I hope this has not been covered elsewhere but I could not locate.

I have a Bergara B14 HMR .308 and two(2) 10-rnd AICS mags branded by/purchased from Bergara directly. They each have a significant amount of play (about 1/2"). When firing with a mostly full mag, they both drop out from the rifle. They have behaved this way since day 1. The 5-rnd from Bergara has zero play and no issues. Top half of 5 and 10-rnd mags also appear identical.

To anyone with this rifle - have you experienced a similar issue? I would like to purchase a different magazines - preferably PMAGS or other polymer - but another post described the Bergara's as a rebranded PMAG (although visually it does not appear to be the case. If I will have the same issue with a new magazine (Bergara or other) I'd rather not spend the money.

Let me know - thanks!
