Was Browning the rifle where the detacheable magazine had to be attached to the floor plate and then closed?? I seem to recall one type of rifle had this stupid arrangement and I think it was Browning. But not 100 percent. I cannot imagine the genius that came up with that arrangement.

I remember years ago when looking for a .257 Roberts the gunsmith showed me a Browning ( I can't remember what model) but the bolt was huge. It also looked fugly so I passed. I've never liked the look of them, especially the high gloss shiny stock finish.
