I just picked up a new Savage Axis .223 rifle and I'm confused about the magazine capacity. The Savage Arms website lists the rifle as having a 4 round capacity. When I did a search online looking for spare magazines they are all listed as 3 round capacity. When I loaded the magazine that came with the rifle I was able to load 5 rounds. I haven't had a chance to fire the rifle yet so I thought I would ask here if anyone knows what is going on here. How many rounds does your magazine hold?

I don't own one, but the website is probably just a typo.
There is a thread over at Sniper's Hide with a guy selling 10 round mags as well as some info on the 3/4 round mixup.
It is not unheard of to be able to stuff an extra round in a magazine, but it may not feed properly. have you tested it?

I own that rifle, magazine capacity is 4, you can stuff a 5th one in.... But... Yeh, she don't like it... I load 4+1.... Put one in the mag, load it in the chamber, drop the mag and load 4 more....
