As far as take down rifles are concerned, it's hard to beat the system used by the 1916 Newton. It is similar to the Mannlicher Schoenauer take down system, but simpler, since like the Model 88 Winchester, only one stock bolt is involved, and it does not require a tool to unfasten it. Moreover, it has a built in mechanism for altering the tightness of that bolt to allow for changes in the wood stock, a feature not shared by the M/S. Like the M/S and Model 88 system, it does not require separating the barrel from the receiver, but it has the advantage of accommodating a wider range of cartridges than the Model 88, up to and including the .30 Newton and the .35 Newton, both equivalent to present day short magnums. The Model 88 is limited to cartridges of the .308 Winchester class by the shortness of its action.
