Re: 22 cal take down
I grew up with a PAPOOSE, it went everywhere with me. Recently my grampa gave me his Marlin 39. The 39 is a take down rifle but when broken apart the action is wide open for debris to foul up. I would not reccomend it to pack around that way. I also have a Sako Quad and it is a good rifle, but broken down it is still going to be in big pieces.
I really like that Marlin 25MB, I am going to look into one for my son. He currently has a CZ Scout, and a cricket. There is no comparing those two. The CZ feels like a real rifle and the Cricket feels like a toy. I went CZ because I want it to be something he can own the rest of his life.
