[QUOTE="James H, post: 190805, member: 5449"] First I think it is easier to pillar bed a rifle with a blind magazine. The advantages of the hinged floor plate is faster and safer unloading of the magazine. The safety part really isn't an issue other than if you don't put the round in the chamber there is absolutely no chance of an accidental discharge. There have been enough Benchrest matches won with a fluted barrel to indicate that there isn't an accuracy issue with flutes. Barrel flutes lighten the barrel and increase surface area for a little faster cooling. The only real disadvantage of barrel flutes is the price. James [/QUOTE]
