California law requires that so-called "semiautomatic, centerfire rifle" must have a fixed magazine i.e. non-detachable magazine with a capacity no greater than ten rounds.

Not true. Rifles that take detachable magazines are legal here, but magazine capacity is limited to 10 rounds whether it's fixed or detachable.
