Is UM the name of the company or abbreviated?
Thanks .
I'm trying to think of the name of the company that I got bottom metal for my other T3 from. It wasn't for a longer mag though. This is only my 3rd rifle with detachable mags. 2 Tikkas and a Cooper mod. 52. I'm not a big fan of them. Where do you carry an extra mag when you need it fast ? I like just pulling rounds off my buttstock.

With my Weatherby Mark Vs, the magazine isn't the limiting factor.
It's the length of the opening for the ejection port.
I can seat out to 3.630" and fit in the magazine.
I can't eject a live round though.
I have to pull the bolt out.
Which involves squeezing the trigger.
Accident waiting to happen.
I load to 3.360" and can eject a live round.

Besides the mag well do you need to modify the bolt stop ?
I don't think it will require any feed ramp modification. It includes a replacement bolt stop release

I just read up on
drop in except bolt release. I like that.
Yes Unknown Munitions.
I keep a 2 round holder on my stock just forward of the ejection port.
SAP Two Round Holder - Short Action Precision
Hold two rounds right where you need them in a pinch with the SAP Two Rounder! Two round holder, two shell holder, Short Action Precision, Precision Rifle, two bullet, two cartridge, 2 bullet, 2 round, 2 cartridge, two spare, 2 spare
You can get a replacement mag from HCA (https://www.hellscanyonarmory.com/tikka-t3x-t3-billet-magazines) or Mountain Tactical (https://www.eurooptic.com/Mountain-Tactical-T3-T3x-G2-3rd-LA-Billet-Mag-T3T3XBMG-LA3.aspx). Not sure they will get out to what you are getting with your Vanguard, but they are definitely longer than factory mags.

Ya, more for the idea than anything.
Like the seller I tried AICS and didn't like 'em. Noisy and cold.
Call me what you will but I like those flush 3rnd Tikka mags. ...well everything but the price
I'm with you on the flush mags, I run them exclusively in my hunting rifles. 3 rounds is sufficient for me. I need my stuff wrapped tight, 'cuz if it can get caught up on something, it's gonna.
