Unidentified custom magazine

[halftrackman]

Hi
Anybody got any ideas what this custom made magazine will fit, it appears to accept 6.5x55 rounds but doesn't fit my Swedish Mauser so more likely a more modern hunting rifle/ round combination, someone's gone to a lot of trouble to make it and in thick stainless steel of all materials.
I suspect the small oval slot in the side is for a catch to hold it in place when fitted to the rifle, any info would be appreciated.

I'm gonna hazard a guess but it looks a bit like a tikka m690/695 or m590/595 custom mag....

If it takes 6.5x55 rounds then that’s for a Tikka 658/690/695

Tikka for sure

Tikka M695, I think if the maker was known he'd have a few order from proper tikka owners

Could be tikka m65a snipe rifle custom mag

Could be tikka m65a snipe rifle custom mag

Recess for the retainer on the side of the magazine is in the wrong place to be M65. It’s 100% for the M658/690/695 family.

This is a mag for the M65a

Thinking about it the 65 was a double stack magazine the 55 was single stack. I once had a M65 in .308win. Tikka did both the 55 and 65 in .308win.
I've only ever seen photographs of the M65A rifle so can't comment on that, didn't it have a much deeper stock.

Hi all and thanks for the reply, so it looks like a Tikka mag buy all the comments, haven't any ideas or indication of who made it, but seems to be a lot of works been involved, I was given a box of mixed up and unidentified magazines and parts (I will probably list those for identification shortly) and this was amongst it all.
I dont own any modern hunting rifles only old military stuff hence why I couldn't identify it.
Cheers everybody for the replies
