[QUOTE="pods8, post: 994545, member: 83233"] Tikkas have a thin barrel as is, I don't think I'd mess with the superlite fluted version, just the regular T3. I'm not sure that I'd want to go 300WM in a Tikka though, my 7mm-08 clocks in at 7.25lb with optics (sightron big sky 3.5-10x42). That's a big jump in felt recoil versus a heavier gun (IE a 9lb gun in 300WM might recoil at 24lbs but a 7.25llb gun might recoil at 29lbs). Doesn't sound like a fun package to me unless it has a brake on it like you said was a consideration. 7mag or 30-06 would likely be much more enjoyable to use. [/QUOTE]
