Do you prefer a hunting rifle with a detachable mag?

[QUOTE="glewis, post: 731313, member: 53719"] I have both types and I split my hunts equally with both. A spare dbm offers quick reloading as well as an opportunity to switch to an optional load. Since I've never had to do this, my spare is just a back-up for any problems with the first mag. For follow up shots I feel a tad more confident in my floor plate models for reliable problem-free cycling (push feed bolts) for the following reason. Both my dms guns are by the same manufacturer with each mag designed to hold 3 rounds. Chambering the first round from a full mag can be iffy at times due to bolt override. As a result I do not top off the mag once the first round is chambered. Cycling follow-up shots with only 2 rounds in the mag has never been a problem. Both guns use plastic mags and whereas I really like the guns, the mag quality would be my only negative comment. The mag construction/function just doesn't match the quality of the rest of the gun. This is why I feel more confidant in the floor plate guns and I'd probably recommend a floor plate rifle to first time buyers. A dms choice will likely need t a back-up mag anyway, an additional expense in the purchase. My experience with different brands for dms is limited to one manufacturer. I would be interested in a poll as to who makes the most reliable mag for dms platforms and what back-up mags for different makes cost. [/QUOTE]
