Tikka T1x

[Longshanx 832]

Just spoke to my RFD and still no news on the new Tikka rimfire, release date was supposed to be April-May

Ive got my name down in the book for a 16” 17 HMR.

Anyone else heard anything?

I wish you luck but this is all to often the case.

Release/import dates are commonly grossly optimistic or simply lies!

I was looking at them last night, no one has them or knows when they are getting them but most are taking orders for them, who did you go to

They have been on about the arrival of the 17WSM for several years, they are like rocking horse doings in the UK, and a LEFTY in the New Tikka rimfire is likely to be months behind the right hand, and that may well be years off yet if historical Tikka form is anything to go by!

I still like my CZ 455 .22 at the moment, i was going to get a CZ in 17 hmr but thought I’d get the tikka after reading and watching the reviews. Think it maybe a while till a lefty comes out judging the length of time it’s taking for the right hander to come over here

[Stavross 13,713]

Lefty’s normally follow a couple of years later, if the rights do good sales, I had a nightmare getting the browning .17 hmr the way I wanted it and they had the full lefts on the market, I still had to get it cut down to 16” I feel discriminated against for shooting wonky lefty

I can’t see why it takes so long to release the 17 in right handed when they have the 22 out, if there’s a demand for it you would get your product to the people who want it

One reason that history has proved more than once,  we are the poor relations in the UK and near the bottom of the pile.

Someone mentioned it above, bigger markets are catered for before us, simple as, if there are any left after that we may see some!

[Stavross 13,713]

Browning seem to be bad at this if there’s something you want that’s not on the shelf you wait an age for it where as CZ seem to have this side of sales and after sales down to a fine art and this is part of the reason they have been top of the sales list for rim fire for so long ( and the fact they are cheap and work perfectly ) you would think tikka would take a leaf out of CZ book as it’s the first time they have ventured into rim fire they could potentially take over the higher end of the rim fire market if they get there sales plan right

Basically what the RFD said, due to the huge quantities ordered/ bought in America they get things first, then we are given the left overs, then have to wait till more are produced.

It’s not a very good way to conduct business, I understand that the biggest market comes first but a proper release date should be given, instead what will happen is one RFD will get a couple, sell them and then everybody else waits as they come in in dribs and drabs

Totally agree Stav, if they say the release date was April/May that’s when they should be here. 

Hope my RFD gets them first

Bleeding yanks!! Always think they’re  the most important of all countries
