Newer shooter with questions

You’ve stated multiple times that the blast from your 270 bothers you. Get rid of the brake and get yourself a decent suppressor. It’ll eliminate enough of the blast to make it comfortable to shoot and reduce recoil plenty on a 270. Also, there’s a reason people call the tikka 223 combo the rokslide special, cause it works.
You can also pick up a t3x stock and drop your t3 into it. Hell, if you pay shipping I’ll give you one. Replace the recoil pad, add vertical grip and a decent can and you’ve got a fine hunting rifle for anything in NA. Used stocky’s vg stocks are also pretty solid for what they cost. Don’t overthink this.

OP, you need to be on this yesterday. That's a deal on a stock.

As the above post says, multiple times you've mentioned it and multiple times folks have offered the sound advice to get rid of the brake. It's been said the brake is the issue by people who have years of experience with them and have been around them for decades in the shooting community. .270 Win doesn't have hardly any recoil with a brake. And personally it doesn't have that much recoil without a brake either.

Here's a cheap and easy hack. Remove the brake, tape up the threads to protect them with electrical tape. Head to the range and shoot any number of shots and come back to report what you experience and the difference between braked and non-braked.

I hate brakes, they make my teeth rattle it seems. Yep, get rid of the brake and it won't be as bad to shoot. Still won't be able to spot your shots, but that is not the end of the world.
