[QUOTE="brcfo_outdoors, post: 2586011, member: 113623"] A brake will always help with recoil management. I had a Barrett Fieldcraft in .308 and it definitely required and extra level of finesse to shoot accurately. I am not particularly recoil sensitive, but did have my labrum repaired and would feel it if I didn't do everything precisely. I think light rifles inevitably amplify any fault in your shooting technique, forcing you to have really good fundamentals. I know I am a good shooter, but I could not comfortably get the same level of consistent accuracy out of that gun that I could my other rifles under ideal bench rest conditions much less in the actual field. I didn't enjoy shooting it (not sure that is a rifle you [I]enjoy[/I]) and ultimately parted with it for something a little heavier. Now I brake all my hunting rifles and have no regrets. Another/additional option would be to get a better stock to manage the recoil of that rifle. I am a huge fan of the Manners EH1 Elite, and GRS also makes stocks like the Bifrost that will fit the Tikka. [/QUOTE]
