NEW Ruger Scout Rifle Polymer Mags
A couple weeks back Ruger sent me their new polymer Scout Rifle magazines for testing.
Available with 3, 5 or 10 round capacity. They are constructed of durable glass-filled nylon.
-----
Magazine weight w/dust cover:
3 rd: 2.3 oz.
5 rd: 2.7 oz.
10 rd: 3.5 oz.
-----
A snap-on dust cover is included which helps keep the magazine internals clean and allows long-term storage of the magazine while loaded.
Disassembly was quick and painless.
Field-tested:
First thing done was to function test each magazine; I cycled each full magazine twice. Then me and a cohort gathered up some spare .308 ammo and headed to the range.
Loaded 10 rd mag. seated
This was not an accuracy test, it was a function test. Through 70 rounds fired all three mags fed without a problem. I have to mention though - the 3 and 5 rounders took some serious muscle to lock-in. They seem to be designed and built well.
