AI BDM’s for Tikka T3?
Have you planned to start selling BDM's for AI magazines?
There's a few around and they do make sense…A standard T3 magazine for short action (.308) jams with COL > 71mm and I've filed away as much material as I dare from my standard magazine…
This is poor when using bullets with high b.c.
I don't want to seat my bullets deeper than I have to and my 175gr Nosler Comp are loaded with COL 72mm.AI BDM for my T3 is on my shopping list pretty soon and this is perhaps something you might add to your shop? 😉

We just received all the photos to get them loaded into our site. It should be done Monday.
They work well but still limit your ability to load the round out to the lands. We've been working on a la DBM for over a year now. There are some issues with reliable feeding that we've figured out how to fix, but it significantly raises the cost of production.
Yesterday I completed a test of our new Bobsled and it worked perfectly in everything from a 223 to a 270 wsm. For $20 it's the cheapest and easiest way to go.
Once I'm done editing the video, I'll post a link to it.

This is more what I'm looking for…
A bottom plate that takes AI mags.
They are very popular and I really need something that takes my long cartridges with COL/COAL longer than 72mm -
Hi Wizard,
We have a Tikka AICS DBM that can load 308 to 2.9″ or 73.6mm. It's not much more, but it's something.
The easiest way to use a mag and get more length from a 308 is to buy a 30-06 length magazine and file your bolt stop back so the bolt will pick up the longer round.
Our long action AICS DBM is still in the works, but we have to manufacture more components for it to work reliably than we originally anticipated. That's the only thing holding us back right now.

Noticed you've started selling the bdm I asked about! Great!!!
I found one elsewhere prior so sadly I won't order from you guys but my installation should be ready within the next few days so I'll provide some before/after pics!It's a great upgrade of any Tikka!!!

No worries.
We're working with one of the leading firearm accessory manufacturers to produce our long action AI solution right now. Needless to say, it will open up a whole new world to Tikka owners shooting WSMs or anything in the .308 family.
Enjoy!
