I have an Anschutz 1415-1416 inbound and thought I'd pick up a couple spare mags. Holy crap are those expensive! Any of you Annie shooters have a source for mags that won't break the bank? Or is this the price you pay for buying an Anshutz?

Just bite the bullet and buy a couple, because they will only get higher in this economy.

Thanks. I will probably pick up one more OEM mag just to have, but now after looking into the Savage mags I'm going to give them a try also. Apparently the mags made by Wisner for the older Savage models 35/34/65/85/416/982 work great with little to no modification, this according to several guys over on Rimfirecentral and reviews on Brownells website. At $16 a pop rather than $60 for OEM it's worth a shot.

bought 4 of the Wisners for my 1710, a fellow at the other Rimfire site sold the polymer end caps for them. They work like a charm. My factory original will sometimes cause the last round to get pinched, has not happened with these. My 2 cents you can just leave them on the counter

I have been fortunate. I purchased a Exemplar used as well as a rifle, both use the same magazine and both came with 2 extra mags

In my 5418 I use the Savage mags. In fact they feed much better than the factory Annie mags do.
Anybody who seriously concerns themselves with the adequacy of a Big 7mm for anything we hunt here short of brown bear, is a dufus. They are mostly making shidt up. Crunch! Nite-nite!

Thanks for the info guys. Just got in three of the Wisners from Brownells and they work great, no fitting required. Only issue I see is without the larger OEM base plate they can be pushed in further if you're resting the gun on the mag and bind the bolt. Solution, don't rest the gun on the mag!
