Evil twin, you hit the nail right on the head.
My vote is for the Valmet M62/76 as the best weapon overall, but I�ll agree, the long magazine is a liability. Honestly, I really prefer the more traditional stock of the M14 as well. However, I�ve yet to find the rifle that was custom built with everything I would like, so I vote for the Valmet regardless of the magazine sticking down so far.
For engagements under 50-75 yards, canting the rifle will work just fine, but beyond that, it�s a major hindrance to accurate fire.
