Tikka T3 Magazine question

[freedomintheskies]

Hey Gunners,
I have a Tikka .308 T3 Sporter inbound and I'm wondering which mags will fit it? P-Mags, MDT?

Thanks!

Only factory tikka mags will fit.

Congrats on the rifles by the way. Should be a good shooter.

Unless you go with an aftermarket bottom metal like the one Lumley Arms makes.

Unless the sporter has special mags, either factory or AIHPA from AUS.....

That's a damn nice gun. There's a .260 on the EE that's calling my name.....but I need it like I need hole in head/kick in @ss/snow in January.....

so you changed the entire bottom mag well for the new mags to work ? I am thinking about having alternative mags but how much is the bottom mag well?

About 200$.

Have a look on coretac, they have an entire tikka section.

The bolt shroud and handles are awful nice too....

Once you get the new DBM (detachable bottom metal) you'll need Ana AI mag too, which'll be about 100$.

Need is not a word that should be used in most places on this forum. LOL
KOna, those are some sweet looking rifles! I love the way they look with the 10 round mag. Much less than a target/F-Class gun and more like a "Don't mess with me" sort of build.

Yes you swap the factory bottom metal (bottom) for the Lumley one (top).

I think it was around $300 but it came with a titanium recoil lug, steel pillars for bedding the action and new action screws. It uses AICS mags and feeds decently. Not quite as smooth as the factory tikka mags.

They are.

I have most of the details figured out. Ask before you buy. I take consultation fees in beer.

Buy it!

Mines in 260 and it shoots amazingly well for a factory rifle. Its honestly my favorite rifle to shoot.
