[QUOTE="cfvickers, post: 576616, member: 25488"] The Tikka is a very nice rifle for the money, the detractors are listed above, but they shoot very well and are very light. Recoil comes with the weight but I never saw a gun that would shoot well and was "hard to shoot well". If you are concerned with recoil then stay over 8lbs, under 60 grains of powder, and at or below 150 grains of bullet. If a guy can shoot a .243 to it's full potential in accuracy he can most likely do the same with a big magnum. he may flinch less with a small caliber but if you flinch you flinch regardless of the cartridge. For those that disagree, feel free to post your comments, I won't argue back. I am just saying that if one flinches with a magnum then he has recoil at the forefront of his mind, ahead of a steady hold and a smooth trigger pull. Concentrate on your hold, your sight picture, and your trigger, recoil is just an after effect. If the recoil is too rough, install a brake. [/QUOTE]
