It has been three months since I've been able to get back to the range and shoot my new Tikka T3 30.06. This is my third time shooting it and it feels and shoots very nice, but kick...Ouch! I am shooting 165 gr Federal Premium Sierra Boattails (Gameking BTSP) and I did put on a Sims Limbsaver recoil pad, but I had to stop after twenty rounds yesterday. I am thinking about swapping out the synthetic stock for a heavier laminated one. Does anyone know of a placeto either get original or after market stocks for this rifle? I haven't been able to find much searching on-line.

Let me know. Thanks!

Another idea worth considering,is adding weight inside the stock.I have done so by mixing shot and epoxy.It can be added into the butt or forend and is much cheaper than a new stock.
