Tikka T1x 17 HMR 16″ Threaded Synthetic Rifle
$726.88
The Tikka T1x 17 HMR 16″ Threaded Synthetic Rifle delivers sub-MOA accuracy, a factory-threaded barrel, and an interchangeable pistol grip system in a lightweight 5.8-lb package. Perfect for varmint hunting, steel shooting, and NRL22 Base class.
The Tikka T1x 17 HMR 16″ Threaded Synthetic Rifle is a bolt-action rimfire built for precision varmint control and steel ringing at distance. Chambered in .17 HMR, this 16-inch threaded synthetic configuration delivers flat trajectories out to 250 yards while keeping the overall length compact enough for truck gun or walkabout use. Per Tikka’s specs, the single-stage trigger breaks clean at 2–4 lbs out of the box, and the modular stock accepts interchangeable pistol grips to dial in your hand position. If you want a rimfire that shoots like a centerfire without the recoil or the reloading cost, this is the platform.

Key Features
- 16″ Threaded Barrel – Allows direct attachment of a suppressor or muzzle brake without a gunsmith. Keeps the rifle handy while still stabilizing .17 HMR out past 200 yards.
- Interchangeable Pistol Grip System – Swap the grip to match your hand size and shooting style. This matters when you’re stacking shots on a prairie dog at 150 yards and need consistent trigger control.
- Single-Stage Adjustable Trigger – Factory trigger breaks clean with minimal overtravel. Dial it down to 2 lbs for bench work or keep it at 4 lbs for field carry. No aftermarket trigger needed for most shooters.
- Detachable Box Magazine – Reloads in seconds. The 8-round capacity gives you enough firepower for a string on steel without constant topping off.
- Modular Synthetic Stock – Resists weather and bumps. The fixed comb height works with low-to-medium rings, and the stock accepts recoil pad spacers for length-of-pull adjustment.
Who It’s For
You’re a long-range rimfire shooter who wants a .17 HMR that prints sub-MOA groups at 100 yards without a chassis. You hunt varmints or shoot NRL22 matches and need a lightweight, threaded rifle that suppresses well and shoots flat. You don’t want to chase barrel harmonics or bed actions—you want a factory rifle that works.
Pros & Cons
- Pro: Factory accuracy is consistently under 1 MOA with quality ammo. Many shooters report .5–.75 MOA at 100 yards.
- Pro: Threaded barrel is standard, not an afterthought. Muzzle is concentric and timed correctly from the factory.
- Con: The synthetic stock is functional but not rigid enough for full chassis-level stability. If you plan to shoot PRS rimfire, budget for an aftermarket stock or chassis.
- Con: Magazine release is a bit stiff out of the box. A few hundred reload cycles smooths it up, but it’s not buttery from day one.
Comparison: Tikka T1x vs. CZ 457 vs. Ruger Precision Rimfire
| Feature | Tikka T1x 17 HMR | CZ 457 Varmint | Ruger Precision Rimfire |
|---|---|---|---|
| Barrel Length | 16″ threaded | 20.5″ threaded | 18″ threaded |
| Weight | 5.8 lbs | 7.3 lbs | 6.9 lbs |
| Trigger | Single-stage, adjustable | Single-stage, adjustable | Two-stage, adjustable |
| Stock | Synthetic, fixed, interchangeable grip | Laminate or synthetic, fixed | Adjustable AR-style stock |
| Magazine | 8-round detachable box | 5-round rotary | 15-round BX-15 compatible |
| Street Price | $649 | $580–$680 | $529 |
| Accuracy at 100 yd | 0.5–0.75 MOA | 0.5–0.8 MOA | 0.8–1.2 MOA |
The CZ 457 is a classic but heavier. The Ruger Precision Rimfire offers AR ergonomics but typically shoots a hair wider. The Tikka T1x splits the difference with a light weight, a threaded barrel, and factory accuracy that often beats both.
FAQ
Does the Tikka T1x 17 HMR 16″ come with a scope rail?
Yes. The receiver is drilled and tapped for a Picatinny rail (Tikka part #S54059778). It does not include a rail in the box, but aftermarket rails from Area 419 or DIP fit without gunsmithing.
What thread pitch is the barrel?
1/2×28. Standard for rimfire suppressors and brakes. The muzzle is threaded with a factory-installed thread protector.
Can I use the T1x for NRL22?
Yes, in the Base class. The synthetic stock and non-adjustable comb limit you in Open class, but the rifle is accurate enough to be competitive in Base division. Many shooters add a cheek riser and run it.
Is the trigger adjustable without a gunsmith?
Yes. The trigger pull weight is adjustable via a hex screw inside the trigger housing. No special tools required beyond a 2.5mm hex wrench. Per Tikka’s manual, the safe adjustment range is 2–4 lbs.
What is the magazine capacity?
8 rounds. Factory magazines are single-stack, steel-bodied. Aftermarket options from M*CARBO and others offer 10- and 15-round versions, but they may require fitting.
