Good buy! I have a Sako finnlight 300 WSM and kinda wish I went with the WM just for ease of finding ammo, but the kick on the finnlight is pretty fatiguing as is. Completely pays off in the mountains though, How is 300wm on the tikka lite?
- gnarbarian 6y agoPainful. Rifle weighs around 6.5lbs. it needs a stock pad to be usable. And if you go through a box of ammo at the range you will be sore for a week. But it's accurate to around .5 MOA and I stick a giant Burris eliminator 3 scope on there to take some of the bite out of the recoil.
- kerkeslager 6y agoA muzzle brake might do wonders for you. I can't speak for 300WSM, but in 308, a muzzle brake takes it from "I'll shoot 10 rounds and regret it the next day", to "I'll shoot 50 rounds and stop from soreness, but have no shoulder bruising the next day."
- gnarbarian 6y agoYup I've got a fancy brake on my PTR 91. Can shoot .308 through that sucker all day. The Tikka doesn't have a threaded barrel though so I'd have to take it to a gunsmith. Which I'll eventually get around to...
- krrrh 6y agoI don't know why Limbsaver Airtech recoil pads aren't more popular. I put one on my T3x Lite after my first visit to the range and since then I can shoot a couple of boxes without issue. It's an inexpensive and practical fix.
