[QUOTE="Idaho Lefty, post: 1434655, member: 104437"] I wouldn't, get "hung up", on the Tikka, "plastic" magazines as they are TOUGH ! The Tikka T3 and T3X's can be modified with, long Bolt stops and the larger .300 Win Mag. "Magnum sized" ones and several after Mkt. Magazines, IF desired. I personally, would look at a "flatter shooting" cartridge than, the .308 Win.,.. with more "Boiler room", if wanting to shoot PAST, 600 yards ! I'd look at something like a, 7 mm Rem Mag, 7 mm RSAUM, the .300 and .270 WSM's and possibly, the 6.5 Creed, 7mm-08 30* Improved or, .260 30* Improved for, the distance you want to shoot and the "inherent accuracy" and reasonable "Drop" of the Cal's listed. Go with a 24 inch Barrel, too ! Spend some Money on "good" optic's and have,.. FUN ! Just MY .02 cents and good luck ! [/QUOTE]
