My 10c worth. it quite a light rifle, rapid fire with will heat the barrel and that will affect accuracy, the stock shape is probably not ideal for bench shooting Ive shot a t3 in one of the laminated sporter thumbholes and it was a dream, added a bit of weight 270 is a good hunting round but doesn't tick many boxes for long range target shooting where 308, 300 winmag will leave it for dead.
Been here done this limb saver and supressor and most felt recoil will vanish. Best factory ammo i found was the 130 grain soft point norma. Mine sprayed sst all over town. Now reloading for it and it shoots well. Not at 1000
You may want to consider a brake? A suppressor will certainly reduce felt recoil a bit but nowhere near as much as a brake.
For target shooting the heat build up of a few shots threw a suppressor and the resulting mirage can be frustrating.
Member Kiwi Greg has designed a range of very effective brakes at reasonable prices.

"Hunting and fishing" fucking over licenced firearms owners since ages ago.
308Win One chambering to rule them all.
Make sure the barrel is free floating. I had a problem with my t3 not being up to scratch out of the box and it turned out the barrel was touching the stock. Apparently it's quite common.
To test it, grab a piece of normal writing paper and run it under the barrel between the barrel and stock. It should be able to slide all the way up. If it doesn't, you will need to remove it from the stock and file the plastic stock braces back a millimetre or so. Easy fix. My t3 went from 1.5 @ 100m to 1.5 @ 200m.
As others have said, experiment with different ammo too. Nothing wrong with Tikkas or 270s. A lot of people seem to dislike one or the other, or often both, but tastes in rifles and calibres are as subjective as tastes in women. At the end of the day, if you find one you like and that works for you, go with it.
I endorse the limbsaver and suppressor option. But that would be my recommendation regardless of make and caliber if you're target shooting at 1000y as firing more than a few shots through any calibre capable of hitting that far will make you flinch eventually.
Why-o-why do people listen to salespeople, their job is to sell you something...you need to know all your information before you step into the shop...as for a .270 shooting 1000 metres...yeah sure, it will do it but the elevation needed makes you look like you are shooting at the moon.
If you are going to bomb off a lot of rounds in one go, try using the other shoulder to take some of the shit...a .270 is the worst shoulder fucking round there is.
I have had a .270 and it wouldn't shoot the ranges (hunting) I wanted so had a magnum built, I couldn't believe it has less recoil than that .270
What I use to take some of the recoil out when having a bomb up is a piece of that dense foam from a sleeping mat...works a treat...and double ear protection, as mentioned above, of ear plugs and muffs.
Most recoil from a .270 is in the noise it makes...before going down the suppressor trail, try the above.
Which is worse, ignorance or apathy...I don't know and don't care.
This thread is hilarious
Did you change tact? In other posts you wanted a target rifle and you got this? You going hunting a bit now? Just leave this for deer and get a better suited rifle for target shooting 1000 like an f class type etc
Just go see what guys actually use at 1000 yards and take there advice. It's a specialist game. I've tried to shoot a t3 270 at 1000 it is not easy!!
