Winchester was offering a takedown model 94 in i beleive 450 Marlin just before they shut down operations.

If you get a No5 .303 then put a PROPER slip-on pad on it!

There is a single shot Baikal 30-06 in the exchange right now for $250 that would work well.

How about a Savage 24? I have an older "Campers Companion" model (.22/20)that breaks down into a nice little pouch.....do the new ones with the larger deer calibers do the same? I think it's a good concept if you want the option of a shotgun as well.

What a great combo for a camping gun. Good choice Jager.

Having handled both, I prefer the Baikal IZH-94 with it's double action and double triggers.....very well constructed and nice wood to metal finish. The only thing I would like different is to see the rifle bbl on top

See if you can find a Thompson Center TCR 83. They were nice little rifles and fit the bill perfectly. Damn shame the plant burned down and they stopped production.

That was a far nicer rifle than the encore.
