I have both but prefer the detachable mag. My 25/06 and 30/06 have the detachable mag and my 7 mag has a hinged floor plate. It is a bdl model and I saw a conversion kit at cableas for model 700's. It seems good and I may try it but since I don't use the gun much I may pass. The main reason I don't use it is the detachable mag on my others make it easier to pick.
