Thread: Long action mag in short action

I have a T3x. 308, I hand load so am limited to thee OAL of the tikka mag as don't want to single feed. If I was to buy long action mag would that give me a longer OAL that would work? I was at gunworks today and they said I my also need to change the bolt release catch to a long action one to alow the bolt to draw back further but she wasn't 100% sure. Bit of info before I buy the mag and the catch would be nice please.

Thanks Sam
