The mag sits pretty close to the balance point of the rifle, where I naturally want to hold it. This would be merely annoying, except the mag release sits proud and in front of the mag, making it very easy to release accidentally. Unlike a scope, it adds very little extra functionality over a flush floorplate that has been standard on Howa short and long action rifles for ages. So yeah a scope is kind of annoying but adds a lot of value, this mag design is very annoying and adds very little value to a hunting rifle.
