Nothing so needs reforming as other people's habits - Mark Twain
Tact is the knack of making a point without making an enemy / Where is the wisdom we have lost in knowledge?
There is a lot of discussion at rimfirecentral.com and an 80+ page thread over on the Hide. So I'll probably be digesting those to see what I can learn about feeding issues and fixes before dropping half a G on this thing.

Keep us updated. I’ve been leaving towards a T1x in a KRG Bravo but an open to other ideas.
My last rimfire bolt gun was a T1x in 22lr. I put it in a Bravo with a Sterk swept bolt handle. The gun shoots remarkably well for a factory gun. No problems running it hard. I shoot it a bunch at "long range" rimfire steel. I do shoot better quality rimfire ammo through it though.
Well, I spent about an hour reading with virtually zero actionable intelligence acquired.
From what I did gather, there's a loose consensus that feeding issues seem to be related to the ejector wire and how it is shaped. Like it interferes with the rise of the top round as the round moves forward. So people bend it, and if you look at ten different rifles where people have done something to it and are OK with the results, you are likely to see 8-12 different versions of "how to bend it."
It reminded me how much the great dempanic selloff is making me happy that along with the hardware go to-do lists consisting mostly of fiddle-frackery that I'm not really interested in doing. Solidified my thinking that I ought to sell the excess .22s and put a case or two through each of the remaining ones before buying another.

I've now had two range sessions with my new T1x. Mine is setup for precision rimfire competition in a KRG Bravo chassis and Vortex PST2 5-25. The barrel looks really skinny in the KRG's massive barrel channel, but it still seems to shoot great. I've only taken it out to 200 yards so far, but it seems to shoot Lapua Midas+, CenterX, SK Match, and Federal UM well with a slight edge to Midas+ (all 50 yard groups with Midas+ were around or under .5" with the best under .25"). Haven't had the feeding issues mentioned here yet, but I'll certainly keep an eye on it.
