When they start making them for a long action let me know. None of my big game hunting rifles are on a short action. I have no idea why Hawkins would release short action before long action when they are aimed towards hunting rifles

They actually have started making them and I've got some on order. The LA Mag has to be used with their LA Hunter BM. And no other Mag will work in their LA Hunter BM FYIWhen they start making them for a long action let me know. None of my big game hunting rifles are on a short action.

Thanks for the info. I wanted one for my next build when I was gathering parts a while back and saw the LA Hunter on the Hawkins site, but nobody had them in stock. Called Hawkins and at the time they didn't even know when they were gonna start making them. Good to hear they are finally coming aroundThey actually have started making them and I've got some on order. The LA Mag has to be used with their LA Hunter BM.

What do you plan on building? They said they won't work with belted cartridges. Right now they have 2 LA mags for 300PRC/28Nosler type cartridges and 300Norma type cartridges.Thanks for the info.

I'm still waiting on my reamer from JGS so there's still hope!
This will be my 3rd 300 Norma Mag Improved.What do you plan on building? They said they won't work with belted cartridges. Right now they have 2 LA mags for 300PRC/28Nosler type cartridges and 300Norma type cartridges.
PM sentDo you have a Hunter BM for short action (standard .308)? I need the BM and magazine.
Also, any idea if I can just swap out my existing M5 from Hawkins without needing to do anything special?
I bought this rifle with the Hawkins M5 BM....and I really prefer a flush fit. I know they fit the same, but I've never removed and/or replaced BM.
Regardless, I'll take it if u have it.
thanks
