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
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.
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!! :)
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!!
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 RU-vid!
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...
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'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.
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 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.
