My Patriot 243 is a nice shooter. Don't know why you wouldn't like it. I really like the Predator model in 308...wish a sale would pop up with a too good to pass price on one... |

Cuz they have a standard Magwell for all calibers (223 308 etc)
That said, the RAR mag is ASS It has this little square inside that risks impacting your primer every time you load a round (not a joke, I'm shocked they let something that unsafe be) This is especially bad if your trying to load the mag fast IE on the range. Also I had to use a file to make it feed properly Shameless plug: Ruger American Rifle Compact 223 |

So quick question.....does anyone know why Ruger didn't go with one that uses AR mags? I really like the idea of the RAR in .223 but I just can't warm up to the Mossberg. So why not AR mags? AR mags limit your OAL. The RPR mags allow longer OALs, so longer/heavier bullets can be seated further out, reducing case intrusion and increasing available volume for powder, as well as allowing handloaders to seat those long bullets closer to the lands to improve accuracy. Not using AR mags is a good thing for those looking to maximize accuracy. |

I’m thinking I’ll probably end up with the magpul stock for mine and just use AICS mags

If the .223 mag is as shitty as the 6.5cm mag, I concur about saving money for the Magpul stock or other system that uses AICS mags. Does the American 223 mag allow for longer OALs than an AR mag? |

Based on my friend's experience with AR mags and bolt guns, specifically the Mossberg, it doesn't work very well. His mossie is extremely picking about what AR mags it will work with. Think about it for a minute. AR mags have been around for fifty years. And there's still very few bolt guns that run them. I believe that's called a sign. |
