Tikka bottom metal

[gazzar15]

Could somebody please tell me what bottom metal I could use on a magnum action T3 varmint to utilise AI mags?

Thanks

Valkarie rifles (Baldie on the forum) have their own T3 bottom metal that accept AICS mags. There is a link to his website on the home page.

Thanks mate I had a peek.....only non magnum calibres though .Do Tikka do a metal alternative to those horrible plastic magazines?

There isn't a AI mag system that works in the tikka in long action mate. We'll other than a chap who's name cannot be mentioned on here from Germany who is selling velore mags to use in the t3 but there silly money!! I want to change the plastic trigger guard on my 6.5 sweede to the alutek aluminium ones that use the standard plastic mags. I don't mind the standard mags but detest the plastic bottom metal/ trigger guard!

I,ve never done a true long action one as its very rare anyone asks for them to be honest. I think there are some on the bay. everyone and there granny is making T3 bits at the moment. Some good, some bad.

 

remember that you only have two magazine options in L/A though. .300wm and .338. The .300wm will accept a few different cases with adjustment, but not all.
