I have a tikka 300 mag and they are great guns the con is they are so light that you feel the recoil compared to a heavier gun so I'm looking into a muzzle real for it

I have 2 one is a .270 WSM T -3 lite and it's awesome wouldn't change a thing my 2nd one is a .300WSM and it kicked good so I put a B/C medalist stock on it and it tamed it down a lot of.  Muzzle breaks are so annoying loud that I refuse to do that so the only con to me are the stocks they very cheap and loud when scratched against

Just get a kick pad for it and you're good to go!

No Cons however in that caliber I would muzzle brake it. 
It's a TIKKA thing..., you may not understand.

I bought one in 25-06, only put a dozen rounds through it but I like it, looking forward to the fall.

I have the T3 light in 300WSM.  Rifle was light (good), kicked like a mule (bad)

I changed the recoil pad to a limbsaver.  Recoil now felt like a 308/30-06.  The factory rubber piece was supported by hard plastic.

I have since changed to a B&C stock.  Nice rigid stock w/aluminum bed, and Pachmeyer recoil pad.

Shoots VERY nice

Yep the B/ C stocks make a world of difference  :tup:

By the way, what caliber are you looking at?

If you can't find one locally to check out, let me know and we can meet up. I believe north 40 is also a tikka dealer.

I have three Tikka lite's.  All are great shooters and well made.  I think they are the best value out there for the money.  I've replaced the recoil pads on the .308 and the .300 Win Mag with Limbsaver pads and it helped a great deal with recoil.  Also, you may want to think about replacing the stock rings (they come with Tikka rings) and upgrade to a sturdier ring in the higher calibers.  Great rifles...you'll love it!

Only a few places will carry them. Not all tikka dealers stock or have access to the super lite model. So I would call around before you go looking for one.
