New rifle time

[Longshanx 833]

I've got the T1X in 17 hmr with the 16" barrel, going to get a DTP mod for it soon. its a great feeling rifle, was contemplating the 22lr as well but my trusty CZ455 does the job just nicely for the moment

I just liked the length, it also looks like it will take a knock or two , because it is going to have a hard life in and out of the truck and mule .

I have a t1x bought it when they first come out. You will not regret it. A guy I know cerakoated metal work and I put a laminate stock on it. Cracking little tool with pard 008 on top

You have done the right thing John .Scrapped your old rifle for a tikka .Swear by them myself .Im wanting a 308 in tikka t3 lite but need to sell the Remington before hand .Will change the .22 for a tikka as well in time .

Our force does a one for one same day but you must surrender one to a rfd  before getting a letter to take to Devices HQ .

Never had any trouble waiting for a one  for one here in Wilts .Mate in Somerset has waited 3 months for a one for  one due to this lockdown shite .

Have to have a day out soon mate ,should be a shed coming up ,ill ring you .

I waited 4 months for one for one with Avon and Somerset. Crazy when others are turning them round in a week

In normal times I’ve had a variation back in three days with Gloucestershire, can’t fault them , I was also told that if the rifle  is scrapped there is no fee .

Pretty much standard here always took ages

I also have the Tx1 with a 16'' barrel, a cracking little rifle although I fitted the alternative pistol grip and beavertail forend which collectively they off er a much better feel to the gun in my opinion.  Hope you enjoy it, they seem to like RWS subs and Hornady HV ammo.

Well in spite of lockdown Gloucestershire police have got my variation processed and back to me today , bearing in mind that it was also a bank holiday this week . Also a 1:1 there is no charge. I have never had any issue with the FEOs they have always been quick and helpful. Three days is what they always seen to do for a variation. Giving the Seller a call now . Happy days

Well here she is and I’m not disappointed. I kept my old mod and sling but I’ve added a cheap and cheerful Hawke 3x9x50 and it is shooting Winchester subs at 50 meters in a tight group . Good enough for me . I like the magazine which is easy to load and also the safety catch which is the same as my other rifles which helps . I can’t fault the trigger which some people adjust, but I’m happy with it as it is . 
           A little trip around in the truck produced a squirrel and , and , erm a couple of erm what’s its . Damn , where’s my GL 36 book !!!!
