I have a Contender carbine that meets your criteria but the Encore might give you more options for higher intensity rounds. I like Savage 99's like the G in 303 or 300 Savage but have receiver sights rather than scopes. Have you considered pulling the stock to fit barreled action and stock into a takedown case. This might require a bit of attention to bedding to make re-assembly more consistent. I thought about this with a 98 Mauser and I believe gun writer Jon Sundra or possibly Finn Aagaard wrote about this option a number of years ago. True takedown bolt guns will be a custom proposition and very pricey. Just my thoughts. Bruce
