Got what is probably a stupid simple question but I don't know so here goes;

The Tikka T3 Forest model;

Will that rifle configuration make hunter class, I know weight is a consideration but I'm mainly concerned about the magazine, how it protrudes slightly from the bottom of the stock and that it's right where I put my hand.

Absolutely hunter rifle legal with the mag shown. The 5 round extended mag may be questionable.
