    Found a Tikka unicorn!

    I was given a Tikka M65 30-06 by my SIL. Her dad (now deceased) kept the gun in a case and the magazine elsewhere. When the house was cleaned up for sale, the magazine went out in the trash with a lot of other stuff.

    I've looked for three years for one and finally came across a fellow in Finland that fabricates exact 10 cartridge copies of the originals in various calibers.

    Nice! My Tikka T3X Lite is the most accurate out-of-the-box rifle I’ve ever owned. Time to burn some powder in that ‘06!

    Link/contact info for your contact? I have a T3X Tact A1 in 6.5CM, so a newer gun I can find mags for. But only Tikka makes mags for it and they are pricey and troublesome. Would like to try something different.

    Hi, John. The fellow in Finland is only making the older M65 magazines, but here is a link to aftermarket and apparently improved mags available in the US. Yes, they're expensive!

    Nice. I have some experience with with a 695. They have cheapened them as time has gone on and those older ones are really nice.
