I've got a Tikka T3 left hand lite in 7mmWM and the recoil is a blast. See what I did there? I don't mind the cheese plastic stock, but I saw at tikkaperformance.com a nice aftermarket stock with a thumb hole option. I've never shot a thumb hole stock and wondered if it would help felt recoil. I really don't mind the recoil as is, but if a TH stock helps, I might as well use it. What do you think? Thanks SH!
