Howa 1500 .308 magazine conversion

[Huntsman92]

Team,

Picking up a Howa 1500 in .308 this week, it’s currently floorplate but I will be fitting a magazine.

Looking for recommendations on which company is currently producing the best product, and what magazine is working best.

Cheers.

I prefer any AICS conversion with the mag release lever being at the rear of the magazine well vs front release levers

more likely to snag a front release one and drop a mag out unknowingly.

But I always check safety and check mag before I move.

I had a Atlasworks AICS mag conversion on my howa and really liked it.

Did you find a suitable conversion?
I'd like one for my howa S/A, and mini action if possible

Why would you want to convert a stalking rifle from floorplate to detachable magazine?
Sounds like a backwards step to me.

Well it's the mini action I really want one for, it's on the standard mag setup where it's easy to catch the mag release even when it's cut down, and there's so many to pick from
