One of the few things keeping me from picking one up is that the magazine feels like it came out of the prize shop at Chuck E Cheese.

Don't hold your breath, other than uninformed opinions. I've never had any failure, glitch or complaint about mine. Also, I don't envision a need for a high rate of fire on a 4-round capacity bolt-action hunting rifle. If someone made a steel rotary mag in 7 calibers for the RAR, you would no longer have a 6 1/2 lb. rifle or a free-floated, crowned barrel with an adjustable trigger for $350.00.robertkirksey said:I have one and the magazine works fine.

I should think that either a loaded mag or a box of cartridges would fit into the pocket of a field coat. If you reload, the empties can go right back in the box. I guess I don't see how a high cap mag is more convenient. Each to his own.Leatherneck said:leon670 said:I have never understood why anyone would want a high cap mag in a bolt action centerfire.

Wow that's funny.
Actually, it's more of a convenience thing. I would rather grab the rifle and one mag when I go out to shoot. That's less I have to carry. It has nothing to do with hunting or being tactical.

Back on track... I have one (243) that just pleases the heck outta me... the magazine has never failed and since their debut on the market, I have heard of very few complaints about it. 6.25lbs of very accurate hunting (not target) rifle is really hard to beat. I'm sure that if there were problems with the mag, Ruger would address that immediately. My observation is that the RAR is flying off the shelves due to all the accolades it has received.

I am a little upset about the 223 mag though, but not about quality. I saw a 223 yesterday & they blocked the mag big time. So they have a 1-8 with a mag for short bullets, I woun't buy the 223 until that is solved, I heard Ruger is thinking about it.

I was pleased to get my .270 RAR for $349.00. You got a killer deal at $289.00. Nice catch.No.1Nick said:robertkirksey said:I have one and the magazine works fine. Could someone be specific describing the faults of the magazine?
Don't think there are any faults really. Just not your Grandfathers magazines. Very easy to load and carry. Just received my 2nd one today. ($24.00 + $4.99 shipping). Can't wait for the weather to change to go try it out with my new RAR 270 ($289.00) Pretty nice rifle for not much moola!

^^^^^^^^^^ Exactly!! If they unblock the 223 mag I'll have to get one.
I don't want or need high cap. I just want a metal magazine.leon670 said:I have never understood why anyone would want a high cap mag in a bolt action centerfire.
