[QUOTE="Jon Bischof, post: 1860845, member: 879"] Ryan: Just so you know, my son and I took the Tikka 30-06 out yesterday and neither one of us could get a group smaller than 1" @ 100 Yds. I need to get a better rear bag because all of our groups are strung out horizontally. If I had a firmer rear rest, I know that those groups would tighten up a bit. But on the other hand, my son and I both managed smaller groups using the same rests shooting my Sauer Creedmoor. So the Tikka 30-06 is just harder to wring good groups out of than the Sauer. This could be because the Sauer is just more accurate, or it could be because the Tikka is lighter. I believe it is a combination of both. I won't really be able to see what these rifles are really capable of until I sort out my rear rest. Just thought you should know that you aren't the only fellow who has a difficult time shooting light, hard-kicking rifles consistently. My son mentioned the recoil on his shoulder and we talked about squaring your chest up against the rifle butt--that helps a lot to absorb the recoil without pain to your shoulder. [/QUOTE]
