    It is not the caliber, it is the fact that you are trying to build a single rifle...

    P.S. my vote still goes for 7mm Rem Mag. If you want a single multi-purpose hunting / LR gong gun - that's the ticket IMHO.

    There you go , the can reduces recoil ,noise & resulting muzzle flip & need for pain relief
    Gun control means using both hands

    Sure does. The funny thing is my shoulder was black and blue the day I bought mine too. This thread takes me back quite a few years

    Maybe a 280 Rem / 7* 64 (both 7mm cals)wouldn't recoil so hard but still put out a 139 gn or 150 gn at 2900 plus with good BC and accuracy and capable of getting a 160 grain out there very quick if needed. Sure, it's a slightly heavier medium 30-06 length action, but a cartridge well proven and all components readily available. No issues with bullet lengths or mag fit. Still around 10lbs plus, weight though to prevent the shooter getting knocked around too much.
    Sorry, Woody. It seems pointless to compare to different cases if you limit the comparison to pushing the same projectile at the same velocity.

    The 7mmRemMag will out perform the 284Win ballistically - it can throw the same weight projectile at a higher velocity. The compromise is in what you gain in wind drift and hitting energy vs the increased cost and the recoil. As most of my hunting shots are taken at relatively short ranges i feel the RemMag is a bit of overkill. I am a fan of using one projectile for everything (short and long range... hunting and target shooting) and i think the 284Win would be a good compromise for this (162Amax, 168Berger, 168LRAB, etc). Recoil can be tamed with suppressor or even better a muzzle brake - again both are compromises, the suppressor can over balance a rifle and a brake in the bush can be real loud. Sure the 7mmRemMag will be better at longer distances but a 338 would be better again... everything is a compromise...

    Sure, I am a big fan of efficiency though - down loading a calibre isn't an efficient use of that case capacity in my opinion. Also I like a reasonably full case to ensure good powder distribution and ignition without making a flame thrower.

    Again, what ever floats your boat...

    Fair comment Gillie. I was only referring to recoil for the most part; thinking more of small stature shooters rather than case comparisons.
    No worries mate

    many years ago I got a near new .270win (Winchester mod 70 lightweight) and very soon developed a major flinch although didn't know it at time just couldn't shoot for shit.
    I did three things
    replaced the thin hard red rubber buttplate
    got rid of Norma 150grn ammo went down to 130s
    fixed trigger pull down to 3lb from the factory set...find deer, dig post hole,wire rifle to post, hook D8 onto trigger and start pulling hoping it will fire before dozer stalls......
    haven't looked back since
    yes .270 will bruise shoulder...we call em "love bites"
    have now added GW Spartan and its tamed rifle down to extent that it is like .223 to shoot,and now Im trying out 150s again
    STOCK STD t3 1000 yard target rifle...anyone for a TUI??????

    be patient with it

    Do what the lads say and get a decent recoil pad fitted, and try the ammo again [ after the shoulder settles down].

    Use plugs or earmuffs or both when if your not alread when your on the range, believe me it helps.

    As a rule neither the 270 or the Tikka are inherently inaccurate so if it doesn't shoot with that particular ammo I reckon it will with something else.
    I've occasionally found a stainless barrel can sometimes take awhile to settle and what is a 1.4 group today straight from the box with out any mods could easily become sub moa after 60-100 rds and a bit of tinkering :ie your supressor and a recoil pad.
    Be patient and work through it.
    The joys of a brand new rifle mate.
    Like Jackwire says exercise some patience with your rife.......you have only tried one ammo. I have a 30-06 spr. In a Tikka t3 stainless lite. I have shot about 3 boxes of Hornady 150 gr. American Whitetail and from a rest at 100 yds it groups them approx 1 1/4" at 100 yds. .......sometimes a cloverleaf......sometimes close to 2". It shoots Remington Core Lokts and federal fusion about the same (all lower priced ammo). I have not tried high end ammo in it yet because it is a meat gun. It thumps pretty good because its light, but its a joy to carry.
    p.s. i have 2 Remington m700 stainless in .308win and they both shoot core lokts to 1 " and i have had great success with them.
