Thanks for the come-back J.S.!
Using 'Google Search', I found an interesting field-test review on Cabela's website, about the new Browning BLR Take-Down Rifle, written by Dan Carlson after he attended the 2007 SHOT Show.
In his second last paragraph, Dan comments;
"The rifle was allowed to cool, taken down into two sections, and then reassembled. We commenced firing again with no difference in the point of impact. ... "

I don't think his 'test' was very scientific (shooting at bowling pins), but it's still encouraging. When you can fit it in, we'd be interested in hearing about your test results.
Good Hunting,
