I could be out of line and slightly away from the topic saying this but if its that bad to shoot, I'd question how you can shoot accurately at long range (you say it's your long range hunting rifle)....

I use a Tikka T 3 lite 7mm rem mag with no suppressor or brake and when shooting game I don't notice recoil or noise. I feel for you with your injury sorry to hear that. I find holding the...

I would take Makros offer. Some Tikkas kick like absolute bastards because of stock shape and material, you might have one of those

That's a rough deal of it mate. If it's your collar bone giving you grief try to avoid shooting prone (lying down). You want be sitting and standing. That way the butt of the rifle isn't sitting...

Suppress and lighter loads. I run 130’s with 3 extra baffles on my dpt, shoots like a .223 My 9 yo nephew shoots out to 300m with it easy as. Even when it wasn’t suppressed and ran 180s in it it was...

Have you shot a 308 before? A different rifle ? How was the recoil ? A light weight Tikka 308 without a good suppressor or brake can be a challenge for those of us who are recoil sensitive and as...

Somethings seriously wrong if your feeling like a 308 is going to break your shoulder. Smaller calibers are still good for hunting. Last thing you want to do is develop a flinch.

I use springer air rifles, the hold technique is to let the front grip slide, artillery hold. Got a forwards & backwards recoil that buggers up accuracy. Done this a few times with the 308, large...

DONT add a suppressor if you want more recoil reduction and particularly if you want light weight as you've said. The factory brakes are average at best get a Terminator brake or similar and recoil...

Buy a 'Past' recoil pad and wear it under your shirt........ I use it both at the range and in the field for calibers like the 375 H&H Magnum. Tames it right down and is comfortable to wear. I also...

Biggest way to reduce recoil is reduce bullet weight. Recoil pad, technique, brake etc all good recommendations. Bullet weight will make them all more effective by a lot. Maybe look at the 130gn...
