Tikka sort action in a MTN26 long

[bard]

curious what the difference is on the MTN 26 MDT chassis between a short and long action. Found a good deal on a long action chassis but want it to fit a short action tikka.

It won't affect the action but it will affect what magazine you can use.

So just need to buy short action mags if I drop a short action tikka in a long action chassis?

No. Long action stock = long action magazine. Different sized hole.

Tikka mags are the same dimension for all cartridges, that’s why stocks that take them work for all cartridges. HNT26 don’t use tikka mags, they use AI mags. AI pattern mags are different sizes in long and short action.

action and magazine is the same for la and sa tikka on the short action calibers the just but a little filler piece in the back of the magazine.
