Hey Jordon,

Don't fire a tikka light in 300 WM without a brake – just my advice

It will kick like a mule and a brake will make things way more manageable.

I've actually found my Tikka Lite .300 to be quite manageable without the brake and I'm an average sized guy. I do plan to add one though. To clarify, I'm also not shooting dozens and dozens of rounds – which… Read more

Thanks for the replies and suggestions!
