For me the only real downside is the detachable magazine, which can be annoying in a hunting rifle if it gets lost while you're packing it in, etc. Otherwise...they real good.
I see this mentioned all the time, but I’m wondering how many guys have actually lost mags while carrying theirs. I’ve carried a few different tikka lites a good distance on foot, in an UTV, and a lot in a ranch pickup. never had a mag accidentally drop. And unloading/reloading the rifle is easier than with a floor plate, and much easier than any blind mag.
Other than that OP, as mentioned some twist rates aren’t great. Mainly 243 with a 10”. And of course the one size fits all action with short or long bolt stops bothers some guys. Functionally it’s a non issue. But I understand if one doesn’t want a “.223 in an ‘06 length action”
