[QUOTE="LongBomber, post: 1978613, member: 14435"] I just don’t get this “have to chamber the round to empty the magazine”. I have several rifles with blind mag’s. You tip the rifle flat on its right side with the butt down slightly and push the bolt ahead enough for a round to pop up, then slide the bolt back. Round drops out, and the bolt is a good 3/4” from anywhere near being closed. No round on the ground like some have said? I don’t really have a preference between the two, blind mag is a bit lighter. And its one less thing to go wrong. I have broken two floor plate setups, both had the latch come apart from recoil and require new parts to fix. A rifle under 7 pounds all up in something like a 300rum or bigger 33’s I would go blind mag. [/QUOTE]
