[QUOTE="cohunt, post: 1754247, member: 94491"] the XPR has a single stack drop mag, has anyone messed with cutting a slot/window out on a bolt action drop mag for longer loading??? I do this all the time on the ar-15 and ar-10 chassis metal mags--see pic below [IMG]https://cdn3.volusion.com/ojrwt.gjzsn/v/vspfiles/photos/CB-PRI-Mod-Mag-3T.jpg?v-cache=1517913328[/IMG] if the poly drop mag for the xpr allows 2.995", then if you slotted the front of the mag, I bet you could get 3.05", maybe more? thus getting you close to the "ideal" 3.1" length needed for the 215 bergers --this may be another option for getting a long loading short action--Tikka has longer actions and you can change the mag and bolt stop but dang it, they have the strange 1:11 twist for the .308 calibers which is not ideal for the longer/higher BC bullets above 200 grains [/QUOTE]
