I managed to lose the magazine for my .308 Ruger American Predator. It’s up in GMU 50. This is one of the original factory flush-fit rotary magazines. The release lever probably caught on my jacket or pack when I was slinging/unslinging the rifle and I didn’t notice when the magazine fell to the ground. The wisdom of a non-detachable top-feed only magazine design on a hunting rifle suddenly made a lot more sense to me.
I need a replacement magazine. The simple “replace it” route became muddied when I read that folks are requesting the AI magazine conversion kit from Ruger and going that route. Ive never had an issue feeding cartridges with the rotary magazine that came with the rifle, but now there are options to consider.
I’d like to request any insights from those of you that have tried something other than the Ruger factory rotary mag.
