Which AICS mags do you guys prefer in your mountain tactical bottom metal? 300 win mag. Been looking at the accuracy international, and they seem nice, but just wanted to get more opinions.

Recent build coming along nicely... 25 SAUM 23.5” summit contour. Still gotta work up a few finishing touches.

We’re about ready to roll on a little over 30 tikkas. Got actions all disassembled and sorted by chambers. I think I’ve got 17 300wsm’s and 19 6.5 PRC’s with a few Sherman Max’s thrown in and the odd 7mm-08.

Is that the one my reamer cut? Looks fantastic! The summit contour barrels are great.

Yessir, looking forward to finding time to get a load worked up! Not sure if I'll run Retumbo, H1000, or N565....

That is a 1 of 1 stock.... ;) Its the Ibex from benchmark made by AG, but they had quite a few issues getting the tikkas to work in their stock mold they won't make them anymore. I had to re-work the bottom metal inlet and also tune the bottom metal latch length to get it just right. Waited almost a year for this one.

How is the 25 SAUM different than the 25 PRC?
By the way, rifle looks awesome

Touch more case capacity is about it. Real close OAL and performance but the SAUM should be a bit faster. I’d run whatever one you already have brass/dies for.

You guys with the non stainless tikkas with fluted bolts. Are you cerakoting after or are the bolts stainless?

First Tikka, and I haven't even shot it yet. Just cleaned it, swapped the stock, mounted and bedded the rail, threw on a scope.

T3X Lite Stainless, 6.5 CM, 24" bbl
KRG Bravo, CTR Mags
Murphy Rail
Borrowed a Z5 from another gun until dedicated scope gets here.

Hope it shoots....

Almost identical to what I want to do, any idea what the weight is?
