Good to know….just ordered for my tikka 300wm. Didn’t even shoot it yet, but it comes with muzzle break. Wondering now much recoil I’ll have with muzzle break and limbsaver
I just got me my first tikka, I went with the hunter model chambered in 7mm-08. It took me a good minute to decide on caliber but after much research I found this to be the best for me, less recoil than the 308 but will get the job done. O.k., good luck buddy. ps newbie to your channel but subbed!
Cool video and cool review! Big Tikka fan here. Like you I wish the Limbsaver pad didn't change the feel of shouldering the rifle so much...but most of my 308 shooting will be with Barnes 110gr and 130gr bullets. Nice to see another Canadian shooter on RUclips!
Hi Lu. Nice gun. Nice soft recoil pad. Zuzu wants in on the action 😂The Tikka action sound so smooth. Good for you, Lu, enjoy. Hi Hayley! 😊💖from Deifenbaker
Thanks very much Delphine!! Zuzu just wants to be in the center of everything. Hahaha. Fingers crossed I can harvest some deer meat this fall before icefishing!! :)
Be sure to replace the aluminum recoil block in the stock with a steel one from Tikka for magnum calibers. Not sure if .308 is magnum enough but keep an eye on if it starts denying the aluminum recoil block in the stock. Will cause groups to start opening up and losing accuracy. Other than that you couldn’t have picked a better rifle.
Thanks very much for the comment! I had no idea about that. I'll have to keep an eye out for it. Appreciate the hot tip!! And yeah, loving the rifle so far, no complaints for its price range.
i had same issue, after deer season send your gun to “custom gun worx” in rocky mountain house AB and get a muzzle break installed…. the guy does such a nice job!!!! and almost all your felt recoil will be gone…… louder but who cares about that. that 308 will recoil like a 22lr
Thanks for the hot tip!! I don't mind it at all now with the limbsaver. But muzzle break is definitely another great solution. I'll have to consider that if I get an even bigger caliber in the future!!
Nice video! I just added the .308 T3X lite with the stainless barrel for foul weather. I have the T3 Hunter in .308 with wood furniture and it shoots awesome. So, what optics do you have on your setup? Thanks for your time!
Thanks very much!! That's awesome! I wish I had gotten the stainless too, but luckily it's pretty dry where I live. As for optics, I just have a Bushnell 4-12 x 40. But I would recommend more magnification if you are wanting to shot long distance. I was able to use mine up to 300 yards. But any further, a better scope would definitely help!
I really enjoyed this video but I am recovery from back surgery and shot this exact rifle and took 15 shots and I did not feel it at all in my shoulder or back
@ I’m loving it so far and yes could be more sore with less clothes. I loved the video and it helped me feel comfortable with the rifle before firing it. Keep it up
Now just replace that factory trigger spring with one from Mountain Tactical, put the set screw out so that it touches the bolt head of the trigger mount screw which is the lightest pull the trigger can achieve, and you'll be set.
Get the muzzle threaded. It will reduce the actual recoil. The pad just makes it feel softer whereas the muzzle brake will actually reduce the amount of recoil the gun gives.
Hey thanks for the suggestion. I don't mind the set up now with the limbsaver actually. Still shoots accurate and doesn't make the rifle any louder with a muzzle break. Unfortunately we are not allowed to use surpresers for hunting in my area...
Yep I think so as long you find the fitting mag. It's a detachable mag, so you can put whatever fitting one you find. However there are some regulations here in Canada that might limit that.
That's what my best friend went with. He got the one with the laminated stock in 30-06. You won't regret the purchase. I regret not spending the money 12 years ago when they just over $1000 CAD. Their build quality is awesome.
@@LuRanOutdoors yeah I regret not getting one when I was getting my first rifle. I ended up getting the ruger American all-weather in .308. I paid about half the price of a tikka. It is a good budget rifle. Overall I've been happy. But when I had the chance to shoot my buddies tikka I was blown away at how much better of a rifle it was. Tikka's fit and finish is awesome. I just wish they would thread their stainless barrels. My next rifle I want the ability to add a muzzle break.
I'm worried about this channel. Who will carry on in case of an accident. Is there a Luran Jr. or Lurana in the works? Cuz the world needs more of Luran.
Nice clothing line. Maybe you could talk textiles like polyester, lambs wool, merino, Alpaca, down etc and how to be comfortable in outdoor paradise. And anything that blocks wind. 😂
I have the limbsaver on all of my Tikkas. Just don't store your rifle upright on that recoil pad. They are so soft they can deform over time if you store the rifle like you would in a gun safe.
True Fact. I found out with the T3X I just got. Without sounding like bragging I got my 6.5 Creedmoor shooting half MOA at 200 yds. with Federal Premium ammo with Berger bullets. Never experienced that with only running a half a box through a brand new rifle. Only cleaned before shooting the first round and again after 10 rounds.
@@LuRanOutdoorsno cold hammer forged barrel needs to be broken in regardless of who produced it. Next time you zero fire one round from a solid rest like a led sled or bags. Put your rifle back on the bullseye and move turrets on scope to center them on the bullet hole in target. Readjust for the bullseye and shoot again. It’ll save you a ton of ammo. You can fine tune after that.
Thanks, I have a Tikka in 300 win mag. I was going to have the barrel threaded, but I ordered the limbsaver recoil pad first. Have a great day!
How is the recoil now with just the new pad? Thinking about a 3006.
Can't even feel it anymore now!
Good to know….just ordered for my tikka 300wm. Didn’t even shoot it yet, but it comes with muzzle break.
Wondering now much recoil I’ll have with muzzle break and limbsaver
@RoshamboOutdoors yeah it would be interesting to know. let us know when you try it out!!

