Which do you like better on a bolt gun used for hunting?
No, they don't fall off or open themselves!
jmr40; Sorry I disagree, this is not my experience. Heavy recoiling guns (50 pounds of recoil and up) will do this occasionally but only once is too much for me. Read some of the field reports by Finn Aagaard for example. (http://www.amazon.com/Finn-Aagaard-Selected-Works/dp/1879356627/ref=pd_sim_b2).If the floorplate opens while firing the gun, that is either a factory defect or defective workmanship from a gunsmith.
simultaneously felt the floor plate release dumping the cartridges to the ground from my custom Winchester Classic Model 70 Super Express
This same thing happened to my .458 Lott rifle. But not in Africa; before it left the States, while I was getting to know her.Heavy recoiling guns (50 pounds of recoil and up) will do this occasionally but only once is too much for me.
Not often, but they sometimes do.

Yes it is.Sometimes simpler is better.
