I was wondering if anyone has had any experience with the aftermarket 25 round magazines for the marlin 795 (e.g., like the ones that promag makes). I want a magazine that won't break after a few hundred rounds are put through it. Would anyone make any recommendations? Thanks in advance.
Marlin 795 Magazines

I bought 3 ProMags last winter, (HiCal had a sale on them when you bought 3). Tested them out first in my Papoose (video below) and then in my 795. They were boringly reliable, with the exception of not actuating the last round bolt hold open.
They went into regular rotation working over the gopher patch last spring (along with my 795), and I ended up by a couple more when I spotted them at Bass Pro on sale (5 total now).
Used them heavily all summer, never once had a problem with them.

Hmmm, these are very mixed reviews just as I have found on other company websites (very polarized even as they either seem to function with little to no error or they render the gun useless). I wonder what kind of factors influence the reliability of the magazines (i.e., weather, temperature, storing conditions, etc.). Given the nature of the reviews, I'll probably stick to buying 10-round magazines. Anyways, thank you for the help by sharing your experiences.
