Thread: takedown rifles.

Any one got one,
would like sum thing a bit more compact and less obvious when traveling around the country, and with a two barrel system, perhaps a bit less bulk, to have in ute and boat.
Quick assembly with no tools.
looking at mauser m03, merkel helix, sauer 202 takedown, verney carron impact bolt action.
Have found a Verney-carron in 9.3x62 for $2400, and merkel's for $3000-3500. Cad.
I know there is plenty of blaser users, but I believe you need tools to assasamble,
Has anyone got, owned or used any of the above rifles.
your thoughts.

Used a baikal single shot culling goats, worked well

Go Sauer , with steel action , even the std ones break down , so no reall need for the dearer takedown versions , most use 3 bolts that clamp the action , then the barrel slips out , bolt locks direct into the barrel .

The Blaser uses an allen key, take down & reassembly in an easy minute. Have found mine to have a very repeatable point of impact - I haven't personally handled the others you have mentioned so can't comment on those. The Blaser platform is certainly very proven & barrels easy to source etc. I love mine & wouldn't trade it for anything

This took me 26 seconds to break down with the supplied tool. Would have been faster but I was eating a bit of toast.😊

You've lost your plastic washer .

R93, thank you for that info, Looks like the Blaser is an option, I thought there was more to dissasambly on them,
Can you confirm, the screws are held in the stock, ? can't readly be lost ?
Have a few prices coming in, no such thing as cheep and takedown in the same sentence,

Baikal, 400 bucks. goes together in 5 seconds with no tools

Action screws are retained in the stock. There is really nothing to lose unless you are careless.

No. Just run out. I have sourced some new ceramic carbon fiber composite ones. They should last at least a week.
I will send you some😆

Whatever rifle you buy get some barrel bags in bright colours if you get other calibers.
Almost left a barrel in the hills one trip.

I have only got 2000 of them ��Righto ....I will send ya some.

You could consider an AI as well. Apparently you only need a fuck off big barrel vice, a fuck off big action wrench, some go, no go gauges and a coupe other items to break them down or change barrel.

Apparently they are good as a hunting or varmint platform.... Apparently.
