Should work just fine. Yes for top loading actions there might , notice I said might, be some restriction but I have never noticed it much and I don't usually have to reload at high speed anyway. The difference imho is purely cosmetic. Pitcanny rails are butt ugly to me so I don't want one unless it's an AR which rate the same on the cosmetic scale imho but I'm an old walnut blue steel nice cut checking sort of guy and ymmv which is fine.
