I'm considering adding a Takedown model 99 to my collection, as a shooter and not as a safe queen, and was wondering how the Takedown feature effected accuracy, reliability and stuff like that. I'd like to be better informed before I buy.

I'm also interested in the .410 barrel option. I'm assuming the .410 would only work with the .300s, because of the bolt face, but I've been know to be wrong quite often, are there other calibers that could do the swap? I haven't been able to lay hands personally on one with a .410 barrel so I'm in the dark about the whole .410 conversion concept. Do .410 shells fit in the rotary magazine, or is it a hand load single shot only conversion? How does the screw attachment on the .410 barrel interact with the fore arm wood?

Thanks for any help in getting me up to speed on the Takedowns.
