Misc Fitment for Tikka T3 Hunter 30-06

Not looking to spend a bunch on chassis for my Tikka T3 in 30-06.. I've heard Tikka uses same size action for SA and LA calibres.. what is the difference between the SA and LA chassis systems from MDT

I have a 270 T3x super light in the field stock. I emailed MDT and they told me to purchase the long action stock. It fits my 270 action perfectly.

One thing I didn’t foresee; the Tikka long action cartridges take a specific mag length (3.560”). MDT only stocks a 5 round mag in that length and I can’t find a 3 rounder anywhere else. It protrudes from the bottom of the mag well which makes it a bit bulky for hunting/ bush carrying. I’d much prefer a chassis with bottom metal or a flush mount magazine.
