Go look at a stainless 30-06 Sako A-7. It will be as light, as durable, and as accurate in the field as most any high dollar rifle you can buy. It has an outstanding detachable magazine system that you can remove and use, or if you choose, in the 30-06, you can completely load the rifle magazine from the top while leaving the mag in place. Just leave the mag box in place and ignore if you so choose. To add icing to the cake, the ergonomics and handling characteristics are outstanding. The plastics used are hell for stout along the lines of a Glock or SigPro capable of taking a good amount of abuse. Probably the best deal in rifles for the dollar going today.
Best:)
