Tikka 223 magazine

[Schmo]

I currently have a 10 round 2.6” Waters mag, and it works well! However, I’m not fond of the 10 round for hunting use. It’s great for range time when shooting groups and such. I have a Gen 2 MT mag en route. I’ll report back with how that works.

Not related to the factory bottom metal but I saw MDT came out with a poly 12 round 223 AICS pattern mag now as well which is pretty cool. I’ll probably grab one if I decide to keep my 223 in the bravo.

Maybe a dumb question but…. Could a bottom metal be made to fit a tikka that could use the Sako 75/85/90 flush fit double stack mags? I’d gladly pay what those mags cost if they would work in a tikka. I realize the Sako is a 3 lug and tikka is a two so it might never work. @Salmon River Solutions @Formidilosus

A flush 6 round mag would be nice
Stocks would need to be relieved for the fatter magazine
The tikka is a center feed, sako staggered. Probably need to modify the tikka action
Then your bolt would need to be altered for the staggered mag
Custom bottom metal
Custom bottom metal stock inlet
Probably cheaper to buy a complete sako rifle

Thanks for the elaboration, more trouble than it’s worth.

Well I’ve never tried it either.
Suppose it could be done by someone with the know how
Then you have the issue of 85s magazines. How long will sako be making magazines for the 85 and the ones available are $150
