Which tikka flush mag for 6.5 prc

Anyone have a picture of the beretta mag installed?

As mentioned, I printed off on of the PRC mags to see how it fit in my rifle.

The design prints really nicely in the right orientation, no supports needed.


The length is right for the long and heavy bullets.

However, when using the factory PRC mag spring the sidewalls bulge out a bit from the extra pressure. This makes the magazine hard to fit into the well and sometimes the rounds will start coming out of the feed lips

I think this is due to the longer spring in the 4rd mag. I think the design would work just fine with a 3rd mag spring.View attachment 877722
I only have the one mag for my rifle, but I might pick up an L mag and see how the spring from that works.

I used the factory spring, bent the last coil out to the same length as a 3 rd spring and snipped the remaining off and it works perfectly. Been using it for nearly a year and have enough rounds through it to be confident with it. No issues feeding. Yes it old fits two but I love these flush mags.

Edit to add I’m using the factory follower

So are you guys using the short action mags in the link, or the long action mags for your tikka stocks (super varmint specifically if it matters)? It appears Mountain Tactical is making these for Beretta, MT's website says the short action mags wont work for 6.5 PRC. Trying to verify what will work and what wont as I know 6.5 PRC has mag/loading issues, and tikka actions have issues with certain chassis so, going with both appears to be an exercise in frustration, I am trying to avoid. Thank you for the help. Trying to decide on a Super Varmint, or ACE Game in 6.5 PRC.

FYI, ended up releasing those mags I mentioned earlier as a complete magazine with spring. Both in truly flush (2rd) and a 3rd variant. @Foster_65 has some of the final / released flush fit.

I am going to start a new thread to consolidate information and ask that the old thread when this was a hypothetical project still be closed. I will add in photos and update these first couple posts as needed.

The intention of this thread is to talk about the product and not to coordinate sales.
Use the classified listing when it is created or email me at [email protected] in the meantime.

So what length of your mags would you utilize for the 6.5 prc? The prc length, or the L length? I will not be reloading and using factory ammo and coal. Thank you for chiming in, and bringing this to the masses. Good on you! Ski
