First Time Shooting Tikka T3X Lite in 308WIN (LimbSaver A Game Changer)

In this video, I test out my new Tikka T3X Lite Bolt-action Rifle chambered in 308 Winchester, for the first time. This is a light weight rifle, shooting a not so light round. The out of the box kick was not unnoticeable. However, I was able to found the perfect solution to the recoil issue with the help of a LimbSaver Recoil Pad.
Equipment List:
LimbSaver Recoil Pad - amzn.to/40sJigM
Scope - amzn.to/49kE8HB
Shooting Bags - amzn.to/3QMO05q
Ear Protection - amzn.to/3sieKS9
BoreSnake (Rifle Cleaning Tool) - amzn.to/3QiDFwQ

    Now just replace that factory trigger spring with one from Mountain Tactical, put the set screw out so that it touches the bolt head of the trigger mount screw which is the lightest pull the trigger can achieve, and you'll be set.

    Cool video and cool review! Big Tikka fan here. Like you I wish the Limbsaver pad didn't change the feel of shouldering the rifle so much...but most of my 308 shooting will be with Barnes 110gr and 130gr bullets. Nice to see another Canadian shooter on KZread!

    i had same issue, after deer season send your gun to “custom gun worx” in rocky mountain house AB and get a muzzle break installed…. the guy does such a nice job!!!! and almost all your felt recoil will be gone…… louder but who cares about that. that 308 will recoil like a 22lr

    Thanks for the hot tip!! I don't mind it at all now with the limbsaver. But muzzle break is definitely another great solution. I'll have to consider that if I get an even bigger caliber in the future!!

    Be sure to replace the aluminum recoil block in the stock with a steel one from Tikka for magnum calibers. Not sure if .308 is magnum enough but keep an eye on if it starts denying the aluminum recoil block in the stock. Will cause groups to start opening up and losing accuracy. Other than that you couldn’t have picked a better rifle.

    I have the limbsaver on all of my Tikkas. Just don't store your rifle upright on that recoil pad. They are so soft they can deform over time if you store the rifle like you would in a gun safe.
