Default Customizing a tikka t3

I have a t3 lite in 300wsm and am wondering if there are any custom magazines for this gun in this calibre that will hold five rounds. I've looked on google but haven't found anything for this specific round. Any help woud be great

Personally if I was 'customizing a tikka I would put a new stock on it.

Grouse River in BC sells them as well.

The first thing I'd customize is the bolt shroud. Replace the factory one with an aluminum one.

None of the tikka mags that hold 3+ rounds are available in 300 wsm. But thanks anyway. I feel follow up shots are more important then a different bolt shroud or fancy stock. If I change anything serious it will be a new barrel.
