    Very nice, the take down BLR's are hard to find here.

    Obviously our rules with transporting firearms makes it a little difficult to carry one all the time in a vehicle, as strictly speaking we need to be able to secure it in the vehicle and be able to see it/or be in it at all times and not leave the vehicle unattended. Which means even stopping off for a piss at a public toilet on route to hunting, or a coffee and pie at the bakery is technically a no-no.

    I carry my shortened a-bolt micro 223 most days if I am working in the field and have that in the truck. It's not a take down obviously, but the barrel is now only 14 inches long and with the suppressor on it' still 2 inches shorter than facotry length. Handy for shooting hares, rabbits, pigs, deer from the truck (on private land).
    I'm drawn to the mountains and the bush, it's where life is clear, where the world makes the most sense.
