Frequently Asked Questions
Is .17 HMR a rimfire cartridge?
Yes, the .17 Hornady Magnum Rimfire (.17 HMR) is a rimfire cartridge developed in 2002. Like all rimfires, it ignites when the firing pin strikes the rim of the case rather than a center primer.
How accurate is the Tikka T1X in .17 HMR?
In our testing at Kansas ranges, the T1X MTR consistently produces sub-MOA groups with quality ammunition. The heavy barrel and precise Finnish manufacturing contribute to this exceptional rimfire accuracy.
What’s the barrel twist rate on the T1X 17 HMR?
The Tikka T1X MTR in .17 HMR features a 1:9″ twist rate, optimized for stabilizing 17-20 grain .17 HMR projectiles at velocities up to 2,550 fps.
Does the chassis accept AR-style stocks?
