Just to clarify: My experience is from a mountain accent camo stock

I will note though I have had some problems with my mag. Mine is in .308win and it was so tight with 3 in the mag it was basically non-functional. It was almost impossible to put the mag in with a closed bolt and have it latch. If you did manage it, it was close to jamming the bolt action, and if you got it open you ended up smearing a bunch of brass onto the bottom of the bolt and damaging the top cartridge.
It wasn't a follower spring issue, the magazine just genuinely had too little space to fit 3 .308 cartridges. The issue cost me a few animals as I had issues either reloading the mag quickly or feeding the first round. I checked the advertisements several times thinking it must just be a two shot mag, but I confirmed it was supposed to be three.

I ended up taking the mag apart and removing quite a bit of plastic under the follower spring, it functions perfectly now.
This wasn't unique to mine and I've seen a few overseas forum posts on this issue and the same solution used to fix it.
I was pretty disappointed from a manufacturer point of view as it is clearly a fairly major design flaw in the magazine dimensions.

Snap I had exactly the same problem and took it back and got another mag which fixed the problem. Been a great little rifle ever since and give it a thrashing in North island Bush. With the gel removed its as light as pretty much any rifle out there.

Yeh was an early problem that was a warranty claim I even got to keep the tight mag which means I now have 2 after I also relieved some material.
