I am doing my final research before pulling the trigger on an XRL Element Chassis. I have read quite a few reviews where people had better luck with a polymer MDT magazine in the XLR chassis. My gun is a 270 Tikka. The only polymer option on the MDT website for a 30-06 is a three round magazine that specifically states it is not compatible with Tikka. I see MDT makes a 5 round metal magazine in .560 that is the same size as the 30-06 magazine recommended on the XLR website. Does anyone know if I am better off ordering the one from XLR or MDT?

There is only one manufacture at this time of our knowledge making the 3.560 length AICS magazine for tikka long action chassis and that is MDT. So the magazines we sell are those magazines that you will need for the chassis. So, wherever you purchase the magazine, it will be the same magazine.

They are not making a 3 round in that length, unfortunately. The reviews you are speaking of must be either different actions or are for short action tikka chassis, which have a short action magwel, not the 3.56, so there are different options.

Thanks for the info.
