Tikka vs Browning

Have both, shot both, noticallby less recoil with the tikka t3. Also the tikka was a tad more accurate with the single factory load I tried shooting .30-06 rem 150 gr corelokts. Browning was printing 2" groups while tikka 1.5" groups. Worked up a single load for the browning and I'm getting 1.25" groups. Good enough for me so never tried anything else. All shooting done with a bipod and rear bean bag from a wobbly table. Tikka barrel is a little heavier contour from what I can tell...

Tikka t3 is plastic and feels plastic, abolt feels much better. I got a 2nd abolt (LH .2506 medallion with boss w/o ports) and have traded the tikka, but thats cause im a lefty and the tika was a rh that was given to me.
 
I have the stainless stalker in 300WSM...It has alot of "Felt Recoil" in my opinion, very snappy(due to only being 6.5lbs or so)
The other reason is because the butt footprint is so small. I would never own an A-Bolt in a magnum.

I would imagine that a T3 would be pretty snappy as well.
