    Tikka t3x trigger guard & mag upgrade

    Hey guys, I'm looking to swap out the trigger guard and magazine for my Tikka t3x for some metal ones and wanted to know what ones you recommend.

    I've seen that Hardys does the trigger guard and their own metal mags, have any of you had experience with these?
    Any other producers you recommend?

    A lot of blokes think the polymer is flimsy. Yet to come across anyone who has had issues from normal hunting spills. Did you?

    I've been down this path with the atlasworx bottom metal but changed back to the original tikka because it feed better and was more quiet. I did drop the tikka magazine once and it broke apart but was easy to put back together.

    Some of the early ones had a bit of a tendency to become fragile in very cold temps, but I haven't heard that pop up for a while around the traps. A lot of bits are made out of polymer plastics nowadays with good success.

    I've had an atlas works on my 308 for the last couple of years and it's awesome has a nicer mag release too. I imported it before it became complicated however if you do it I'd be interested on how easy it is because I'd definitely buy another.
