Tikka mag upgrades

[MT-nuffgun]

Just received a tikka T3x .243 win as a Christmas gift. I plan on reloading 108 eldm’s out of it. I was wondering if there was some way to modify or purchase mags to extend the mag length? I haven’t measured the throat yet to see how far I can seat that bullet out but it doesn’t look like the mag that came with the rifle offers much room length wise when looking at it with factor 95 gr sst’s in it.

The M+ magazines that come with 6.5cm are a little longer and should give you plenty of room

M+ mags are good to go

There’s plenty of room to shoot 108s in the standard mag and multiple options to get longer magazines, probably more than any other rifle offered in 243, and especially if you want an 8 twist

I don't personally have this issue but I've always wondered... couldn't you just Dremel a small amount of the inside wall of the mag? Or is there not enough material to do that and still have stability/rigidity in the mag body?

I've done this with success. Just dremel the plastic back a bit and roll.
