The Francotte action takedown is nice because the screw is captive (same for the barrel.) The Westley Richards action takedown uses a screw in the rear of the action, and that unfortunately can be unscrewed simply by removing the rifle from a gun sock...and then the guts fall out. (I know from experience!). But the barrel takedown on the WR is better both because it appears stronger, and it doesn't need a separate screw (just drop the lever and twist the barrel).

I'll post more pics tomorrow.
