What is the longest you COAL you can fit in a Tikka T3 Lite in .308 win and still fit in the mag box and have it chamber (assuming you don't hit the rifling). I'm sure they are mag box limited and no way to get to the lands other than to single feed them (super handy in a Tikka wink )

Luke, I think you'll have about 2.82" to work with in the T3 SA mags. Wouldn't be tough to buy a LA mag and a LA bolt stop.

LA mags are available but the bolt stop kits are hard to find. Back ordered at Brownell's.

Obey lawful commands. Video interactions. Hold bad cops accountable. Problem solved.
