[QUOTE="Tommo64, post: 1972801, member: 107976"] I have two T3Xs, a 223 with a heavy varmint barrel and a Lite in 308. The recoil in the former is negligible, as you would expect but the 308 does buck a little. I haven't shot a 243 but I would imagine it would be somewhere in between. There is of course always a trade off between rifle weight and felt recoil. A heavier rifle will result in less felt recoil, generally speaking. The downside is that she will tire more quickly toting the thing around. I do like the Tikkas, don't know much about Remingtons so can't really compare the two. I agree with other comments made about after market recoil pads. The Tikka ones aren't bad, but I swapped mine for a Limbsaver on the 308 and it was worth it. [/QUOTE]
