[QUOTE="Wachsmann, post: 2395620, member: 10429"] My wife has the Tikka T3 light and it actually has more recoil than we both expected in a 243. It shoots great but we were both surprised after shooting a couple other 243's. I'm putting this in hear so you are just aware. I'll also say a 6mm creed more will yield a lot better performance than the 243 just do to how they were spec'ed out with tighter twist barrels and able to shoot some of the heavier bullets. That is if you want performance. With that said my wife took her mule deer at 298 yards with a 87 grain Berger VLD and it was dead in about 20 feet. Bullet went through to the off side shoulder and stopped at the hide and this load was pretty light and very easy to shoot load. She is also new to hunting. [/QUOTE]
