    Persactly. You buy a Tikka because it performs so well out of the box. Otherwise get a Remington 700.

    I reached out to a contact at Magpul and received this reply: "Thanks for the info. Tikka is a viable platform, which we have considered already and may end up doing something for it."

    With a little modification to the magazine's catch slot, Alpha mags work in a Tikka CTR and a Sako TRG.

    Trigger, in CTR w factory stock or in a chassis?

    If factory, what's entailed in the mod?

    I'll try to see if the pictures below can capture what I did. I added a slot to the back of the Alpha mag for the TRG mag catch to engage into.

    In the lower photo the Alpha mag is on the bottom. You can see the rectangular slot I cut. Since the mag has a different shape by the feed lips compared to the Sako, you have to adjust the distance from the feedlips to the rectangular slot.

    The CTR uses the TRG pattern mags, not the traditional Tikka pattern.

    Yes you are correct. I think we are both saying the same thing.

    Kind of. I was trying to clarify that your mod works with the Tikka CTR and a TRG rifle, not the traditional Tikka T3 magwell which is what the original post was discussing.
