I've never had a problem with the OEM magazines in the 3 or 5 round. Unfortunately, Tikka does not make a 5 round magazine for the WSM, but Mountain Tactical soon will have their metal ones in 3 and 5 round. Only thing I'm not sure of on theirs is the hole through the sides and bottom of the magazines. Not sure the reasoning, but it just seems like another way for crud to get in the magazine when in a pocket or if dropped. If they are easy to disassemble, then I guess it isn't as much of an issue.
I received my mountain tactical magazines for my 270win and they have to fix an issue with the magazine. The bolt hits the lips and won’t feed the last round and makes it hard to put in the rifle. I believe they are on the issue and will have a revised version soon.
The magainzes are simple to pull apart which is nice to clean them. Overall great design !
No plastic parts left on my rifle now...just received the new Mcmillan stock for it yesterday
