Drawbacks?..........................

Why do you feel you have to access a Tikka ejection port? Pop the mag in, pop the mag out. How hard is that?

Why do you think you need spare mags? Do you think Badger mags are any cheaper? Or Wyatt's? On your rifles with hinged floorplate, do you carry extra bottom metal in your pack, in case the set on your rifle falls off? When you push a Tikka mag in, and hear the "click", it isn't going anywhere.
