I don't care much for protruding magazines.I'm also a fan of the hinged floor plate design, although I too find it difficult to top feed. The action is a little too small for my big thumb
If I'm just shooting from the bench , I single load. If I want to load the magazine, I flip the rifle over and drop five rounds into the open floor plate.
