A 3rd AICS magazine that sits flush with the stock line is exactly what a hunting rifle wants. No box hanging below the belly to snag a pack strap, catch brush on a stalk, or dig into your back on the sling. It feeds 308 Winchester based short action cartridges, 6.5 Creedmoor included.The polymer body keeps weight down on a rifle that gets carried far more than it gets shot, and the AICS pattern drops into MDT chassis and compatible bottom metal. Where game laws cap magazine capacity, 3rds keeps the rifle legal without swapping parts.
