We haven't had too much feedback yet from customers but you should be good to go! In the rare instance you do have any issues, AICS magazines are very easy to tune and should only take a couple of minutes to do so! Most long actions do not require this though! We have had guys testing the feeding in custom actions with 3.850 and they have had good results!
I have this setup. No issues with feeding thus far.
I don't think that's going to work well. The problem is going to be feed lip width as well as shoulder location. On my 3.56" mags I bent the feed lips to 0.475" which works well for my 284 Win and seems to be good for 7mm RM. But that's way too wide for 6.5 CM. In addition the mag crimp that guides the shoulder seems too far forward to keep 6.5 CM from hitting the bullet tips on the front of the mag.
The best way to do it is always to run the short action cartridges in a short action chassis so you can use magazines designed for that caliber. If you wanted to save money up front and use them both in the same chassis then you will want to run a 300 WM magazine for the 7 Rem mag, and a 3006 magazine for the 6.5 CM. With the 3006 mag you will most likely have to tune the feed lips a little so it will feed correctly.

Awesome! This is all coming together nicely.

You could also try making a spacer kit to fill the back of the magazine. This would require some modifications but I have heard of customers doing it. It would be the same concept as a BR spacer kit in short action magazines (link below).

Shooting 6BR or one of the 6BR improved calibers has become extremely popular in practical/tactical matches over the last few years. They are easy to load
Remember with chassis you can always swamp components back and forth quickly. If you want to hunt with the 7 mag and train with the 6.5 Creedmoor then get the long action chassis set up exactly how you want it and buy an additional short action chassis block. Then you can swap the buttstock and grip over to your trainer chassis and you will only be out an additional $375 for aluminum or $575 for magnesium.
Pretty certain it won’t, see the bottom of this thread:

10-4, that's what I needed. I spent at least 30 minutes trying to find the answer to this. Finding answers on forums is some sort of acquired skill...thank you.Pretty certain it won’t, see the bottom of this thread:
Chassis Rifle Tikka vs Rem Clone
I know this has been discussed before, but wanted some input from you guys before I pull the trigger on a new set up. Originally I had planned to put my tikka 300 win mag in an XLR chassis and maybe rebarreling to a 7prc or 6.5prc. After doing some research on Tikka and the aics magazine...
The chassis pages are down right now because of our web host running some updates that basically made our custom coding not work. We are currently working on getting the website back up and running!
So what size Xlr chasis did you order LA or SA? I have a Xlr tikka chasis and if I don’t have to buy a new one for a LA that would be great.
There is actually only 1 size Tikka XLR chassis. And, this will fit any tikka t3 action whether its from a .223 or 300Win mag. etc
What are you talking about? Maybe the action screws are the same, but the mag wells differ greatly, that's what they list T1x, short action, and long action separately.
