Tikka t3x super lite 7prc

[Flatland Newbie]

I have been gifted a gun and it is still sitting at Cabela’s, I haven’t picked it up yet. It’s a tikka t3x super lite in 7 prc. 22 inch barrel, Cabela’s special.
I have seen some negative use online as far as accuracy goes.
Have you guys been experiencing any issues with this gun/caliber?
Ultimately politely exchange this rifle to something else if this is one of those guns that just don’t shoot accurately. Alternatively, I was thinking of using MDT chassis and a muzzle brake. But with all the upgrades, we are looking at almost a $3000 gun. For not a lot of extra money I can get something like Viking armament or snowy mountain.

Is the juice worth a squeeze with this Tika?

25+ ft-lbs of recoil in a 6 pound rifle is just a fundamentally bad idea. I suspect most of the reported issues could be explained by that. The factory sporter stock doesn't help, either.

If you're set on 7mm PRC, put it in a heavy enough chassis and I bet it shoots. Or just buy an Ace Game and hang some weights on it.
