I went to the range today to do some load testing .
A guy was finishing up so I waited to post my targets.
The guy was shooting a 98 Mauser in 338-06 with a Savage style barrel nut .
He had a extra barrel and scope in the case.
He claimed to have 3 other barrels for the rifle and scopes (It apeared he had Leupold quick detach rings).
I forgot to ask who did his work.
I plan on looking up his member number and asking.

Have you heard of a takedown system like this ?

How close would the rifle shoot to original zero after changing back to a barrel and scope?

Sounds like finding the owner and asking him will give you the best answer.
T/d rifle accuracy is very much an individual thing,like any rifle.depends on the quality of the job. The better the job,the less effect there is from the variables.The more precise the t/d and QD mount system, the more reduced are the effects of the compounding factors of variation.
I had alook at a $27k t/d mauser which i thought the threads were too loose. Speaking with Ralf Martini,he like me ,prefer the tightest thread possible/practible for a t/d. So when you screw the barrel in,before lockup there is the absolute minimum of barrel slop in the thread system ,preferably none if possible.

If you want to see a well made Takedown rifle look at the Sauer 202 t/d They start at about $5000,00. CHEERS

I bought my M200 which is the earlier model (they changed the trigger/safty in the 202) for ~$600 US NIB afew years ago. I saw a NIB M202 recently in the Gander Mtn by my place for under $1100 as I remember the price. They`re very nice rifles and accurate as you get from a factory gun. The take down is easy and it used to be new bolts and mags were available to change from std to mag cartridges also with the same action.
