MDT HNT26 magazines

[Bater]

Anybody running a long action/magnum bolt face Tikka in a MDT HNT26 chassis? I’m blown away that this heavy 5 round AICS mag is my only option for a chassis that is designed specifically for hunters. I cannot believe no one makes a flush magazine for this. Sounds like that is an option for 308 based cartridges? I feel like a tactical mall ninja with a Creedmoor and a flat bill.  Anyone with any ideas or better options, I am all ears.

Have Kinport cut it down

Oh damn, didn’t even know that was an option. What’s the rough price for having one done? You can p.m. if you’d rather not post it.

Thanks a bunch!

I have good luck with the mdt poly 3rd mags....saves about 27 pounds.

I’m not sure, he was around $100 I think , I've done them myself but Kinport does a great job I’ve heard

Don’t think they make them for the tikka 3.560 ?

Yeah, sure wish they made those for a LA. Also I don’t think it saved you quite 27lbs

Shit...I missed that part.

Better rattle that cage. The poly mags are great.

Yeah I just assumed they would be an option. Didn’t find out until after I already purchased the chassis that options were so limited. Hoping they come out with something sooner or later.
