[QUOTE="Leaf Litter, post: 2743870, member: 124584"] I just built a 35 Whelen AI on a new Tikka T3X Light. I went with a 24" stainless Mcgowen barrel with a radial muzzle brake. The contour I got (savage magnum taper) is much heavier than what I should have used, so I needed to inlet the factory tikka stock. The added weight and brake helped reduce recoil to a very manageable level. I topped it off with a Burris fullfield iv 3-12x42. I went with AI for ease of reloading (less trimming), but I don't think I'd do it again with the extra cost associated with dies, custom reamers, headspacing gauges, etc. I have 180gr barnes TTSX, 200gr Interlock spire point and 200gr FTX bullets to work loads up for once I'm done fire forming brass.
