I seem to recall reading somewhere that not only did the blind magazine help save weight but also that it made for a stiffer stock, which in conjunction with Mr Forbes’ full length bedding was how he achieved the accuracy he was noted for.
I’ll probably never quit kicking myself for not buying a Fieldcraft when they were on close out. Had a 6 Creed in my hands at a Cabela’s that was priced at $1350 and walked away like an idiot.
