Winchester m-70 Alaskan

So, the Winchester model 70 Alaskan comes in magnum calibers plus 30-'06. Why do they list magazine capacity at three rounds for the 30-'06? Is this a misprint that everyone else keeps repeating? The other versions of the rifle have a 5 round capacity in this caliber. This can't be right, ....or can it?

I would say its a mix up in advertising.

Simple error. If you look closely you'll find similar errors quite often.
