In a Tikka stock, I'm assuming?

yes initially but if it means new bottom metal probably not. I've got a bone stock T3 6.5 CM and hope to upgrade factory stock with one with a raised cheek piece and then a chassis as funds come up. am i doing factory mags with factory stock/bottom metal?

FYI i just added this to my first post as well.

EDIT: To anybody reading this, @RedSnake has been great at communicating with me during my purchase troubles. In all fairness his bottom metal description on his site did specifically mention the issue that i've had, and it was in no way because of his product, its because of me trying to adapt a 300winmag AICS mag to work with 7RM. His site also specified this would only work up to 3.5" COAL, which I overlooked probably because of excitement. I hope my posting below didn't give anyone the impression the bottom metal was faulty, i was just looking for more guidance from others that have trouble shot this issue. Thanks,

Did you ever get this issue worked out? I’m having the same issue in my Tikka with a Mesa stock.

kinda, I had a proof barrel chambered in 7rsaum and put that on my tikka action. With factory magazine, I can load as long a bullet as there is without issue.
