Just a question on the Tikka thread. My 18 yr old son has a Tikka T3 light in .279 Win. I like the gun but kicks like a mule. Anyway, I hear of it not doing so good with heavy loads. Something deforms inside the gun. Any truth to this?
Some people question the strength of the factory suppied aluminum recoil lug that is mounted in the stock. But it has not been an issue thus far in my .300 win. mag and I am sure it kicks more then a .270.
P.s. a couple of firms offer steel replacements if it bothers you.
