Thread: Tikka 7mm rem mag vs tikka 300wsm-270wsm

Neither are unpleasant in recoil but you’ve got a sharper recoil to deal with in the WSM. And more so as you go to heavier 30 cal pills

Ive never fired anything bigger then a .308. Currently running a .260 which has no recoil at all. Thanks for the comment

Well if you like to have a go with a few bigger cals, I'm back for six weeks, 1st April, and can put a .264 win, 300H&H, .358 win and perhaps a 9.3 in your hands, and you can get an idea of what your tolerance level is.
I am not a fan of the Tikkas, but I would take the 7mm rem mag, over the two WSM, for the following reasons, cheaper to feed, and more ammo choices in Taranaki, as well as in my view, the best long range performance,
I had a 270 WSM, in M70 win, (kept the M70 .264 win), and got rid of it, picky bastard, would shoot anything I wanted. so if you go this root, I got dies for you,
