Tikka aftermarket magazine

[Traditionalist]

Hey, I hope you're all fairing well in these less than salubrious times.

Does anyone know of a good aftermarket 10 round magazine for the Tikka T3X lite in .223

If I could get a polymer one from Magpul I'd go that way... though they don't do em.

Anyone know of a sturdy polymer option?

Failing that I'll go with aluminium... the Lucky 13 and Grizzly mags look ok.

Anyone had any issues with those?

Any other suggestions?

We use Lucky 13 magazines for our .223 and .308 rifles. Never had an issue with them and they can get a real workout!

I've got a lucky 13 mag in my BLR. Very solid.
The tikka varmint models come with a larger mag. Not sure it's 10 though.
Lithgow use the same mag in their 102 but again don't think they make a higher capacity one.

Thanks Animalpest! Where do you buy your Lucky 13 mags?

i bought a waters rifle man magazine recently . great locally made bit of gear. unfortunately it doesn't work with my "lumney" aftermarket alloy trigger gaurd/mag well . which i rate as a excellent product that did seem to result in more consistant groups over the factory tikka gaurd . lucky 13 shut down as far as i know . i had one of their mags on a sauer , and it's a good bit of gear

I buy mine from my local gun store. Any decent store should stock them.

For anyone wanting a Lucky 13 mag in 243 or 308, this store appears to be selling them (assuming their inventory is up to date):

I think the armourer for lucky 13 either died or was very sick and could not work so the family run business shut down for good. Whatever is out in circulation is of high quality, Australian made but is no longer in production. My 25 round 22lr ruger American was $120 brand new. Now selling for over $300.
