Im running factory mags. Havent even tried it yet tho !
I tried to find one and they seem to be vapourware...lol...
The Cadex CDX-30 I used to have had a 18.5
Seemed fined all the way out to 500yards with 178 grn. And looking at the NZ forums guys are cutting these back to 16" suppressed and they look amazing. That bottom metal is extremely nice. But the price they sell it for I wouldn't expect any less... The Replacement screws are also worth it.

ah yes I missed that. Just seen the Mtn tactical logo on the trigger guard. Their mags are nice looking but don't work as well as I'd like
DILLAGAF - Since I installed the Mtn Tactical bottom metal I don't have the problem with the factory mags seeming to be locked into place but actually were not (and causing feeding problems).
Only tested at home not in the field but it is quite obvious to me the real metal bottom has sorted it out. I no longer have to rock the mag into place fore and aft to get it to lock properly.

4 mags is my minimum with any of my rifles. Heck I even have 4 mags for my SVT40. The only rifle I have 2 mags for is my Egyptian Rasheed and thats because I havent seen one and from what ive read they are none. I even have 3 for my VZ52/57, I used to have 4 for that one as well but I helped out a guy how didnt have any for his 52/57 and sold one since I have a big heart and he gave me 100$ for it

Me and my buddy go moose and beer hunting every year( he’s retired mil)
We bring at least 100 rnds each with us.. you never know. Ha ha
Late for the party...
You can't go wrong with Tikka's.
I shot few over the years and if you do your party and if you use quality ammo, they will do cloverleaf groups every time at 100m - no upgrades needed. My only suggestion, based on reading thousands of your posts, don't go full retard with upgrades accessories, keep it light!
