You misunderstand the question.
There are 2 mag wells on the Ace Game. The standard plastic and the metal CTR style. They are designed so you can change the mag well.
I have one with the standard plastic mag, but I want to run an MDT mag, I believe the CTR metal mag well can run an MDT mag but I’m asking for clarification.
One on top of two

I have just bought the Tikka ace game in 6.5 PCR
The Tikka T3x
ACE Game rifle uses standard Tikka single-stack plastic magazines but can be converted to use CTR metal double-stack magazines with an optional, interchangeable magwell. It does not natively accept AICS-pattern magazines, but an AICS-compatible magwell adapter is reportedly in development.

Magazine Compatibility Details
- CTR Magazines: The ACE chassis is designed with an interchangeable magazine well system. You can purchase a specific Tikka ACE CTR Magwell to convert the rifle to accept the higher-capacity, metal double-stack magazines used in the Tikka T3x CTR, Tac A1, and Arctic models.
- AICS Magazines: The ACE Game rifle does not natively accept AICS magazines. While the modular design of the chassis suggests this is possible, a dedicated AICS-pattern magwell insert is not currently available from the manufacturer, though it has been announced as a future option. Aftermarket bottom metals exist to convert non-ACE Tikka rifles to AICS compatibility, but these are separate products from the factory ACE system.
I have an Ace Target and it take the metal Tikka double stack mags like those used in the CTR. I understand that Tikka might come out with a new bottom metal as an accessory that takes AICS magazines. The accessories seem to be drip fed into the market, my bag rider took 6 months to arrive.
which MDt are compatible with CTR/TacA1 mags?
None we have here are compatible

So the reason I asked this originally was I believe some MDT mags can be easily modified to fit in the CTR/Tac A1
Anything can be modified
Not sure it’s easily or why you would want to
They are readily available
Suspect the CTR is wider than most MDT
Closer to AICS if anything
But the latch points are different
He didn't misunderstand your question.
For the T3x, there is only 1 magazine well for the Ace Game. The plastic one.
The Ace Target has the magazine well for the metal CTR magazines.
They are interchangeable, but the way you asked the question wasn't right.
The Ace Target is only available in 3 calibers, so depending on what your Ace Game is chambered in, changing the magazine well may not be an option
If I recall my investigations a year or so back, the CTR mag is wider & hence even if you do some ‘minor sanding’ at the back the mag does not seat properly as there is movement side to side. The only proper solution if using the factory bottom metal is use a factory mag!
