Tikka 300WSM Long Action Questions

[Belton 45]

Looking into building a 300wsm on a long action Tikka, for longer OAL. Going in a HNT26 stock and currently have a MDT 300WM for Tikka.

I have read that the feed lips can be manipulated on the 300WM mag to get this to feed the 300WSM. Anyone ever got this to work??

or maybe someone makes a spacer/follower kit for that mag? Just a thought.

Hawkins makes spacer kits

Looked into this myself on Rockslide and it sounded like the 300wm mags will work with some tuning

Pretty sure the MDT 300 WM magazines will work, they work for a 7 saum. Waters mags with a tikka BM worked the best.

You can also use a CTR mag if you bend the feed lips out a little bit, that gives you about 2.97”. That may or may not be enough length depending on the bullet. If that’s enough you can run the 300 WSM in a KRG Bravo or a factory CTR stock.

I’ve used CTR mag for 6.5 PRC with great results and it will hold seven rounds

The dilemma I have is throating it out to about 3.1”. Might end up getting a different stock to maybe run “medium” magazines. Still waiting on barreled action from gunsmith to test with the 300WM magazines.
