Tikka recoil pad - 05/22/20
I'm not incredibly experienced with big game rifles and am looking at getting just my second ever. My current rifle is a 6.5 creedmoor and isn't a lightweight (it's a Howa). It has a pretty good recoil pad and recoil is never an issue. I'm thinking about getting a Tikka T3X Lite, also in 6.5 creedmoor, and I noticed that the pad feels pretty stiff on the Tikka. The Tikka would be a full pound less than my current setup. For those of you with the T3X, how do you like the factory pad? I'd rather not add to the length of pull by adding a limbsaver.
