I've been shooting my 16" T1x for about 18 months. I've swapped out the trigger spring, put it in a KRG Bravo stock, and it has an Athlon Midas Tac scope.
I don't hunt, and I shoot off a bench at 50 and 100 yards. At 50, if I shoot 5x5 shot groups, they'll generally average .45-.5". That's with Center-X. With SK Std+, they open up a touch.
I'm happy with the rifle, so it's not that. But I'm about to have some surgery that will keep me from shooting my centerfire rifles for awhile. So, when I can get back to shooting, I thought a new .22 might be fun.
So, what would I have to spend to get something that would shoot better than my Tikka? And this last 18 months is the totality of my rifle shooting experience. So I don't really know what a really nice rifle is capable of, or what I'm capable of, for that matter.
