TacSol Owyhee .22LR TD bolt
Price has crept from 1800 down to 1650 since coming to Australia in 2020. 1.77 kg bare weight. Drilled and tapped for an optics rail which is sold separately. Takes rugers 10/22 rotary mags. Made in Ameurica
Its nifty but it had better be reasonably accurate for the price.

Name me a situation where this is more useful than a sat phone with 000 written on it…
Edit; seriously, call 000 and someone will come rescue you within 3-5 days in the most extreme circimstances.
This is just some seppo larping bullshitZ

Takedown rifles are legitimately useful if you're looking for something to take camping or on a rural trip where you've got permission to shoot, but it's not primarily a hunting trip (but there might be opportunities for plinking or shooting small game); they don't take up as much vertical space as a standard rifle.
It's no different from how an SxS shotgun can be taken down (barrels detached from action) for storage/transport, and no-one thinks that's "larping bullshit".

Soooooo they’re basically still pointless: righr.

By that logic, so are pretty much all double-barrelled shotguns, and that's clearly not true.

I mean the shotguns design is from an age where packability and survival were actual concepts.

Not really - it's so English gentlemen didn't have to carry a full-length shotgun around with them all day. Break shotgun in half, put in carry case, nice and easy to carry around and also doesn't alarm the neighbours or the other members at your member's-only social club or wherever.
And if nothing else, a gun simply taking up less space in the boot (or even being able to fit the whole gun into a backpack or gym bag etc) is still a good thing for a shooter, even today.
