Is the receiver shorter or did they just put a spacer in the mag for?

Space for sure, but I think that they also shorten the bolt throw somehow.

The Tikka T3 action is one length (long). To accommodate the short action cartridges they put a block in the magazine. They also reposition the bolt stop to shorten the stroke of the bolt to give it a short action feel.

One size fits all... cheaper to produce.

100% right I dont like Tikkas just becaust they do fill cheap to me.

X2! I don't care for anything in "one size fits all!"
Cheaper to produce = just plain cheap!

Actually, if I remember right, the action is extra long! That way it can be converted from magnum, long and short action. I love short action calibers, so why would I want to defeat the purpose with a mag-length action! Tikka's cost cutting is really just extra profit, because they are still over priced!

Tikka's are great guns...go try one and you will love the way it shoots.

I've had (and sold) three Tikkas. That's enough.

I have a Tikka T3 lite in a .308. best shooting rifle I ever shot, and most accurate too in a hunting rifle. To each his own I guess.
