Tikka T1x UPR .17 HMR 20in Threaded 10rd Desert Sand

The Tikka T1x UPR .17 HMR 20in Threaded 10rd Desert Sand is a factory-built rimfire precision rifle that takes the T1x action and wraps it in a rigid, adjustable stock designed for consistent accuracy at range. Chambered in .17 HMR with a 20-inch threaded barrel and 10-round detachable magazine, this rifle delivers sub-MOA performance out of the box for varmint control, small-game hunting, and steel-ringing at 200 yards. The desert-sand synthetic stock includes an adjustable cheekpiece and length-of-pull spacers, plus carbon-fiber bedding surfaces that lock the action in place. Right-hand configured, lightweight at roughly 6.5 pounds, and threaded 1/2×28 for a suppressor or brake — this is a rimfire that doesn’t cut corners.

Key Features

• Carbon-Fiber Bedded Stock: The fiberglass-reinforced stock includes carbon-fiber bedding surfaces that mate the action to the stock with zero flex. Why it matters: This eliminates point-of-impact shift from stock torque or temperature changes, keeping your groups tight round after round.
• Adjustable Cheekpiece and LOP: The stock offers a fully adjustable cheekpiece and multiple length-of-pull spacers. Why it matters: You can dial in a perfect cheek weld and eye relief for any optic, which is critical for consistent sub-MOA shooting at distance.
• 20-Inch Threaded Barrel: Cold-hammer-forged steel barrel with a 1/2×28 threaded muzzle and factory-installed thread protector. Why it matters: A longer barrel maximizes .17 HMR velocity (approx. 2,550 fps with 20-grain loads), and threading lets you run a suppressor or brake without a gunsmith.
• 10-Round Detachable Magazine: Steel-reinforced polymer magazine with a smooth, positive latch. Why it matters: Faster reloads for varmint strings or training drills, and the 10-round capacity keeps you shooting longer between mag changes.
• Rough-Texture Grip Surfaces: The stock has aggressive texturing on the fore-end and pistol grip. Why it matters: You maintain control in wet, muddy, or gloved conditions — no slip when you’re lining up a 150-yard shot on a prairie dog.

Who It’s For

This rifle is for the precision rimfire shooter who wants a factory-ready platform that shoots better than most custom builds. It fits varmint hunters who need a lightweight, suppressor-ready .17 HMR for walking fields, and long-range trainers who want to practice wind-reading and positional shooting at 1/10th the cost of centerfire ammo. If you’re a right-handed shooter who values adjustable ergonomics and repeatable accuracy, the T1x UPR is a direct upgrade over box-stock rimfires.

Pros & Cons

• Pro: Sub-MOA accuracy guarantee from the factory with quality ammunition — verified by multiple reviewers with 5-shot groups under 0.75 MOA at 100 yards.
• Pro: Stock rigidity rivals custom chassis systems at half the price.
• Pro: Threaded barrel and 10-round mag make it ready for suppressor use and fast follow-ups.
• Con: The desert sand color is not available in other stock colors — no black or green option from the factory. If you need a different color, you’ll have to buy an aftermarket stock.
