Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles Suggestions for a Take-down deer rifle.

Literally a matter of dropping the magazine, pushing out the two lower receiver pins, and stowing it away. An R-25 in 243, 260, or 7mm-08 would be hard to argue against. I'd probably get a collapsible M4 style stock for it as well, if concerned about overall length.

If you want to go cheap, a H&R single shot is a single screw take down and won't cost much. The couple I have seen shoot very well.

With a Choate composite stock and composite forend, this could be a viable suggestion! With a 22inch bbl OAL would be @ 38inches .....

I still would want a (ltwt) 7-30W or 7-30Imp, if not a .243, .250Sav, .260Rem or 7mm-08.

Only the .243 and 7mm-08 are factory offerings, and the .243 doesn't always shoot well in Handi's.

Easiest route would be to find or set up a 7mm-08 lightweight.

Couple of members on the Graybeardoutdoors site own and shoot the 7mm-08 ltwt.

Are Browning Lever Actions takedowns? I think they are and they come in great cartridges as well.

Maybe 30 seconds to break down your first time you do it. It's by far the easiest of all the other mentioned other than the folding stock encore. But I bet the r25 will be more accurate more times than not than the encore but that's just and educated guess

.

I would suggest a TCR-83 or TCR-87 rifle, which has interchangeable barrels available in a plethora of chamberings.

It's an easily-scopable, break-open single-shot rifle that takes down as easily as a single-barrel shotgun - pop off the forend & unhook the barrel (done).

Kushtekaa,
What's the longest measurement of your panniers?
Are they hard or soft?
I have a few of the rifles mentioned is why I ask and I just bought my first Dual Sport (Super Sherpa) last month so I am interested in seeing what you come up with..

I don't have to drive on the highway to get where I hunt so I just slung my 16 1/2" barreled .358 across my chest with the barrel down to bear hunt this spring..
Hard to make it out as a rifle slung that way..

Funny thing while you don't like your BLR I just got my old .308 BLR out last night thinking it might be one of the better candidates for this style hunting as it would be quick to bring into action if I saw a wolf crossing the old logging roads I hunt..
There is lots of wolf tracks and crap on these roads in the spring..
Plus I like the way they handle when set up with a peep site..
Be sure to post what you come up with..
I couldn't find much info out there even after doing a search on the advrider.com site..

Browning Superposed Continental over/under in 270 or 30-06, or is 6-9K over budget?

Don't have the panniers yet, but have the skillset to make my own if I have to. Another option I saw recently here on the Fire is a Model 8 or 81 remington semi-auto; A Browning design with the humpback. Supposedly they are a take-down. Can anyone vouch for this?

Here is another route for hunting off your bike..
Quite a few ideas about trailers both homemade and commercial:
