If I change the bolt stop and magazine to a 270 length or long, will it still feed? ie longer seated bullets. Has anyone done this change?

Yep, I ran it long for 153.5 long loads, fed fine.

did you run lighter bullets as well with a shorter OAL? 127 LRX for hunting or simalar?

It will feed fine with factory mags and AICS mags. I never tried a CTR mag or bottom metal but all tikkas are long action, spacers and bolt stop are all that change from SA to LA in a factory bottom metal.

Tikka’s are pretty forgiving on feeding with factory mags but if for some reason it doesn’t feed well with the longer mag and shorter 127’s just keep the M+ magazine with the spacer to feed them.
