Hey all. Been lurking for awhile just joined. I’m sure this has been discussed but I’m looking to purchase a Tikka T3X Roughtech Ember in .300 WM. Anyone have any experience with this particular model (not necessarily cartridge)? I think it’s a sweet gun and it suits my needs. Any feedback? Upgrades or changes I should consider?
 
I really like mine. Started off adding a vert grip. But changed it to a Stocky's VG stock. I have a 6.5 and a 300 win Roughtech. Both are now in Stocky's stocks and shoot lights out. So far I haven't found anything that they don't shoot awesome. Mine likes the 200 grain ELDX and the Terminal Ascent.

I'm using UM Tikka rings on both with the UM levels.

I have 2 RT Embers, one in .308 and one in 300WSM.

I load Berger 208 LRHTs over N555 and recently made hits on 36” steel plates at a mile.

I adjusted the triggers slightly and put orange vertical grips on both. Otherwise they are factory stock.

What’s your preference for the WSM over the WM? I don’t reload (yet), so I’m choosing .300 WM for availability of factory ammo and the energy downrange for larger game.
 
I have one in 6.5PRC, shooter out of the box. My favorite model tikka makes right now for a hunting rifle anyways.

I can’t really say it’s a preference thing but since Tikkas are cartridge length limited, and I knew I wanted to use a throating reamer to seat the Bergers out a bit for better bullet placement within the case, the 300WM wouldn’t allow me to seat the 208 or 215 Hybrids where I wanted them. So I bought the 300 WSM, used a throating reamer to lengthen a little, put a long bolt stop in and use Hells Canyon mags and accomplished what I wanted to.
 
If you aren’t set on the thicker barrel you can get the roughtech super lite for 1k and that’s stainless and cerakoted. I have on in 300 and its nice.

what’s the recoil like in .300 with the super light?

Just sighted it in today. 3130 with barnes 150 ttsx in a 20 inch barrel. I have an apa brake on and the recoil was not bad. Felt less than or similar to a .243 without a brake.

I have a Tikka T3X in 6.5 cm. I like the gun, but the barrel seems to get hot too quickly. It is a thin barrel.
