New Tikka factory metal magazines

Beretta Performance Magazine for Tikka

Has anyone seen these yet? I'm curious if they allow any more COAL in comparison to the factory plastic ones.

They also show a new "Metal" factory bottom metal. Anyone have any experience with this?

Any news if they except longer COAL rounds?

 

[ChewMT]

I haven't heard anything yet

Well I ordered two. A 3 and 5 round to check the COAL. Could not find the COAL on any forums and Beretta themselves couldn't tell me so I decided to help myself and everyone out by checking

Update. Just got my order and went to checking things out. Set some 7prc rounds at 3.40 COAL. The pictures will show how they fit and that the new Beretta Mags have the longer COAL of 3.4. I tried both 3 and 5 round mags in a 300 WM roughteck and they fit very well. I then tried the new mags in my Pure Precision(Mesa) aluminum bottom metal on my 7prc build and the seem to fit Very well in that also. It appears by looks at least that these are MTN tactical gen 2 magazines with the window in a different place. I have not shot with them yet but They seem to feed well and fit the action well on my 7prc and 300WM. Hope this help you guys out

Excellent report, are you still using the factory bottom plastic or did you upgrade to the new Beretta bottom metal?

 

[belldar]

Still have plastic for now on the roughteck 300WM but have the Pure Precision aluminum BM on the 7PRC. Now wishing I would have ordered the Beretta bottom metal at the same time for the Roughteck

I'm fairly certain I saw a post from mountain tactical at one point hinting about this partnership, both mags and bottom metal looks like MT stuff (and there's a post on MT's facebook with the mag windows moved forward.)

Update: Braved the snow and put around 30 rounds through these mags while sighting/braking in the new 7PRC. The mags are so smooth loading that there where a couple times I had to see if it actually loaded a round. I only seated my rounds to 3.35 but I had plenty of room to go more if I want or need.
