Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy; its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery.

May be I'm wrong, but I'm doubtful that the rifle, once taken apart and reassembled, can keep exactly the same point of impact, since the scope is installed on the receiver. In theory, the best system is Blaser's, where the scope is mounted on the barrel....

Sorry, I was in between customers and phone calls and when I seen your post for some reason I thought you meant "Tear down" which means something entirely different too me. Never mind! Big Grin

Recoil Rob
The new 81 takedown is a scout scope style gun, when the barrel is
detached from the receiver the forward mounted scope goes with it.



I have two of the older, steel BLR 81's that will be set up for take
down. I got the idea from one of the levergun specialists.

They just drill a hole in the recoil pad, replace the stock bolt with a
Allen head bolt and send along a long "T" handled Allen wrench. You just
poke the wrench through the buttpad, unscrew the stock from the gun. The
barreled action is short enough to fit in a takedown case. My scopes
have Warne detachables too.

I'll grant you it's not as compact a package as the Browning full
takedown but it's not a scout scope either.

Aahh! A scout scope mount! That rougly confirms my doubts...
