Thread: Tikka 3 lite 270

@ 18 and almost full size I was more comfy firing a 270 than the 303 due to stock shape and recoil etc. That dirty old lee kicked like a .... what have you used and what are you used to? You shouldnt have a blue shoulder from factory ammo

5.56 in the army 14 years ago. Just bought a .22 a few months ago but nothing in between.
I am a big guy, 98kg, and that's not fat either, and ex army heavyweight boxer back in the day, so no stranger to pain.
So I feel like a big pussy whinging about the kick of a rifle.
I think maybe the 4th shot really cracked me one, would have been me not holding the rifle properly, cause the first few weren't that painful but after about the 4th shot it was pretty shit, I was dreading every shot after that to be honest.
Which of course probably would have affected my groupings.
