I have a Tikika T3 Lite Stainless in 300 WSMand love it. I plan on getting a few more Tikkas in the near future. I want a 338 Win Mag in a Stainless model and a 243 in a Varmint model. The trigger is great on mine. It shoots jsut over 1in outside to outside with 180gr Winchester Super-X Power Points. I havnt tryed any other ammo in it yet.

OK I'll bite www.berettausa.com has all the specs on the rifle(s) in question. 300WSM if it does not fit you like a glove is gonna knock you on your @ss, your gonna flinch, and get gun shy very quickly. Buy a T3 lite in a non-mag and get happy.

RE: HAS ANYONE SHOT A TIKKA In Synthetic,Laminated,Deluxe or hunter Thinking Of Buying one
 

Any gun that doesn't fit you will kick like that mule. If the T3 fits, consider a 7mm Rem Mag. That way you can start with the reduced recoil loads and when you're ready shoot the regular loads. My Tikka in 7mm maggroups under an inch at 100 yards with cheap Federal loads. There's nothing a 7 can't handle except big bears. Mine is stainless and synthetic with a Bushnell 3200 Elite. (It may be for sale.)

Yeah, no kidding. Stock and fit mean alot. I am not real crazy about light rifles in high power calibers in general though.

RE: HAS ANYONE SHOT A TIKKA In Synthetic,Laminated,Deluxe or hunter Thinking Of Buying one
 

T3 Lite and Lite SS are 6lbs 6oz
T3 Lam & Deluxeare 7lbs 12 oz
T3 Hunters are 6lb 13oz

The heavier guns will reduce recoil BUT only if they fit you well. As mentioned if the rifle doesn't fit you well felt recoil will be increased. For the last time the only way to select a gun or model is by handling and shoulder it, anything else is a guess!!

It all matters on how the gun fits you. Mine fits me well so the recoil dosnt bother me. I can shoot more 300 WSM rounds comfortably then i can 270 rounds out of my Remington 7400. My dad on the other hand only shot 2 rounds out ofmy Tikka and will never shoot it again but he shoots a Remington 7600 all day with no problem but that guns starts to bother me after 30-40 rounds. Its all on how the gun fits you. I started with a 30-06 at 14. I believe a 7mm-08 or 25-06 would have been alot better choices for me then since i only hunted deer but i didnt know much about guns. If your only hunting deer look into a 25-06, 7mm-08, 270. If you hunt bigger game like Elk then you might want toi step it up to a 308, 30-06, 7mm Mag and put a good recoil pad on the gun you get.

The Tikkalaminated stock in 300 win mag fit me jsut fine it was awesome but i want a 300 WSM so i think im gonna get a Browning With boss in 300 wsm thanxs alot guys

RE: HAS ANYONE SHOT A TIKKA In Synthetic,Laminated,Deluxe or hunter Thinking Of Buying one
 

Ox,

One last attempt at reason. If the Tikka fits well get it, if the Browning fits you well get it. If you want a 300 WSM by all means get it. I dislike the Boss or any other brake systems due to the noise. You can get the friend of the family you spoke of who reloads to load you some "light" recoil loads. Then when you grow up and want the hotter loads you can load them up.

RE: HAS ANYONE SHOT A TIKKA In Synthetic,Laminated,Deluxe or hunter Thinking Of Buying one
 

IM not into rifles with a muzzle break on them. If you cant handle that much recoil and need a muzzle break then get a smaller gun. A 243 will kill a deer justas dead as a 300 WSM or 375 H&H.

RE: HAS ANYONE SHOT A TIKKA In Synthetic,Laminated,Deluxe or hunter Thinking Of Buying one
 

I wouldn't shy away from the boss simply due to excessive noise because you can get the solid "cr" piece for the boss,but if you have the cr module on,it won't decrease recoil.

I have a TK3 lite in 300 win mag - Outstanding excellent gun and excellent shooter... I would not even consider the short mag - the orginal is the best + the ammo is a lot easier to find and less expensive...

RE: HAS ANYONE SHOT A TIKKA In Synthetic,Laminated,Deluxe or hunter Thinking Of Buying one
 

Had one in 270WSM.. I gave it to my cousin (just didn't like the long barrell on it) He has it now.. I really liked it though..

RE: HAS ANYONE SHOT A TIKKA In Synthetic,Laminated,Deluxe or hunter Thinking Of Buying one
 

Not to be a smart @ss but if you like the Tikka laminated stock and you want a 300WSM, why not get a Tikka Laminated stock in 300WSM?

RE: HAS ANYONE SHOT A TIKKA In Synthetic,Laminated,Deluxe or hunter Thinking Of Buying one
 

Casue the thing is to expensive but i think i will convince my dad on buying one for me because i just think the 300 Win Mag is a little bit to much for me so my dads friend has a 300 WSM in the sub moa Vangard or somthign it's a wheatherby and i shot it loved it but i hate that the wheatherbys are top loading so i mite get my dad to buy that lam/stainless and mount some nice glass on it

RE: HAS ANYONE SHOT A TIKKA In Synthetic,Laminated,Deluxe or hunter Thinking Of Buying one
 

If you have shot a 300 WSM before why are you worried about it? If the gun fits you then the recoil wont be bad. As for the 300 Win Mag being too much. If a 300 Win Mag is too much then a 300 WSM should be too much. They are close to exactly the same.

RE: HAS ANYONE SHOT A TIKKA In Synthetic,Laminated,Deluxe or hunter Thinking Of Buying one
 

haha not to me i shot the exact same gun's 300 WSM and 300 Win Mag in Wheatherby Vangaurd and the 300 Win Mag had more bite to it but the 300 WSM had bark u no what im saying??
