It's a nice concept, but it seems like trying to do too much with one thing. Versatility is great up to a certain point and then it's just getting carried away. The fishing reel in a rifle is probably getting a little carried away.
Having owned a marlin papoose and currently a 10-22TD I still have to say the 10-22TD is my go to break down gun. The papoose was great except tow major flaws; no high cap mags and the rear sight could get a little off from being russled around. The 10-22TD can at least take reliable high cap mags if you want them. Some people won't want them, but it's an option. Mine has been pretty reliable, but in fairness I always replace a couple factory parts with VQ parts anyway.
Me neither. Not at that price. You can pick up a Survival .22 Rifle that breaks down for $240 built by Henry.sure it's small and light, but is it really worth $425? I just don't see/get it.
