Tikka makes a quality rifle, hopefully this will be another.

So I got a new Tikka T1X a few days ago, on sale for $429, after listening to Talionis rave about his. Added a Vortex Diamondback HP 4-12 scope yesterday, and got it to the range today. Took a few clicks to get it zeroed, then my wife and I shot it at 50 yards, five shots each, with CCI standard velocity ammo. This is what we got.
Trigger seemed a bit heavy, so when we got home, I pulled it out of the stock, and with a 2.5 Allen turned the adjustment counterclockwise to bring the trigger weight down to just over 2 pounds. Threaded barrel, but I didn’t get a chance to attach the suppressor. Seems a great general purpose .22 rifle!
Likes pretty much everything in every caliber.
So, I was thinking about maybe reducing the number of CZ rimfire rifles I have. Checked T1X pricing, and found that the 16.5-inch threaded barrel versions have been available in the US for a couple months now. It's longer than that since I last looked, apparently. Not stainless, but I may compromise. They all seem to be at MAP pricing, at least for now. Will probably get rid of three or so rarely-shot but fun and interesting CZs, then lurk for a favorable price on the Tikka on some holiday sales.

Not another dime.
Very opportune timing. I have one of these, and thought it would be the be all and end all of practical .22 bolt rifles. Unfortunately, when I work the bolt vigorously, it has stoppages. My CZ .22 bolts do not. I spoke to Talionis and he is experiencing the same, so it makes me wonder if it is a model problem. Anyone else have one?

You guys need a Vudoo
My friend just bought one for his wife. With Center X she shoot some .2" groups at 50 yards.
Bergera has introduced something similar but I have not had a chance to shoot one yet. The cool part is that they are a Remington 700 pattern action so you can put all kinds of different triggers, stocks, etc on them.

I was making first round hits on steel at 320 yards yesterday evening with my T1x. 16.3 mils of elevation.
$650 for the Bergara 22LR barreled action
It's not going to be a Vudoo but it's a step up from the other stuff on the market.
