[QUOTE="Ak_Hobie, post: 2829653, member: 115613"] I’ve got 3 tikkas now. I sold the superlite I bought for the girlfriend in 30‘06 cuz it kicked harder than my 338’s & 375’s. There are two things I don’t like about them. The bigger calibers in the superlite are less than 6 pounds and kick like hell. I carry 338 win mags and 375 H&Hs and I’d rather shoot them unbroke than that ‘06. It’s not tikkas fault, it’s just physics and and any gun that light without a brake will kick. The second thing is the magazine can pop out if hunting thick brush. I has a single release point that can be hit by brush and it will drop out on the trail. A buddy had it happen when we were hunting moose. Lucky for us, We were able to backtrack and find it laying in the trail. The local sportsman’s warehouse manager said it happen to him. He never found it and switched to a sako when he got back from the hunt. Be sure to carry a backup magazine in your pack. If you can deal with those two issues then they are a great gun for the money. [/QUOTE]
