Tikka T1X Ace Target .17 HMR 16in Threaded 10rd

The Tikka T1X Ace Target .17 HMR 16in Threaded 10rd is a precision rimfire rifle built on the same chassis architecture as the T3x Ace Target, giving you a consistent feel across your practice and centerfire competition rifles. This .17 HMR variant delivers flat trajectory and low recoil for extended training sessions without fatigue. The 16-inch threaded heavy barrel, adjustable aluminum chassis, and factory-installed 20 MOA Picatinny rail make it ready for optics and a suppressor out of the box. It ships with a detachable 10-round magazine.

Key Features

• Threaded heavy barrel (16 in, 1/2×28): Why it matters — lets you mount a suppressor or muzzle brake without a gunsmith, keeping your point of impact consistent and reducing noise for range sessions.
• Adjustable aluminum chassis with LOP and cheek riser: Why it matters — you can dial in length of pull and comb height to match your shooting jacket or prone position, eliminating parallax errors and improving cheek weld repeatability.
• Factory-installed 20 MOA Picatinny rail: Why it matters — gives you immediate elevation adjustment for long-range .17 HMR loads out past 200 yards without using up your scope’s internal travel.
• Detachable 10-round magazine: Why it matters — allows fast reloads during competition stages and keeps your training cadence high without fumbling with single rounds.
• Same ergonomics as T3x Ace Target: Why it matters — if you already shoot a T3x Ace in centerfire, your muscle memory transfers directly, so you don’t waste time adjusting to a different grip or safety location.

Who It’s For

This rifle is for the long-range shooter who wants a rimfire trainer that mirrors their centerfire competition rig. If you shoot PRS, NRL22, or any positional precision match, the T1X Ace Target gives you a platform that shares stock geometry, balance, and trigger feel with the T3x Ace. It also suits varmint hunters who need a flat-shooting, quiet .17 HMR with suppressor capability.

Pros and Cons

• Pro: The 20 MOA rail is installed at the factory, saving you $50–80 and the hassle of torquing base screws.
• Pro: The adjustable stock lets you fine-tune fit for different shooting positions — prone, barricade, or bench.
• Con: The aluminum chassis adds weight compared to a synthetic stock; at 8.2 lbs, it’s not a lightweight walking rifle for long hikes.
