The Sako magazine easily fits just touch loads with the 162 A-Max, 168 berger, 180 berger and no doubt the new 195 when it eventually gets here.


The rem mag is a formidable machine.

Thanks for that, very good to know, is yours completely standard? From memory you were getting very good accuracy from it - could replace my current rem mag with an 85 and then look at custom for an edge...
