The magazine should hold 4 and you can get a +1 into the chamber by pushing those in the magazine down so the bolt doesn't pick up the top one. Ruger's website is more reliable than these descriptions that are automatically filled in, all the other chamberings of the guide gun hold only 3 due to the larger case dimensions which is probably where the mix-up originates from.

Ryan, this rifle uses a 4rd Hinged Steel Floorplate Magazine. Plus one in the pipe make it a 4 + 1.
