I have a couple of 452s, both with tuned triggers (a varmint, and a 16" American) but having recently had some excellent trigger time behind a T3X varmint in 204R, I feel I can't ignore the T1X any longer.
I basically asked this same question on CGN in a couple of different ways, as I "was" thinking I should sell-off one of the 452s to finance the Tikka. (an I don't need a heap of .22s. I mean...I do..
) The consensus seemed to be this-if you have a 452 that shoots well, don't gamble on getting rid of it to fund the Tikka. The suggestion being (answers and PMs) that basically...the CZ is bound to be good, and that there are T1X owners not getting good results.
So..does that help? lol I personally find it hard to believe that anything comes out of Tikka/Sako that isn't good/accurate/trouble-free, so I'm still planning on buying a T1X..but I'm not selling a 452 first. The question is a fair one though, @ $730/$740 (before tax) every Tikka T1X should be awfully good. Should be.
