As I recall three, but it's been a while since I've seen one.
However, even if they only held two in the magazine, I've never run my 2-down NULA 28 in .257 Weatherby dry.
Thanks. I'm buying a rifle for my son who is transferring to a technology center in Eastern Europe. He'll join me for the annual hunts in Scotland that we've done each year since 1997.
I understand that 2 down is fine for some, but I spent several years in this same geography and MANY times ran a 4 down rifle dry shooting boar, so 2 down is a non-starter.
I'll probably give him a Blaser R8 in 7x64 as they are ubiquitous with the European employees there who hunt. (And, because I'm a 7mm s!ut)
Also, fwiw, my wife has hunted a pre "N" ULA in 7mm-08 for near 2 decades in 7 countries... Great rifle.
