The Evolution of a Magnum Platform: Introducing the RZR MAG3 for 2026
In the world of saddle hunting, innovation doesn’t happen by accident. It’s driven by hunters who push gear to its limits, demand more from their setups, and refuse to compromise between comfort and mobility. That mindset is exactly what led to the creation of the RZR MAG platform—and now, for 2026, its next evolution: the RZR MAG3.
A Look Back: The Legacy of the MAG 2.0
When the MAG 2.0 was first released, it changed the conversation around large saddle platforms. At the time, hunters had to choose: go small and stay mobile, or go large and sacrifice packability. Big platforms meant more foot room and easier maneuverability, but they also meant extra weight, bulk, and frustration on long walks in or climbs up the tree.
The MAG 2.0 shattered that tradeoff.
It entered the market as the lightest magnum-sized saddle platform available, redefining what a “large” platform could be. Hunters finally had access to generous foot space without lugging around an oversized, cumbersome slab of metal. The MAG 2.0 quickly earned its reputation as a go-to platform for hunters with bigger feet, those wearing rubber boots, or anyone who valued stability and freedom of movement in the tree.
But innovation never stops.
The Next Evolution: Meet the RZR MAG3
With the MAG3, Arsenal didn’t just want to make improvements—they set out to make it even bigger, without giving up the mobility that made the MAG platform so popular in the first place.
The result is a true magnum platform measuring 16 by 14 inches, offering even more usable foot space, easier transitions around the tree, and unmatched confidence when setting up for hard-angle or weak-side shots.
The RZR MAG3 isn’t a redesign—it’s a refinement. It’s the next step in the evolution of large saddle platforms, built from real-world feedback and a relentless pursuit of efficiency. Arsenal had one clear goal: maximum foot space without sacrificing weight or packability.
And that’s exactly what the MAG3 delivers.
What Sets the RZR MAG3 Apart?
In saddle hunting, preferences vary wildly. Some hunters love minimalist setups and tiny platforms. Others rely heavily on their sticks. No matter where you fall on that spectrum, one truth remains: larger platforms dramatically improve maneuverability. They provide more room to pivot, more stability for weak-side shots, and far greater comfort during long sits—especially for hunters with larger feet.
Until now, the problem was mobility.
Large platforms have traditionally been heavy, thick, and awkward to pack. They snagged on brush, filled packs too quickly, and made mobile hunting less enjoyable.
The solution? The RZR MAG3.
Unmatched Packability
What truly separates the MAG3 from every other large platform on the market is sheer packability.
- Weight: Just 3.4 pounds, compared to most large platforms in the industry weighing 4–6 pounds or more
- Thickness: Only 1.5 inches thick, making it incredibly easy to pack
That slim profile allows the MAG3 to ride effortlessly in exterior pouches, including packs like the Arsenal Agile and Adventure, without throwing off balance or adding bulk. It’s a large platform that finally makes sense for true mobile hunters.

It offers maximum foot space in a 16 x 14-inch platform, without the traditional penalties of added weight and bulk.
