Any of you have the 10/22 takedown? I am thinking of buying one.

FWIW- I've read and heard that mounting optics is basically a waste. The barrel doesn't consistently lock into the same alignment with the receiver, so your receiver-mounted optics will not necessarily line up with your barrel. The factory sights work fine because the sight radius is still in line with the barrel, but I've heard several times that you have to re-zero your receiver-mounted optic every time you take it down and then reassemble.

Again, this is all secondhand info and I don't have any firsthand experience with the takedown model. YMMV.

Gunner, do you have a receiver mounted optic on yours? Can you confirm or contest what I've heard about the zeroing problems?

I can confirm it. I had one, mounted a scope and got it all dialed in. Broke it down, put it back together and it shot 6" high and right. Even sent the scope back to leupold to be checked.

Everytime. So I dumped.

Neat idea, but wasn't what I was looking for.
