Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Rimfires Takedown 22lr bolt action

Most of the older, inexpensive bolt action .22s are in reality “takedowns,” because one screw holds the barreled action in the stock, as with my Dad’s Winchester Model 04 from the 1920s, when he was a kid (slightly altered by me, of course):

The fact that the lone screw on this 04 has a large, knurled head with a coin sized slot shows that the rifle was intended as a “takedown.”
