Sako A7 magazine issues

[stefan416]

Some years ago I purchased an Sako A7 308 win.
Now this spring I was at the shooting range and as I reloaded my rifle the ammo popped out from the mag, more than one cartridge at the same time. Now this becomes pretty frustrating when all your ammo is all over the table and floor.
I fixed the issue with two hammers and a player. Now working better. I wonder if there is another Sako or Tikka magazine that would be a bit more robust and trustworthy than the original A7 magazine.

You could replace your bottom metal with this: https://atlasworxs.com/shop/atlasworxs-bottom-metal-dbm-aics-sako-a7-short-action/

Then you can use AICS mags.

It is not the bottom metal that is the issue it is the magazine itself that causes problems. So I was wondering if there was a stainless magazine available for Sako A7 or a fixed model magazine?

I understand. I was just suggesting that if you switched to a bottom metal that accepts AICS magazines, you would open it up to many more options.
