I have three versions of takedown rifles. I have had zero issues with either. I have two that made by HS Precision - excellent quality, accuracy, no tools needed to put together, holds zero. You can pay $5000 for a new one or look online and likely get one for $3500. If you buy used, get the SN before buying and call HS to see when it was made. They have altered them and made them better over the past 7 years. The older ones are fine but the newer ones are better. The other is the Blaser R8. These are excellent quality, very accurate and easy to use. I like them a lot. You need a tool to secure the barrel to the stock. It works well. I have repeatedly taken them down and reassembled with no issues or change of POI. The switch barrel aspect is cheaper than any other if you like different calibers. I like them due to light weight and accuracy. Scope installation is very easy. Prices range from $3500 to $5800 depending on what you like in the way of a stock. Euro Optic sells these at very good prices. The Blaser folks in San Antonio are very helpful as well. I see no price drop in used Blasers to buying new. The last is the Dakota Traveler. I like Dakota - accurate, dependable, model 70 type action. This requires a tool as well. I have taken them apart and reassembled with no issue on accuracy. Price is all over the place. New run $8000 +/-. Used run $5000 and up depending on wood. I like them all and shoot them. If you travel, the takedown case attracts very little attention and easier to handle. If you have questions, PM me. | |||

I am at the range. Shooting a blaser r8 6.5 creedmoor with federal 140 grain non typical ammo ($17 at academy). I shot a 3 shot group with the blaser at 100 meters. I took the gun apart after each shot - complete disassembly down to the bolt head and removed the scope. The gun shot .40 inches. Two shots touching. It is super windy too. No change in point of impact. Mike | |||
