Gunsite .308 Mags

[Smokngun]

How has everyones experience been with the newer polymer mags? Any flaws for those who have reloaded them time and time again?

Like mine and they function just fine. I can also use stripper clips to reload them either in or out of the rifle. You can't use stripper clips with the metal mags. The polymer mags are also cheaper.

I can now carry only three spare mags and a whole bunch of 20-round stripper clips with a lot less weight and bulk.

I too prefer the poly mags although I haven't tried using stripper clips with them.

Where did you buy these other mags? Can you get them from Ruger or is there some other place to get them. I just got my gunsite gun and wanted to add some different mags. Also what are they running in price

Try Bud's, that is where I got mine.

I just checked Cheaper than Dirt. They have them but the shipping seemed pretty high. $25 shipping for two magazines!

I just opened a package from Impact Guns. I ordered a five round polymer and two three round polymer magazines. The three round magazines showed up today, the 5 rd is on back order. I tried the three round magazines in my rifle and it seemed like I had to smack them pretty hard to seat. Anyone else have this issue?

I would rather have to smack them into place than have then "snick" in easily, then flop around like the steel Ruger mags.

Do yours move at all when in place?

After about 10-15 times of slapping them in, they go in as easy as my steel mag. There is no wobble and the three round magazine is small enough that I can carry the rifle by holding around the action without any problems. Pretty happy with this gun!

My 5 and 10 rd mags are a nice, snug fit. Just right.
