Sneak Peek at the new Magpul Hunter 700 stock system...

Quoted:
What mags will it be compatible with? The video shows Caylen loading AICS mags, so I'm guessing this video is also showing us a preview of Magpul's AICS-compatible polymer magazines. 
ETA: It'll be interesting to see how much the thicker polymer mag walls limit COAL vs a steel AICS mag. |

Lots of questions about the 700 products, so we'll give you a little more to go on... Hunter 700, $259.95 MSRP has an anodized aluminum bedding block, uses SGA cheek riser and LOP spacers, has M-LOK slots, has dimples to add swivel studs and places to add our QD sockets, weighs 2.9 lbs, and works with factory Rem bottom metal as packaged, or.... Remove a spacer (30 seconds) and insert our hybrid steel and polymer Bolt Action Magazine Well (MSRP $69.95, includes one magazine) to use AICS compatible magazines, speaking of which... The PMAG5 7.62 AC is an AICS compatible polymer magazine with anti-tilt follower, MSRP $34.95. The magazine holds five rounds as packaged to comply with hunting regulations, but if you clip the follower stop on a pre-scored line, it becomes a 6-round magazine, useful in competitive shooting disciplines or just for an extra round. This is just Monday...lots more to come. And this line will indeed be flushed out with other options and fitments, 10rd mag, caliber options, etc. |
. Will the new mags work in an AX chasis?

Savage stock please :( +1! +10 This. If possible Magpul.... Pretty please with spinkles, and rainbows, and shiny things, and gold!?
and maybe make them to where you can us Magpul mags? Probably not, the modern Savage action (4.410ish) works well as a single feed system. Which is why Savage has a factory bottom metal that works with the AICS magazines. You can see it in my rifle pic in this thread. My recommendation is either an integrated bottom metal in AICS or, since the bottom metal is readily available and interchangeable with the factory bottom metal, to make the Savage Magpul stock fit the factory Savage base metal which would cover all the options a shooter could want. Fixed internal magazine, swing down plate, removable Savage mags, extended Savage mags, and AICS magazines. Being able to configure your Savage to which ever system you want makes for a VERY nice platform. Add in the Magpul magic, and you have a solid accurate modular stock system. ETA: BUT YES!!!! I also would like a Magpul Hunter 10 Savage stock. ETA2: Hell, I'll drive my rifle down to Austin (60ish minutes to your door) so you can use mine to proto type as needed. Only thing to watch for is Savage uses two types of bolt release, gotta make it fit both types. I am serious, if you want to use it after shot show your more than welcome too. It's a favorite but I hardly ever get to take it out. So as long as you need it, it's yours. |

Do you have any close pictures of the new bottom metal and roughly how much longer are the 10 rnd magazines looking? I know the magazines are in development but didn't know if you had an idea. I would assume about 1.5 - 2" longer. Thanks for bringing in this bolt action rifle line as well. Yall have been busy this year.
