    Default Which magazines to buy?

    I just got my Stag 7HL however I've rumors that the Stag mags are not quite up to par..any truth to that rumor?
    I've heard Barrett makes a better mag..?
    Would like to get metal..I think I have enough plastic on my rifle..and I prefer metal mags.
    Thanks in advance for the input.
    I would rather have a bottle in front of me..than a pre-frontal lobotomy..

    PRI mags are more costly but they allow you to load out to 2.300".

    I have only used CP mags for the simple reason they have been 100% reliable for me in the 10 and 25 round capacities and they were half the price of a Barrett mag. Now that CP is gone...the ASC mags look like cost effective alternatives, but I have no personal experience yet with the ASC's. Others here have reported good results.

    300 AAC Blackout Chambering Cancelled:


    Some time ago, Savage announced it would be chambering the Model 10 Precision Carbine in 300 AAC Blackout. Since that time, we have tested many variants of this cartridge in various barrel lengths and rates of twist. This exhaustive testing left us quite unsatisfied with the accuracy we were able to get from the subsonic loads in this chambering. Accuracy with the lighter, faster loads in this caliber was actually quite good. But we believe the real value in this cartridge lies in the use of subsonic loads for suppressed rifles. Therefore we have decided to scrap the project.
    It is our understanding that pushing these heavy, slow bullets presents challenges not found in typical loadings and that our experience is not unique. Subsequently, many in the industry have simply adopted a lower standard for accuracy for these subsonic loads. While this does seem reasonable and we don't criticize any in our industry that have taken this approach, it just won't work for Savage.
    Our brand was built on accuracy and we are too protective of our reputation for building the most accurate factory rifles available. We would rather walk away from this opportunity than sell a product that requires an explanation.

    Constructor's "Recommended Mags" thread (in ARP's industry subforum) was helpful for me. He provides some comparison discussion.

    How many mags are you wanting to buy?

    Just two..25 round... Certianly no more than 3.
    I have a Stag 4HL in 5.56 I plink with..found 2 used 30 rounds $15 total at a local gunstore. That is why I was shocked to $47 for 1 PRI.
    I was thinking of Farmington Iowa..my bad.

    I shot 30 rounds through a new ASC 10 rounder last saturday. No problems what so ever. A good bench mag!
