Design and fit for precision platforms

This magazine is purpose-made for the T3 Compact Tactical Rifle family. The feed-lips and follower geometry are tuned for the .308 Winchester and 260 Remington cartridges, which reduces nose-up or nose-down cartridge presentation and minimizes the risk of double feeds. Because the TIKKA T3 mag is sized for a five-round capacity, it keeps the bottom of the action compact while preserving a low profile in the stock—important for prone and bench positions where cheek weld and ergonomics matter.

Why caliber compatibility matters

.308 Winchester remains a standard for precision, offering wide ammunition availability, proven terminal performance, and consistent barrel harmonics. 260 Remington shares similar ballistics with slightly different case dimensions; the TIKKA T3’s design accommodates both, ensuring the follower and feed lips present each cartridge at the same point of the bolt face for repeatable chambering.

For shooters looking to add redundancy in the field or maintain match-ready hardware, having a dedicated magazine tuned to your rifle’s dimensions is an inexpensive reliability upgrade. View product details and pricing

Field use and maintenance

Carry spares in an anti-static pouch or magazine carrier to protect feed lips and keep debris out. A quick wipe and light inspection of the follower and spring after a range session is all that’s typically needed. Because the TIKKA T3 is designed to slot into the T3 Compact Tactical magazine well without modification, swapping magazines during training or match stages is straightforward.

Final considerations

For owners of the T3 Compact Tactical in .308 Win or 260 Rem, this 5-round TIKKA T3 magazine is a practical, affordable upgrade at $42.29 that supports reliable feeding and a compact profile suited to precision work. Check current stock levels and add a spare to your kit—this small part pays dividends in reliability during critical drills. Check current availability
