[QUOTE="sierrastalker, post: 2792444, member: 125664"] i just built a 280ai off of a 30-06 Tikka. There are several routes you can take to deal with the mag length. I looked at all of them before settling on dropping mine into an MDT chassis. It’s not a super lightweight setup, but that’s not what I was going for and I’ve got more mag length. The MDT AICS mags are built specifically for a Tikka action at 3.560. I’m also not trying to load super heavy bullets, I’m using it as a dual purpose hunting and range rifle, but leaning towards usability in the field hunting. Ultimately the action itself is going to limit you on cartridge length, and there are mods to squeeze a little more out of that, but you have to use a dremel. Anyway, everyone seems really hot on Berger 195’s and if you wanna shoot those you’ll be challenged, but so far I haven’t needed any extra length to get to the lands up to 169g Hammer Hunters. Obviously that’s also going to depend on the barrel you put onto the action. I’m still loading and will hopefully be shooting this weekend, so I can’t give any results, but I already know don’t have any need for additional length because I don’t plan to shoot the really heavy for caliber bullets.
