I am using the Tikka LA mags and I’m loaded at standard OAL. 162 eldX at 2920fps out of a 22” Bartlein #13. Little heavy for a hunting build but it just under 11lbs scoped without bipod. NX8 4-32 with Grayboe stock.Unrelated, I'd be interested in hearing about the Tikka 280 AI build. I know the 3.3" AI doesn't have much play in the Tikka LA mags (~3.34").
