[QUOTE="TexasHunter, post: 545993, member: 26082"] BB Funny you should mention this. Josh and I made the same comment to each other while we were testing. You could almost change shooters during the bullet flight time (as long as the other shooter wasn't also your spotter - haha). However, we were putting together a tactical competition rifle and most of these guys expect a detachable mag system with a minimum of five rounds on board and like to carry ten rounders as well, so deciding to stay with a traditional bdl style mag box was a bit of a concession. There are virtually no single shot military / Law enforcement platforms out in the field either. From a hunting rifle standpoint, I've seen very few who don't want a two or three round internal mag. With the right optics, reticle and spotter it is in my opinion feasible to make an informed follow up shot should your first shot not connect. But the decision of whether or not to take it resides with the shooter / hunter at the time. It's a matter of options. The extended mag opening / mag box just allows for the loaded round to be optimized. Used or configured as a single shot makes it a mute point. You can easily set up the handloads to the chamber if you're not concerned with fitting them in the magazine. Best Regards Dale [/QUOTE]
