Overview
Built for short-action bolt rifles that use AICS-spec bottom metal, this 10-round polymer magazine is intended for hunters and shooters running cartridges in the .308 Winchester family, including 7.62x51, 7mm-08 Rem, 6.5mm Creedmoor, .260 Rem, and .243 Win. It includes GEN M3 features, a paint-pen dot matrix for easy identification, and a flared base plate designed to help with handling and retrieval. The magazine accepts cartridges up to 2.86" overall length, but it is not compatible with smaller-base cartridges, larger short-action magnums, Accuracy International AE rifles, or semi-auto platforms using SR25/M11 pattern magazines. Minor fitting may be required with some aftermarket receivers, stocks, chassis, and bottom metal combinations.
