OK Weatherby, What's the problem with offering a removable magazine for 257 caliber Vanguard models?
As for spoiling the looks of a Mark V, I can only say that there are a lot of other slick looking rifles available with detachable magazines.
Loading and unloading mechanics. I guess I have no problem loading and unloading day or night. It's more a matter of convenience of where does one carry the bullets to load with and where does one put them when you unload. I carry four rounds in my shirt pocket and additional rounds in my pack just in case. Years ago when I hunted with my first rifle, (Remington 760 pump), I carried two 4 round clips in my pocket. Just a faster and easier way to load and unload, and easier way to carry extra ammo.
thank you all for listening
