Anyone have experience with Remington 7600 magazine for 30-06?

I’m looking into getting a magazine for my Remington 7600 in 30-06, and I’d love to gather some feedback from anyone who has been in the same boat. I’ve heard a lot about the performance and reliability of different magazines out there, but I want to know what the best options are. Here are some things I’d like to know:

Magazine Compatibility

  • What brands do you recommend? Are there any third-party magazines that work well with the Rem 7600?
  • Are there specific features that enhance the performance? I’ve read mixed reviews about certain models.

Personal Experiences

  • What’s your experience been like with a 30-06? I want to know about reliability under different conditions.
  • Any issues with feeding or jamming? Were there certain types of ammunition that proved problematic?

Hunting and Usage

  • How do they perform in the field? I plan to use mine for deer hunting, so I want to ensure it can handle the rugged terrain.
  • Durability and Maintenance Tips: What should I know before heading out for my next hunt?

I’d really appreciate any insights, personal experiences, or advice you have to share. I’m looking forward to some engaging discussions on this topic!

I’ve used the Remington 7600 with the .30-06 and found the standard 4-round magazine capacity to be sufficient for hunting. It’s compact and allows for quick follow-up shots when needed.

That’s interesting! I’ve always used five-round mags for my .30-06. What’s the deal with the 4-round capacity? Is it about staying legal in certain areas?

Yes, many places have regulations on magazine capacities for hunting. The 4-round mag keeps you compliant while still providing decent firepower for deer hunting.

While the standard capacity is 4 rounds, I sometimes find it limiting for target practice. Might consider getting an aftermarket larger capacity if I want to spend more time shooting.

I agree! A larger capacity can make a huge difference during extended target sessions, especially when you’re working on your accuracy.

For hunting scenarios, I appreciate the 4-round magazine for its reliability. Fewer rounds mean less weight and bulk, which is great when you’re trekking through the woods.

Exactly! And it also helps with muzzle control during quick shots. However, it can feel a bit underwhelming for competitive target shooting.

Has anyone experienced jams with the 4-round mag? I read about it online, but curious about real-world feedback. Would hate to experience that in the field.

I’ve had a few jams, especially with older ammunition. Clean your firearm regularly, and it should function just fine.

I love how lightweight the 7600 feels during a long hunt. That being said, sometimes I wish it had just one more round capacity for that peace of mind, especially in competitive situations.

Right? It’s like it’s just teasing you! But for general hunting, I think the 4 rounds are just fine.

I think it’s great for beginners! The capacity keeps things simple, and you don’t need to worry about managing too many rounds.

That’s a good point! The 7600 promotes a focus on accuracy rather than rapid fire, which can be beneficial for new shooters.

I’ve used the OEM Remington 7600 magazine with my .30-06 and it works flawlessly. Highly recommend sticking to OEM for reliability.

That’s great to hear! Has anyone tried aftermarket options? I’m curious about their performance.

I’ve used a few aftermarket brands, but the fit wasn’t as snug as I’d like. I had a couple of feeding issues too. Better to pay a bit more for the OEM, in my opinion.

That’s disappointing! Which aftermarket brands did you try?

I’ve tested promag and they didn’t work well for my Remington 7600 either. OEM is definitely more reliable.

Wow, it sounds like aftermarket options might not be worth the risk. What’s the price difference like between aftermarket and OEM?
