If I had my druthers all my bg bolt rifles would be blind box mags. But I have some hinged floor plates and some dms. Anymore the cheap rifles all have dms.

I understand that WE ALL don't like the same thing...we all don't have to like the same things.
I'm NOT slamming you or criticizing you.
It's "funny", 'interesting' how things change.
I'm old enuff to remember
Rem ADL wood stocks -- now ADL are composite < and Blind Mag.
Win 670 wood stocks -- Blind Mag, et.al. brand/models
You said,
" Anymore the cheap rifles all have dms".
It USED to be that 'Cheap Rifles' or cheaper, had Blind Mags and more expensive rifles had hinged floorplates.
I have divested myself of all my Blind Mag rifles, except ONE. My 70 Black Shadow 300 WM.
Why?
Blind Mags don't allow you access to the Mag well without removing the STOCK.
Sometimes we need to clean the mag well. Sometimes we need to change the mag spring or change/modify the
follower. et.al.
I personally DON'T trust the rifle to maintain ZERO after removing and replacing the stock. I personally RE check zero
everytime after removing the stock.
With D M you don't have those problems.
These are MY reasons.... NO ONE else has to agree with me.
We all have our preferences.
