IMO they need to either give an option for a floor plate or 5 round magazine.
Some love the mag, some hate it. Horses for courses I guess.

I hate it. No surprises there. I hate any magazine that protrudes from the stock much,as in most cases thats the balance point and right where I want to carry the rifle when hunting. Really is a pity they don't do a floor plate magazine

Was it expensive? If I recall they are a budget rifle.
