The Tikka T1x .22 LR 16in Threaded Black Synthetic is a bolt-action rimfire rifle built for serious range work and training. It pairs a 16-inch threaded barrel (1/2×28) with a fixed black synthetic stock and a detachable 10-round magazine. The cross-over barrel profile gives you the stability of a heavier barrel without the extra weight, and the single-stage adjustable trigger helps you shoot consistently with light .22 LR loads. This is a solid, no-nonsense rifle for shooters who want a reliable rimfire that handles like a centerfire.

Key Features
- Cross-over barrel profile – Why it matters: You get the rigidity of a heavy barrel for better accuracy, but the gun stays light enough to carry all day. That 16-inch length keeps it handy for bench work or field use.
- Single-stage adjustable trigger – Why it matters: You can dial the pull weight to your preference, which means cleaner breaks and tighter groups, especially with rimfire ammo that can be finicky.
- Threaded muzzle (1/2×28) – Why it matters: Lets you attach a suppressor or brake easily. This rifle runs quiet with a can, making it ideal for training without spooking neighbors or wildlife.
- Detachable 10-round magazine – Why it matters: Quick reloads and easy carry. The mag feeds reliably with standard and high-velocity .22 LR rounds.
- Fixed black synthetic stock – Why it matters: It’s weatherproof and tough, so you don’t worry about scratches or rain. The stock has a raised cheek piece for a good cheek weld with optics.
Who It’s For
This rifle is for anyone who wants a reliable .22 LR bolt gun for target practice, training, or small-game hunting. New shooters will appreciate the light recoil and adjustable trigger. Experienced shooters will like the accuracy potential and threaded barrel. It’s also a great trainer for centerfire Tikka owners—same bolt throw and feel, lower cost per round.
Pros & Cons
- Pros: Accurate out of the box, smooth bolt lift, adjustable trigger, threaded barrel, lightweight, uses common 10-round magazines.
- Cons: The synthetic stock feels a bit basic compared to wood or chassis options. If you want a fully adjustable stock, you’ll need to upgrade. Also, the 16-inch barrel means slightly lower velocity than a 20-inch barrel, but for most range work it’s fine.

The T1x costs more than the Ruger or Savage, but you get a smoother action, better trigger adjustment, and a threaded barrel standard. If you want a semi-auto plinker, the 10/22 is cheaper. If you want a bolt gun with similar features for less, the Savage Mark II is a solid alternative—but the Tikka’s fit and finish are a step up.
FAQ
What is the barrel twist rate on the Tikka T1x .22 LR 16in?
The twist rate is 1:16 inches, per manufacturer specs. That works well with standard 40-grain .22 LR rounds.
Does this rifle come with scope rings or a rail?
No, it does not. You’ll need to buy a scope rail and rings separately. The receiver is drilled and tapped for standard 11mm dovetail or Picatinny rails.
Can I use a suppressor on the threaded barrel?
Yes, the 1/2×28 threads are standard for rimfire suppressors. Make sure your can is rated for .22 LR. The barrel is long enough to clear most handguards.
Is the stock adjustable for length of pull or cheek height?
No, the stock is fixed. It has a raised comb for optics, but you can’t adjust length of pull or cheek height without aftermarket parts.
What’s the magazine capacity?
It comes with a 10-round detachable magazine. 5-round magazines are available separately for hunting in restricted states.
