Thanks gents. Rifle is sold.

Better than a video of a man tossing a bison.

Were the contents damaged?

Great idea. Something to relive the adventures when we no longer can go afield.

Those MT Tikka mags have a bad reputation but I've had good luck with them for my .338 Federal. They do stick out which is a bummer.
