The mag well on the Finnfire Range is a brute especially with the 5 shot mag and requires a real two finger technique, anyone with fat fingers being stuffed. The ten shot mag, hanging down further is more practical on the go: I carry two when rabbiting from the truck - one in and one refilling. I suspect the bigger hole on this T3 version is to provide room for gloved fingers.
And you're right, the same design appeared in previous generations of Tikka, you know, the proper ones, as "Master Supersporter".
I suppose the fully adjustable M65A stock is just too labour intensive for the accountants at Beretta, that's before you build in a mag release button to either side of the mag well.
