RE: Tikka
I got a Tikkia T3 Light in 300WSM as a early xmas present last yr. And I think it is the best $ for $ out of the box rifle I have ever owned. It has a excellent trigger and one of the smoothest action I have ever touched. Yes the stock is a little Plasticy feeling But I like the shape and handling of it. As far as being light weight and a little heavy recoiled when shooting from the bench it does have a little recoil But remember it is meet to be a light weight rifle. and it has a good recoil pad from the factory. My rifle shoot 1/2 to 3/4" groups right out of the box. I have many rifle but this one has became one of my favorite this far.
