Re: H-S vs. Badger DBM
The HS mags suck balls, there way over priced, any way hard to find. The Badger system uses battle proven AICS mags, which can be had for round 85 bucks, there's even knock off mags out there, but a HSP stock will require some inletting in a a stock.

Re: H-S vs. Badger DBM
Though I've heard mounds of evidence in favor of the Badger, I will put in a small vote for the HS. Are the mags good? Eh, once you open the lips up right, yes. Do they rattle? yes. Does it have a great feel and a better profile than the Badger, I think so.
The Badger has a lot going for it, don't get me wrong, but with a little work the HS one can be good too, if you're leaning toward it. It was this shot here:

from the AR15.com precision rig pic thread that got me all hot and bothered for it

Re: H-S vs. Badger DBM
I installed the HS magazine kit on my rifle and on 3 of my friends rifles I used it for over 5 years it's funcion was flawless always positive both with the 10 rounds magazine and the 4 rounds magazines only problem was the wait time for every kit.
I don't have experiance with the badger system so I can't say.
good luck with whatever you choose.

Re: H-S vs. Badger DBM
I had problems when I ran a HS on my .308 that had the pss stock.
I only had the 10rd mag. It'd feed 75% of the time.
I ditched the HS bottom metal and PSS stock and snatched up a McM and a Badger DBM and it's runs 100%.
The HS was a bitch to get the mag out. The Badger is easy.

Re: H-S vs. Badger DBM
I have had the Badger in 4 rifles, 3 short action and 1 long action. All perform flawlessly. You don't save anything going with the HS when you factor in cost of magazines. Also the AI mags are pretty tough compared to the HS mags. The choice is easy for me as you can see.

HS MAGS do suck balls. They rattle really bad when empty and feel like stamped POC. Go badger, much eaiser.

If you have any feeding problems or mag release problems, make sure to check the lips of the mags and the inletting on your stock (which you will need to do a bit of), respectively.
