Description
This mag was built specifically to solve the puzzle of fitting longer bullets into a short action magnum rifle without cutting into your cartridge overall length. The Hawkins Precision Hunter Magazine accomplishes that in a way that doesn't compromise reliability or durability.
What Makes the Hawkins Hunter Magazine Different
The genius here is in the internal capacity. At roughly 2.980 inches internal length, this 3-rounder has enough room for fat magnum cartridges like 6.5 PRC, 7 SAUM, and 300 WSM, while the flush-fit design means it sits almost completely inside the stock. That matters more than you might think when you're in the field.
Build Quality and Field Performance
Hawkins machines these from a single piece of billet aluminum, which means zero weak points. The magazines come with rubber bumpers installed, so they stay silent when you're carrying your rifle through the brush. The flush design also prevents snagging on branches or gear when you're maneuvering in thick country. Loading and unloading is smooth and quick.
Compatibility Notes
These are purpose-built for the Hawkins Precision Hunter M5 DBM system and work best with that bottom metal. While they may be compatible with other flush-mount bottom metals designed for Remington 700 pattern actions, your best bet is checking with your gunsmith if you're running something different. The internal length of 2.980 inches is designed specifically for this application, so feed ramps and magazine wells matter.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will this Hawkins Hunter Magazine work in my Remington 700?
It's made specifically for Remington 700 actions equipped with Hawkins Precision Hunter M5 DBM bottom metal. It may be compatible with other flush-fit bottom metals designed for Remington 700 pattern actions, but that depends on your specific setup. The Hunter Magazine is a precision component, so compatibility is best confirmed with your gunsmith before ordering.
What's the benefit of the 2.980 inch internal length for short action magnums?
Short action magnums like 6.5 PRC and 7 SAUM are challenging to load to their full potential in a tight magazine box. This magazine's 2.980 inch internal length gives you real room to work with longer, heavier bullets while keeping your cartridge overall length legal and functional. That translates to better ballistics without custom reloading tricks.
Why is this a 3-round magazine instead of holding more?
The 3-round capacity is a direct result of maximizing internal length for longer magnum bullets. To fit those heavier projectiles at proper seating depths, you sacrifice round count. It's a smart trade-off for hunters who want efficient, reliable feeding over sheer capacity.
Are these magazines durable for field use?
Yes. They're machined from a single piece of billet aluminum, which eliminates weak points. The rubber bumpers keep them quiet when moving through cover, and the flush design prevents snagging. These are built to handle actual hunting conditions without compromise.
