Good way to save weight, reduce cost, and shift the balance point forward.

If Montana had a standing army, a 270 Win with Federal Blue Box 130's would be the standard issue.

Also makes for comfortable carry, it will be warmer and usually more rounded, to me it feels better in hand.
Also eliminates the possibility of the latch opening and dumping cartridges.

aalf, I have converted several Mausers to blind magazines and it results in a good weight reduction. Agree on the M700 no weight advantage either way

No biggie either way. My FC is 12 or 13 oz. lighter than my Alpine. Both balance and carry well.
OTOH, mags that stick out the bottom are annoying to me, others love 'em. Access to the action, by floorplate or removeable magazine is handy at times.
What fresh Hell is this?

It seems to me THAT is ignored or not mentioned by many. Also if anything gets below the follower of a blind magazine, the stock has to be removed to clear it out. My first REAL deer rifle (AFAIC) was a 700 BDL in 1975. In all these years I never have had a floor plate to pop open or get opened unintentionally. *now I know of one a hunter had that opened UNintentionally; care to guess what BRAND it was ? Jerry

I'm good with either. Neither is a disadvantage to me.

It can make for a significant weight difference with some rifles, (4-6 oz), not so much with others. As long as the weight difference isn't huge I'm OK either way.
Most people don't really want the truth.
They just want constant reassurance that what they believe is the truth.

Most of my favorites are adl. But, as others have said, I’m ok with either.

Only thing I don't like is jacking out the live rounds through the bolt. Made me cringe when I was teaching my daughter how to empty her ADL .243. Other than that they are great to carry.

I never fully chamber a round when emptying mine. Just push the bolt forward until the cartridge pops clear of the feed lips, then open the bolt and rotate the rifle to dump it into my hand. Repeat as needed.

Howa offers blind magazine rifles, and some come with a detachable magazine conversion kit in the box too.

I personally have no use for blind mags.
It is irrelevant what you think. What matters is the TRUTH.
