Do what the lads say and get a decent recoil pad fitted, and try the ammo again [ after the shoulder settles down].

Use plugs or earmuffs or both when if your not alread when your on the range, believe me it helps.

As a rule neither the 270 or the Tikka are inherently inaccurate so if it doesn't shoot with that particular ammo I reckon it will with something else.
I've occasionally found a stainless barrel can sometimes take awhile to settle and what is a 1.4 group today straight from the box with out any mods could easily become sub moa after 60-100 rds and a bit of tinkering :ie your supressor and a recoil pad.
Be patient and work through it.

Like Jackwire says exercise some patience with your rife.......you have only tried one ammo. I have a 30-06 spr. In a Tikka t3 stainless lite. I have shot about 3 boxes of Hornady 150 gr. American Whitetail and from a rest at 100 yds it groups them approx 1 1/4" at 100 yds. .......sometimes a cloverleaf......sometimes close to 2". It shoots Remington Core Lokts and federal fusion about the same (all lower priced ammo). I have not tried high end ammo in it yet because it is a meat gun. It thumps pretty good because its light, but its a joy to carry.
p.s. i have 2 Remington m700 stainless in .308win and they both shoot core lokts to 1 " and i have had great success with them.
