I made a number of comments on takedowns elsewhere on the forums.

A Winchester 88, umm no ... but probably fine in its niche.

So far I am enjoying my break open double barrelled shotguns, rifles, combinations. And enjoying my Mauser M03 takedown rifle.

A well made Mauser 98 takedown would be the ultimate however.

Why a takedown?
1. Switch barrels
2. Easy to transport in a smaller case, on planes, trains and automobiles
3. Easier to conceal, when in "civilian" environments such as hotels and the like where "guns" instill fear into the feeble minded.
4. With a switch barrel, can become far more familiar with the "single" rifle than the dude who needs dozens of unfamiliar firearms.
