Like those POS Magpul Pmags? The worst AR mags in the world? Those type of POS plastic mags?

The mags are excellent on the T3's.
+1 built like a tank. Far better than the plastic AICS mags I had for 223.
You're quite right. Most pocketable mag in the industry. Rounded like a bar of soap. There's nothing not to like about tikka mags.

Yep, except the price...
Good point! They are ridiculously expensive.
That said, I have 3 Tikkas and only 2 arms, so I've always got 2 extra mags.

At the end of the day, $100 for a quality T3 5-round mag isn't going to break the bank.
I really like the idea of a mag than doesn't bend when dropped, or rust under my sweaty palms.

Yeah it is quality, I bought an extra, but if Sako sold them at $10 they would still make money...
I think based on materials used and with nowadays technologies where it dont take time to make things like before,
$100 for Tikka mag is a bit steep hill. Especially if one has two or three diferent calibers with different action lenght...not like .243 and .308 where in Tikka or Sako you can use same mag...

6.5x55, 30-06, and 300 Win Mag all use the same magazine, which is pretty cool.
Only problem with the Tikka Mag vs AICS is your not gonna get an 80 or 82 gr. bullet to work in the Tikka mag (.223)..they are waay to short. Id say the plastic AI mags are built like a tank..they are very good.
Maybe it is only these two then , can't load 5 rounds in either without fighting with them , can only get 3 then if you fiddle enough sometime the follower will move down further and let you do the other 2 . Had them apart , checked them can't see anything wrong , also have to reach into the action and push the bullet down for it to pick up the next round quite often .
