My Tikka T3 report

OnnO said:
I have a T3 Lite SS 300WM. My record is 16 rounds in the range, no pad and on T-shirt only. Ouch! But actually it kick less than my 870 with 3.5" turkey load!!!

It is my big game rifle, and I never need second shot from it.

I'll see your 16 and raise you another 34. I went though a full box of Barnes 180 TSX over a long day at the range of load development for my 300WM. By the end of the day the .22 was hurting :eek:

.1 = 1/10th of a grain of powder

Tikka is an outstanding rifle and can't wait to get my son one when he's ready
 
I got my Tikka t3 light for coyotes, Much nicer to carry than the Rem sps varmint i sold to my son. I think the Rem was more accurate but was a real bi##h to carry very far. Both were 204 rugers.

my T3 lite 30-06 kicks more than people believe it does when I tell them.. its light and stock recoil pad.. hornady 180 superformance out of it really "smack" you good.

really needs to put a limb saver on it.. other than that I like it. If I buy another tikka it will be the hunter version to get some more weight

You might want to consider putting a muzzle brake on your Tikka. I did that with mine. Tamed the recoil considerably. Will make it loud when on the range but doesn't beat you up when zeroing/practicing.
