Description
The Tikka T1x has been an overwhelming success in the
rimfire shooting community. Now there is
a solution for the plastic trigger guard and bottom metal for this great little
rifle.
We milled a larger magazine well into the bottom metal to
speed up magazine changes. No modifications
to the stock or rifle system are necessary for this conversion.
Moreover, the Tikka T1x Bottom Metal is covered under our
unconditional lifetime warranty!
Specifications:
Bottom Metal Body – 6061-T6 Billet Aluminum
Bottom Metal Finish – Type III Mil-Spec Hard Anodized

This bottom metal is well finished and certainly more rigid than the plastic one that the Tikka T1X comes with. The bolt holes and magazine well align properly with the action and stock but owners of the T1X UPR stock should be aware that the metal is narrower than the recess on the stock and leaves an 1/8″ gap on either side. I can’t say whether or not it fits the recess on the MPR version. Also, the factory mag release is a bit less exposed because the Mountain Tactical version has a slightly shallower well for it. It’s still quite workable, though. Despite these minor issues, I’m glad I upgraded to this part, as it gives the action screws something unyielding to torque down against and the trigger guard is strong enough to support the rifle if you want to place your palm under it for a standing unsupported shot.
