[QUOTE="catorres1, post: 1138085, member: 80699"] Yep, it's about the recoil. No too worried about powder savings, though it's about 1/3 less IIRC. Barrel life, I really don't know. Just talking to both trainers, they suggested for volume shooting, something with less recoil. Hence the 260. In addition, I am in Texas, barrels get so hot so fast in the middle of the summer, and take so long to cool. So I have a heavier barrel on the Tikka to handle heat a little better, plus being able to swap between rifles while one cools makes my time more efficient. Little Tikka CTR is a shooter too!
