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.And it is that balance point when carrying a rifle one handed that the DBM systems get in the way of.
The Howa Mini in 6.5 Grendel with the lightweight and standard barrels will make a great hunting rifle, except for the DBM system getting in your way.
