Thread: Tikka 3 lite 270

Good luck getting it sorted man. I think you have a good case under the consumer guarantees act of the item sold not being fit for purpose.

A 308 will likely be the best choice givin the availability of factory stuff. 6.5x55 or 260 are as LR cpabale and boot less but have crappy factory ammo selection so are more an option if you intend to reload

That being said even the humble 308 will boot a bit and over a long session cause shooter fatigue. Its just the reality of the lighweight factory tikka stocks.
Even throwing a cheapy boyds laminates thumbhole will make a big difference to the felt recoil over a factory stock.

If it really is for LR only then throwing a bit more cash at it and getting a long varmint/target contour barreled factory rig might be worthwhile. Savage tikka and howa all offer them at pretty reasonable prices.
The extra weight and heavier barrel will all work to keep felt recoil down
