    Agreed, the mag release is easy to touch at the most inconvenient time.

    The spring could be stronger.

    They do work just aware of this.

    No one mentioned the 'Redneck Reload' technique yet?

    Run the floorplate, open it and turn the rifle upside down, barrel skywards, stuff cartridges in and shut floorplate, turn it around again and off you go.

    Takes a bit of practise to drop the rounds in correctly but it works.

    @dannyb could always buy just the barreled action, plop it in a chassis. Heaps of options and pretty cost effective. I've got a Sharps Heatseeker for sale for instance
    Identify your target beyond all doubt
