I have the tikka t3 in 300wsm lite. I like the caliber but in the lite it has pretty  substantial recoil. I reloaded light loads with 150 gr bullets and they just dont shoot well past 100 yards. I think with the twist rate it has its better suited to 168 gr and up bullets. I have a new custom 7 rem mag so I just dont need to load it heavy. I would buy another tikka again but just in a lighter cal. For a light weight packing rifle with great power its a great combo though.

Love the 300WSM. I can pick just about any of the popular calibers out of the safe and 90% of the time I take that one.

I'm just the opposite on the kick. In a fairly light x-bolt, I have very little kick with the 300WSM.


I shot yours last year and kinda liked it. Thanks Jeff for making me spend money............. :chuckle: :chuckle: Are you coming over for bear ? Oh, mine weighs 7.1 lbs with the scope w/no sling. Really light, 3.5 lb trigger, nice smooth bolt.

Dude.. I hate you right now... been wanting that exact gun or the T3 lite for a long time..... 

The caliber is an awesome one.. if you want some load data let me know.. I load for my brother and nephew, and they both shoot very very well.   :tup: :tup:

I am betting that you will love it.
The reason there are so many Ruger upgrades is because they're necessary.

Also, I'm picking up my Savage Model 16 6.5 Creedmoor tomorrow.

Absolutely nothing if you are a working stiff that wants a great shooting rifle right out of the box.....  :tup: :tup: :tup:

I'm going to be over, but probably later in the season. I have an any bull tag in the Observatory that I want to get filled. I have the Multi season deer, so will be over for deer and bear later on. If you want to pick me one out I would appreciate it. That big on from last year would do just fine if the cub is gone.

Brother in laws dad who owned the cabin passed away about a month ago, so still waiting to see what happens with the property over there. I'm guessing the brothers are all going to keep the place. I'll let you know when I'm heading over again.

You hunting muzzy again this year?

I actually have a multi season deer tag too, again. Sorry to hear about brother inlaws dad. You looking for a deer llike this one ? It's been hanging around for a couple months now. Just bought feed for it... :chuckle: :chuckle: He's about 1-2 inches outside his ears. :tup:
