This guy is really milking this tikka thing.

And others too. They have a right to express an opinion that Adam uses inferior equipment and techniques to provide optimal results. Adam is a public figure and gets paid to be in the publics eye and with that payment, he has to be ready to take criticism and have a tough skin. That's part of the job.

But can’t I have my opinion as well?

Yes sir, we are all entitled to our own opinions. When we voice those thought/opinions on an open forum on the internet, we may receive condemnation or accolades from others who share that open and free forum with us.

All open forums have a dog pile effect. Sometimes they are throwing atta-boys at you and other times they throw dog poop at you. Do I think that people were dog piling negative connotations at Adam? Definitely yes. I think that you saying something slowed the feeding frenzy. Yet there are honest questions about why certain processes are used in Adam's videos when they go against best practices used and taught by the best shooters in the world.

Absolutely! I completely agree.

Believe it or not, I agree with everything you guys have said. I feel that some of his methods aren’t the best, and I personally have a tikka 300wm Superlite that I feel is far and above the vast majority of factory rifles.
But… it’s a two shot rifle, just like most other skinny barrel magnums. I’ve got two other brand rifles that do the same thing.

It’s all good. I’m not upset or mad about any of it.

I am definitely not trying to throw shade here, but I would argue that it isn't a "two-shot" rifle, you are a two-shot shooter with that setup. Just like most people. Of course, people don't want to believe that they are the weak link when it comes to shooting groups with light guns using large cartridges. They want to blame the barrel heating up, or other such nonsense, but in all actuality, it is the shooter adjusting their cheek weld, or hold, or follow-through due to recoil that is causing those groups to open up. And no, a lead sled will not take away that issue unless the rifle is set up flawlessly and tightly, and the sled and rifle are set up exactly the same way each shot.
There is a reason why the 7PRC in the Tikka is getting a rep as not being that accurate. One is that the factory loads are not that great, but the main reason is that it is a light rifle shooting a relatively large cartridge. I would bet that if someone tested a 300WM, a 7RM, and a 7PRC straight out of the box all at the same time, there would be similar results across all three, or at least not enough difference between them all to be statistically significant.

Tikka makes an awesome rifle for sure, but the super lite in heavy caliber isn’t one of them , it has its flaws when it is chambered In 300, 7mm

There are a few other brands that have problems with the heavy caliber stuff
My 375 ruger Remington clone is one of them just not built for those heavy duty ones

He should reviewed the cheaper T3X Lite in 223! Somebody send Adam a true Rockslide Special to review. @WHOTEEWHO

Yeah a 6lbs rifle like that is meant for a small caliber, or something anemic like 308 , 6.5cm , 223
Just to much flex and recoil on such a light weight weapon

The human element is almost always the weak link.
So do you not think that a hot barrel will cause groupings to open up?

As long as the barrel is properly stress relieved, no. Sako/Tikka CHF barrels should not do this.
