NO….the mag will not seat properly. I've tried this test before with a standard 308 Battue action on my CTR 308 platform…
The slot cut out of the CTR receiver allows the TRG mag to angle slightly more upward at the front allowing the mag to function properly with the proper feed ramp/angle.
You can however assemble a gun with the CTR stock/bottom & standard T3 action,…the mag will even insert and clip into place but it will be slightly angled downward and the rifle will not feed rounds, the ramp angle is changed and it jams when trying to cycle the bolt.
The only way around it is to mill the action or play with altering the mag to change the seating angle.
I myself have not tried to alter the $200 mag…but it may be possible.I've tried to do exactly what you are asking for my 300wsm….install the standard 300wsm action on the CTR stock and bottom metal…the 308 TRG mag will hold 5rds of 300wsm perfectly with a longer coal, only issue being the feed angle again…it doesn't work. Thats why Tikka milled the slot…its specific to the bottom metal and TRG mag functioning properly,…I think it on purpose to prevent the two actions from being interchangeable on the CTR platform.