That's awesome!!! I'm sure you'll love the new Tikka!! Thanks so much for commenting and subscribing!! Cheers!!!
Nice demo and great upgrade with the Limbsaver
Thanks very much!!! Happy ice fishing this year!! Good luck out there!!
@@LuRanOutdoors the holes on the pad are so small? Just use a regular phillips head screwdriver?
@rainsong7327 yeah I used a smaller one, so I don't damage the rubber on the pad.

what did it cost to get it threaded and the muzzle break?

@LuRanOutdoors ok Thanks
@dickeymoore3662 no problem sir
considering same rifle in stainless steal. 308. not sure about optics yet though
Great choice! I wish I had gotten the stainless steel one tbh. You will like it!!!

Knock on wood there won't be any accidents happening to me... lol
Interesting. The Lite Version is said to have a more robust recoil pad than the Superlight, maybe not quite the case..
It is very robust and quality made. But not very soft at all. Very stiff.
Thanks for the info. @@LuRanOutdoors
@@lewisgl of course! No problem!!

For sure! Would be awesome to have a clothing line in the future!!
Hi luran im from sasketchewan estevan. Where is that shooting range?
Hi there! This is by Regina!
How much does this rifle cost im thinking about getting one?😮
I got it for 1000 canadian I believe
@LuRanOutdoors ok Thanks
@@dickeymoore3662 no worries! They go on sale often too at cabelas and bass pro

@dickeymoore3662 amzn.to/3WeZssZ
Here's the link for the scope. Unfortunately it doesn't come without rings and I forgot which ones I'm using...
I have the limbsaver on all of my Tikkas. Just don't store your rifle upright on that recoil pad. They are so soft they can deform over time if you store the rifle like you would in a gun safe.
That's awesome!! Great to know! Thanks very much for the heads up, I'm going to go move that rifle rightnow. Haha
@@LuRanOutdoors Mine are stored barrel down or in a soft case sidelying
@derekmcmurry cool cool!! Thanks for letting me know!!!
Very light recoil on the 308 win or no recoil
With the limbsaver you can barely feel it. However, the factory stock you do feel it quite a bit with thin clothing.
Look at backfire recoil pads
I'm extremely happy with the limbsaver that I got. Would also recommend!
Great your self a limb saver pad
I would 100 percent recommend
Use some wireless mics so we can hear properly when you are away from the camera
Thanks for the suggestion. I am accepting mic donations, let me know if you got one for me.
Is there a compensator for these? Like a bolt on one? Or do u have to make a thread
Unfortunately it doesn't have that. And it's none threaded barrow for this one.
Tikka Rifle $2499.00
Ammo Used 50c box
What model?
@@antoneburbidge7828 haha I was thinking the same tbh...
Its actually like $700-$900 rifle
@antoneburbidge7828 yeah probably 7-900 in usd. In Canada it's around 1000-1200 cad.
