First Time Shooting Tikka T3X Lite in 308WIN (LimbSaver A Game Changer)

In this video, I test out my new Tikka T3X Lite Bolt-action Rifle chambered in 308 Winchester, for the first time. This is a light weight rifle, shooting a not so light round. The out of the box kick was not unnoticeable. However, I was able to found the perfect solution to the recoil issue with the help of a LimbSaver Recoil Pad.

Thanks, I have a Tikka in 300 win mag. I was going to have the barrel threaded, but I ordered the limbsaver recoil pad first. Have a great day!

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.

Nice demo and great upgrade with the Limbsaver

[@LuRanOutdoors]

Thanks very much!!! Happy ice fishing this year!! Good luck out there!!

[@rainsong7327]

@@LuRanOutdoors the holes on the pad are so small? Just use a regular phillips head screwdriver?

[@LuRanOutdoors]

@rainsong7327 yeah I used a smaller one, so I don't damage the rubber on the pad.

great video thanks

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

[@LuRanOutdoors]

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!! :)

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.

[@LuRanOutdoors]

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.

[@rainsong7327]

I think they all come with steel recoil blocks now.

[@LuRanOutdoors]

Oh really??! That's brutal.. haha

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 KZbin!

[@LuRanOutdoors]

That's awesome! Thanks for watching and the comments my fellow tikka fan!! Cheers my friend!!

[@joelodjick230]

[@LuRanOutdoors]

@joelodjick230 thanks so much sir!!!

[@woodsfamily1986]

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

[@LuRanOutdoors]

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!!

[@lyndonmaurer14]

[@rodneypantony3551]

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. 😂

[@LuRanOutdoors]

For sure! Would be awesome to have a clothing line in the future!!

[@derekmcmurry]

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.

[@LuRanOutdoors]

That's awesome!! Great to know! Thanks very much for the heads up, I'm going to go move that rifle rightnow. Haha

[@derekmcmurry]

@@LuRanOutdoors Mine are stored barrel down or in a soft case sidelying

@derekmcmurry cool cool!! Thanks for letting me know!!!

Hi luran im from sasketchewan estevan. Where is that shooting range?

Hi there! This is by Regina!

[@commenting4love]

considering same rifle in stainless steal. 308. not sure about optics yet though

[@LuRanOutdoors]

Great choice! I wish I had gotten the stainless steel one tbh. You will like it!!!

[@rodneypantony3551]

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.

[@LuRanOutdoors]

Knock on wood there won't be any accidents happening to me... lol

[@stuartnash4563]

Very light recoil on the 308 win or no recoil

[@LuRanOutdoors]

With the limbsaver you can barely feel it. However, the factory stock you do feel it quite a bit with thin clothing.

[@MrQuickResponse]

Use some wireless mics so we can hear properly when you are away from the camera

[@raw_meat2871]

Is there a compensator for these? Like a bolt on one? Or do u have to make a thread

[@LuRanOutdoors]

Unfortunately it doesn't have that. And it's none threaded barrow for this one.

[@daleyoud6836]

Tikka are made by sako and say the barrel doesnt need to be broken in..

[@LuRanOutdoors]

Oh really... interesting. Good to know. Thanks for your comment!
