Aftermarket Tikka Magazine PRC, SAUM, WSM platforms

Would be nice to feed long seated 80gr ammo from the magazine.

Have you guys looked into the kiwi (or aussie?) magazine options for 223?

I have researched a few options but stop when I see the capacity, I don't have a need for 10 rounds hanging out the bottom of my bolt action hunting rifle.

Are there any 5 round options? Kiwi stuff is good but if I had a choice I'd rather send Mike my money.

I'd be interested if it actually clips in and isn't loose in the rear...

What Kiwi longer OAL magazines are there?!?!? Ive never seen any

Sorry, they are Aussie mags. Interesting options if you're looking for higher capacity magazines and ok with spending $$. I prefer Mike's direction here though.

They look like quality magazines but $160 each + shp from Australia makes my head hurt.

Getting closer!

Hope to be testing and tuning feed lips in the next 2 weeks.ag bodies are machined, bottom plates are cut. Have to machine followers and still waiting for springs to show up!

Unfortunately no. We’re planning a fairly decent run of mags first then will R&D a bottom metal. Magazines are quite a bit tougher than the bottom metal so they should go quickly.

Really important to get the feed lips and spring tuned right so we have smooth loading and feeding. Bottom metal is the easy part.

I’m in for two, should be great for PRC and SAUM cases!

I'd be interested in a couple. I've been using a factory Tikka 300 wsm magazine that I modified for longer rounds. Works but it's not perfect.

 

[DangerRanger]

Mags are pretty much the only reason I haven’t built a tikka yet. So this mag is going to cost me dearly!

I’m thinking a 300wsm with 215s will be a sweet NA hunting rifle.

Can't wait for this! I see a 7mm SAUM build in my future.

They’re coming together. We’ve got to change the front corner radius a bit. Factory bottom metals actually squeeze in .005-.010” when torqued into a variety of stocks. First mag body design slips easily into a bottom metal mag well when it’s sitting on a bench. Torque it into a stock and it binds up in half the stocks. It’s a stock inlet problem.

I’ve had factory mags bind up in both McMillan and AG stocks (just got in a few from Mesa Precision). Fixed the issue by bedding the bottom metal but we don’t want customers to have to do that to make these mags work so we’re adjusting the front corners a touch.

We’re getting closer. Have probably 70ish mags that will be in the first run of anodizing with a second run coming in 4-6 weeks after. Planning on getting a pre-order up after the holiday weekend!

These might push me over the edge towards a tikka build. Heck I might get on the preorder even if the rifle build doesn’t happen soon.

Now the dilemma: 7 SAUM, 300 wsm, or 338 Sherman max
