Thread: Tikka t3 ss or Sako a7

As i said above i would suppress it as well. A limbsaver certainly helps but in my experience not nearly as much as a supressor. A suppressor helps reduce recoil by two ways - it adds weight to the rifle and it catches the burnt gunpowder so you can effectively take the weight of the gun powder out of the "equal and opposite" forces. I also think the T3 light rifles benefit from having a little extra weight out the front. Makes them nicer to shoot standing.

Recoils is certainly a funny thing. I can't say i agree with the saying "you won't notice it hunting" how many people have you seen with a cut around theur eye hunting? I would bet they noticed the recoil! Do you think they might remember that next time they fire that rifle?
What about when you sight the rifle in? You might fire quite a few shots to work out what ammunition the rifle likes as well. You have to have confidence in your rifle, your ability to use it and that is sighted in for you. If the recoil is affecting how you sight it in then how confident can you be it is sighted in at all?
