I recently purchased a Bergara B-14 Squared Crest Carbon chambered in 7mm PRC. It comes with a 5 round CIP Accurate-Mag Magazine. My only complaint with this rifle so far is this magazine, as it's louder and clunkier than I would like. I've been trying to explore if there are alternative options to use for this rifle such as something polymer. To my understanding all the other chamberings of this rifle are fitted and equipped with AICS mags/compatibility. Without having to buy a bunch of mags and attempt my own trial and error, does anyone have input or advise on this?? Any wisdom would be appreciated.

Magazine options for Bergara B-14 Squared Crest Carbon in 7mm PRC

Please let me know which route works best. I am also considering ordering an extra mag for my bergara crest carbon 7 prc but don’t really know what will works best.
Only thing I’ve ordered and tried so far was Magpul’s Magnum length polymer mags. Based off specs looked like it might work. The magazine works great to the rounds themselves but the overall length of the magazine as it fits into the chassis isn’t right. So back to the drawing board I guess. It looks like Bergara makes a few of their own magazines that might work but anywhere I looked they’re sold out or back ordered.
I was told by MDT that they are planning to offer their polymer 3-round magazine for 7MM PRC later this year if your rifle is able to accept 3.850 CIP length magazines.
Thought I share what I found out. I contacted MDT they said the 300WM 5 rd metal magazine with the 3.850 length will work on the Bergara crest 7 prc. I also contacted accurate mag and for their product the recommendation was the AICS 300 RUM 5 rd metal magazine (the 3.850 length). I haven’t decide which one I will order yet.
The new MDT polymer 3-round mags (3.850 length) just got released today... https://mdttac.com/7prc-mdt-cip-la-polymer-magazine-3-rnd/
I've got the same rifle, and really dislike the attached magazine: it's heavy, clunky, pokes you in the ribs as you're carrying the rifle, and has sharp edges that scrape uncomfortably on my fingers while loading. I just ordered one of the MDT mags.
I have the 5 round mdt mag in 300 WM and it works well but still rattles and had to wrap it in duc tape. For those that have and are using the 7 prc polymer mag can you provide feedback? I plan to order one when it’s in stock. Thank you
The MDT 3 rnd poly 7PRC mags work great... fit much better and much quieter then the medal mag that came with the rifle.

My specific rifle is a Bergara B14 HMR Carbon Wilderness 7MM PRC, and yes, it works fine with it.
