My 12BVSS (.308) has a blind mag but I never use it, just single load by dropping the round in the action. The Axis in .223 does not feed well just by dropping a round in so I load up the box mag. And, no, the Axis mags are not the greatest, but, it works.
Between the two models I'd be hard pressed to make a choice. Maybe the one with the heavier barrel?
