Tikka improved the recoil pad on the T3X I think.

The Popes fav Pigeon Gun - just enough oomph to knock em over. Yeah apparently the T3x has a slightly softer recoil pad, not that that would be a drama anyway with a 243 as they don't really kick that much, nor does the 308 for that matter, lighter projies are fine, heavier will result in more felt recoil of course but again no big deal in either of those cals.

BFS, I have been busy with work so only just got a chance to zero in my 243 T3.
After 4 shots to sight in the next 3 shots were in a 22mm group at 100m.
That was with factory 70gr HP Winchester ammo, a warm barrel, some moderate wind... plus I think I pulled the last one a bit .
If i get another rifle the T3x will be near the top of the list
