Default RE: detachable magazine or drop floor plate??

As far as I'm concerned, the detach mag is just for fun, and a floorplate is more practical. If it's in a rifle where you'd need to load fast, then I like detach mags, but basically I only use my detach mags when I'm plinking with my SKS or when I'd rather use it instead of a handgun for home defense, or in a pistol, which I have because I'd need to load fast and shoot faster.

As far as hunting goes, when are you going to need 5 shots, let alone another full mag?? In benchrest, you aren't going to be pulling rounds fast enough to warrant the need for that quick of reload, and that basically leaves plinking, which it's really handy to have detach for.

BTW, I find that feeding and accuracy is usually better with floorplate designs, since there are fewer moveable parts and less to go wrong.

That's about all I care to write, I've got more if ya really want it, but I think i've said enough

Screw the 10 ring, keep them in the zero!!!
