Thanks TAM I didn't know about these Mags. I like the plastic Mags. Cheaper, durable and they won't rattle when carried in a pocket. The advantage of the alpha Industries Mag is that they will accept a longer cartridge. I have never run into these longer rounds although I still haven't found the perfect ammo maybe it is one these types of rounds.

I think I'm going to order 2 of the 5 round Ruger mags though.. They are short in height, allow for top loading, and have a dust cover to allow for long term storage or pocket carry without clanging or contamination with pocket residue.

I really like the company Magpul, Ive met the CEO / Owner and was quite proud of him when he stood up to Colorado and moved to Texas. Later I might get one of their 10 rounders. but right now I'm saving pennys for the scope ..

Edit: I just realized the Alpha Industries Mags ar Stainless. That does make a difference.. I like my guns made out of plastic and stainless..

This is my work in progress, I don't have the scope yet and I want to change over to using mostly plastic mags.
This is a Ruger GSR in .308 stainless. The scope mounts are hi mounted See thru ... I will be putting in the Leopold FX II Scout 2.5 power. So I wont have to give up the Iron sights. I'm hoping that I can mount the scope completely forward of the receiver.

This is my only rifle, and I probably won't get another one real soon, so the Cooper theory of one gun for all purposes makes sense to me. Its been a lot of fun to shoot.

one 22 is the same as another ..

I like bolt guns cause they are typically light weight inexpencive yet heavy duty use serious ammunition.. They are designed for results with every shot. A simple gun for a simple me..

I just wish I could find ammo and Mags as cheap as that for the .225 AR15.
