The downside to toploading is unloading, if you intend to keep the rifle unloaded in the truck.
If there was a perfect application for a detachable magazine, it would be on a truck gun.
Why would one keep a rifle unloaded in the truck? Unless of course if you live in one of those dumbphuck states, like Blackheart and I'd assume Merryland.
Keeping a rifle loaded in the truck is perfectly acceptable here and I'm assuming in Montana, based on past experiences there.
MT, TN and 17 other states have no prohibitions against loaded long guns in vehicles. 31 states prohibit loaded long guns in vehicles.
And Sam lives in Montana, so he doesn't give a hoot how it's done in Merryland. Nor do I.
