For hunters and long-range shooters running magnum bolt-action rifles, magazine choice directly affects reliability, weight, and handling in the field. A purpose-built polymer magazine that fits long-action AICS pattern bottom metal and accepts full-length magnum cartridges reduces feeding issues and simplifies logistics when switching calibers or chassis.

MAGPUL PMAG

The MAGPUL PMAG is engineered around M3 polymer technology to deliver a lightweight, economical, and durable single‑stack bolt‑action magazine for the .300 Winchester Magnum family and similar long‑action magnum cartridges. Key features include a self‑lubricating follower, stainless steel spring, paint‑pen dot‑matrix panels on the magazine body for quick identification, and a flared floorplate to aid reloads and handling. It accepts cartridge overall lengths up to 3.50″ and is made in the USA.

This magazine is explicitly compatible with long action AICS (Accuracy International Chassis Systems) pattern bottom metal — including Bolt Action Magazine Well 700L intended for the Hunter 700L Stock — so it integrates cleanly into popular chassis and stock platforms. It supports magnum cartridges built on a 0.530″ belted case head such as .300 Winchester, .257 Weatherby, .264 Winchester, .270 Weatherby, 7mm Remington, and .300 H&H. It is not compatible with .404 Jeffery‑based cartridges and their derivatives (for example Remington Ultra Magnums and Winchester Short Magnums).

At a price of $37.95, the MAGPUL PMAG offers a compelling balance of affordability and quality for precision shooters who need a reliable single‑stack mag for long‑action magnums. Shop this product here: View product details and pricing.

Field Use and Tactical Considerations

In field use the magazine’s polymer construction and stainless spring resist corrosion and reduce weight compared to steel alternatives. The self‑lubricating follower smooths feeding under adverse conditions, while the dot matrix ID panels make loadout management simple when carrying multiple magazines or calibers. The flared floorplate gives a positive purchase for quick magazine changes during training or hasty reloads.

For integrators and shooters fitting chassis gear, verify that your bottom metal follows AICS long‑action dimensions and that your chosen cartridge is not a .404 Jeffery‑derivative before purchase. Check current availability: Check availability.
