It's a Remington Model 742 WoodsMaster semi-auto. Like yours, (which I am assuming is a bolt action?), it only holds 1 in the chamber and 3 in the magazine. The action has to be open to insert/remove the magazine. You load the magazine, insert it in place, then close the action, which chambers a round, just like a bolt action, but without having to stuff the shells down into the detachable magazine. Holding the action open and dropping the magazine out, instead of having to rack the bolt several times to unload it is just quicker and easier, much like an SKS with a fixed 10 round magazine... you load it through the open action, but can push a button to flip the mag open, which just drops the shells out. Oh, and speaking of the 30-06, which I've owned for 30+ years, because of its unique design, they have NEVER been able to make a larger magazine for it, unlike other rifles with detachable magazines, like my SKS, for example. It's a 1956 Romanian military issue, complete with the bayonette, but now sits in a TAPCO polymer stock, with a 20 round detachable magazine. Other than cosmetics, it still functions the same... semi auto... one trigger pull, one shot.
I also disagree with background checks if I want to give my son one of my rifles. He's my son, I have taught him gun safety since he was 6 years old, and got his first BB gun. He's already passed background checks when he bought himself a .22, then a 30-30. I know he's not a felon, nor a nut-job.
I am with you 100% there as I can say the exact same thing. Never cared for the NRA, and never will. Like you, I've said my piece, and don't feel like getting anymore involved in what is sure to become a name-calling, hate-spewing flame-fest, so I'll just sit back and watch with some
