Not to hi-jack your thread, but why do so many folks want a detachable magazine? I do know those who do have never traipsed an hour in the woods to get to a hunting spot and looked down and realized that somewhere along the way a brush or branch knocked the magazine release and now the magazine is gone. My 7MM-08 has blind magazine and I have never had any problems with it. I can unload it without cycling the bolt by reaching in and pushing the round forward enough to get a hold of it and it can never be lost.

Really just curious.
