That’s interesting. My Tikka T3 .308 is in the DPT Hunter chassis and the felt recoil is far less than the factory laminated stock. And there’s no recoil pad, just metal. I noticed it immediately, so did the wife.

I have read on here that some of the stock experts reckon the Tikka stock is a poor design for felt recoil, but I don’t really know enough about stock design to comment on why that might be. All I know is that with the factory stock, shooting the 178gr ELD X on a hot load of 2206H, it was too sharp for me to be confident using it prone in awkward positions on the hill.

The chassis and 165gr and 2208 is fine, and I’ve been shooting deer well past 400m with it no probs. My 13 yr old shoots it well too.
