These are 2 of my Fav rifles to hunt because of light weight and balance.
I have posted plenty of pix with these and dead deer.

Left -- T 3X Lite SS 7 RM with Warne bases.

Recoil isn't noticeable to me. Maybe the Tikka composite stock. An 06 wouldn't punish anyone ESP with factory ammo.

150s in a .30-06 if it has a decent recoil pad aint nuthing to fuggup ones shooting.

Used to be shotgun for deer state, slug guns were pretty brutal and some way worse than others.
Im sure many shooters were ruined before transitioning to rifles.

But spending time on ranges, I think most folks suck at shooting no matter what they run.

Amen. Those guys always looking to blame their pizz poor shooting on something too. Its funny


I ain't the only one knows or says this. Stock design and fit has A LOT to do with perceived recoil.
