[QUOTE="Wachsmann, post: 809817, member: 10429"] My wife has a tikka t3 light in a 243. The recoil was a little bit more than what I expected from a 243 but she has got used to it. It is her first gun. Sometimes I wish I would of went with the 7-08 because it can be used on elk at average ranges with no issues. The 243 is great and she can drive it out to 600yrds with a little coaching. This is her first rifle and she probably does not have 50 bullets down the barrel as of now. It shot good from day 1. But if I had to do it again I might would of went with the a 7-08 for a first rifle. I also have a 6.5x284. Not sure were the recoil lies on that one. The tikka t3 lights are very light so it did surprise me the first time I shot it. Not that it was bad because I also have a 300 ultra mag but it was just not expected. I had a friend with a savage bull barrel 26 inch in a 243 that had almost no recoil because the rifle was heavy, So weight helps alot. [/QUOTE]
