[QUOTE="Lee7588, post: 3027352, member: 123764"] For a first rifle the Tikka is a great rifle that will allow you to change it up if you desire. 300 wm IMO is going to be to much recoil for a first rifle. Touch recoil will start bad habits, like anticipated recoil flinch, snatching a trigger. If you go to something with less recoil you are less likely to start these habits. A 270 win, 280, 7mm-08, 30-06, 6.5 PRC would be better choices. Also maybe look at the Tikka t3x (not the lite). As far as illuminated reticles, I have them but rarely if ever use them. The only one I use is on my Ar15 when the thermal is on it. [/QUOTE]
