I got a .270 Winchester Abolt Medallion a year ago and i Love the gun. The trigger is damn good for out of the factory a crisp creep free 4 lbs. Slightly heavyer than I like buts its fine and can be adjustable. I have no problem with the magazine hingeplate at all. It just dont bother me and is a realy minute thing if you ask me. My gun like the Federal 130Gr. Barnes XLC X-Bullet. I topped mine with a Leupold VxI 3-9x40 Matte. A++
