Tikka T1x — .17 HMR, 5-Round, Black Polymer Stock (S545209356 | UPC 082442950259)

Small-game precision with big-rifle manners. The Tikka T1x in .17 HMR delivers match-like consistency, smooth cycling, and a rugged black polymer stock—making it a standout rimfire for varmint control, steel practice, and youth or new-shooter training. This configuration ships with a detachable 5-round magazine, and keeps the classic, confidence-inspiring Tikka feel in a compact rimfire package that’s easy to carry and simple to shoot well.

Why the Tikka T1x in .17 HMR Stands Out

• Flatter Rimfire Ballistics: The .17 HMR pushes light, high-velocity bullets with flat trajectories and pinpoint accuracy—perfect for prairie dogs, ground squirrels, crows, and precision plinking at extended rimfire ranges.

• Tikka Smoothness: Expect the refined bolt throw, crisp single-stage trigger, and repeatable lockup that Tikka is known for—so your practice reps translate to your centerfire hunting rifle.

• Weather-Ready Stock: The black polymer stock is light, stable, and low-maintenance. It shrugs off dust, rain, and temperature swings while keeping your point of impact predictable.

• Optics-Friendly Receiver: Ready for glass—mount your preferred scope using compatible bases/rails (dovetail/rail style varies by batch; verify with your dealer).

• Reliable Feeding & Ejection: A detachable box magazine (5-rd) and smart feed geometry keep the shooting flow clean and consistent.

Real-World Performance (Not Just Paper)

The .17 HMR is famed for laser-like flight and minimal recoil. You’ll spot hits and misses instantly and make fast corrections in the wind. Pair the T1x with a 9–12x or 3–15x optic and quality ammunition and you’ll be ringing small targets at distances that challenge .22 LR—while still enjoying the light handling and low report that rimfire shooters love.

Ideal Uses

• Varmint & Pest Control: Flat-shooting .17 HMR aids precise head/heart shots on small targets when windows are narrow.

• Steel & Skill Building: Practice holds, trigger control, and wind calls for pennies on the dollar compared to centerfire.

• Youth & New Shooters: Near-zero recoil and a clean trigger make good habits come naturally.

• Truck/Property Rifle: Durable polymer stock, easy handling, and rimfire convenience.

Setup Tips for Best Results

1. Optic Selection: A 2–10x, 3–12x, or 4–16x scope is ideal. Choose a fine reticle with useful subtensions for precise holds in the wind.

2. Mounting: Use quality rings/bases that match the receiver’s interface; torque to spec and witness-mark screws to monitor movement after travel.

3. Ammo Vetting: Test several .17 HMR loads; many rifles prefer specific bullet weights or tips. Record velocities and verify your dope at distance.

4. Support Gear: A light bipod and a rear bag stabilize prone/bench work without adding much bulk.

5. Maintenance: Keep the chamber clean, lightly lube contact points, and check action screw torque periodically for best groups.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is .17 HMR better than .22 LR or .22 WMR?
It depends on your use. .17 HMR flies flatter and bucks wind better than .22 LR, and offers tighter groups than many .22 WMR loads—great for small varmints and precision at longer rimfire ranges.

What’s the magazine type?
A detachable 5-round box magazine is included with this model, designed for smooth feeding and easy top-offs.

Is the barrel threaded?
Some T1x variants are threaded; thread pitch and included caps/brakes vary. Confirm threading on S545209356 if you plan to add a suppressor or muzzle device.

What bases do I need?
Receivers may ship with a dovetail that accepts ringmounts or with a rail in certain packages. Verify the mounting interface and MOA taper to match your optic.
