-8mm. I think this can be bettered by making the trigger pull a little more delicate. It is set so heavy, but I am led to believe that this is an easy tweak.
