^ Very encouraging! That was my main concern with the 'takedown' version ... it's good to hear that the accuracy isn't effected.

My main reason for considering the 'takedown' version is that I would think that the 'standard' version might be a real *&^%$#@ to clean and service properly without disassembling it.

I have talked to two experienced Smiths about disassembling the 'standard' BLR ... they both 'strongly' cautioned against it, and said they would not even do it themselves! Both Smiths implied that it is so difficult to re-assemble it properly (gears, etc.), that they are usually sent back to the factory if disassembly is necessary.
