Advice on New Rifle

[OutHouse]

I don't know what we are talking about anymore but man I've got the urge to shoot guns and watch Justice League

Rifle's,women, and accessories....not necessarily in that order...keep up man..

Good thing my rifle's and my wife came factory how I wanted them.... otherwise sounds really expensive..

I like my rifles way fancier than my women 

Ha haaa any woman might be fancier than the rifles I have!  Hopefully this weekend I am going to shoot my brother's Winchester Featherlight model. He loves it but I think I want stainless after looking at the Tikkas a moment ago.

The only draw back to my sons Tikka 270 wsm is the hammer it drops on the shoulder. I went from the bench to the gunsmith to put a break on that thing to tame her down. I have no idea if it’s the design of the stock or what but they flat out kick! It shoots lights out though

I put a limbsaver on mine. Really tames them down.

Wsm is burning a good bit more powder than the Win. Doubt recoil will be an issue with the 308 or 270. Limbsaver is ALWAYS a worthy upgrade though. Don't think anyone has ever wished their gun had MORE felt recoil

Which specific pad would you recommend?  My son shoots a 300 weatherby vangaurd that could use a little taming.

for a 300 weatherby, I'd recommend a MBM 4 port beast muzzle brake   

But seriously,  I have no idea who makes pads for weatherby rifles. Im sure limbsaver has a model that fits

Did it increase the LOP? My kid is at the max LOP with the factory pad

Mine gained may 3/8" with a Limbsaver but that was years ago.
They may have a new spec now.

Thanks I will look into that. With the break and a nice cushy pad it will be like shooting a BB gun 


Sorry for the derailment. Back to the original topic

If someone doesn't like the plastic stock most Tikka's come with they have a few different models that come with pretty decent wood stocks. 

They aren't for me because they typically kick like a mule but everyone talks about their super lightweight guns but then they all b1tch about the plastic stock.  Unless you plan on spending considerably more than a factory Tikka cost it's pretty hard to get a 6 lb rifle without a plastic stock and though I'm no fan of plastic stocks, as plastic stocks go, the one on my Tikka compact is better than most.

I  have a SAKO A7 Roughtech in .270 win, scope and ammo listed: https://hunting-washington.com/smf/index.php/topic,265371.0.html
I have the tools to install the scope back on the rifle if you buy it all.

Hells Canyon Speed and a VX5 in .270.  I hate the Rubbermaid stocks on the Tikkas.
