[QUOTE="CA48, post: 1613835, member: 21446"] If building a light weight hunting rifle I wouldn't go dbm. Bdl, or a adl setup would even be more secure, no latch to pop open where your rounds can fall out. I do like the Curtis dbm set up with the Curtis flush mags. Ive had a few hunting rifles with dbm set ups and it just wasn't needed or utilized. I like the Curtis bm, my accurate mags are pretty tight and don't rattle. The Curtis flush mags fit very tight and secure and will not rattle. Although the feed lips are thicker being machined aluminum and will not acomadate mag cartridges like the 6.5SS . Accurate mags will allow you to seat bullets to 2.980" which is plenty for the SS but rich may have more then one reamer so I would mention you want to use a dbm set up. I asked my smith to try and mill a Curtis flush mag out to fit the SS but he was not successful. [/QUOTE]
