I just bought a tikka t3 varmint in 223. I had and sold the same rifle in 22-250 because i couldnt see y hits while shooting. The stock on these rifle are the only problems i can see. The stock is lite and it cause the rifle to bounce around when shooting. I know the 223 will have a little less recoil, but i am still concerned about it bouncing around. I was thinking if i could fill the stock with some type of material. It would add a little weight and absorb some of the recoil. I dont want it to be to heavy i can hunt with it. Any recommendations as to what to use?? Thanks Lee
