I am interested in a Ruger stainless 10/22 rifle. Rifles are available in takedown and non-takedown versions. While being able to have the convenience of easy storage and portability of a takedown, I buy on the basis of consistent accuracy. Things that concern me.
1. Assembly from takedown will yield accuracy #1. Taken down again, then reassembled will yield accuracy #2. How closely will accuracy #2 match #1? For example, if #1 shoots 1 MOA for ten-shot magazine with specific ammunition, will #2 also shoot 1 MOA with same ammunition?
2. Over a sequence of takedown and reassembly, Does the takedown maintain the same level of accuracy. For example, using the item above, will takedown maintain the 1 MOA for ten-shot magazine with specific ammunition regardless the number of reassemblies from taken down?
3. The last concern is consistency. If the rifle's point of impact is not maintained, it really doesn't matter what the takedown rifle's accuracy level is. For example, the takedown rifle shoots 1 MOA for ten-shot magazine with specific ammunition, and when taken down then reassembled, it still shoots 1 MOA — BUT point of impact is an inch to the left and half-inch high from point of aim. Such inconsistency is unacceptable for a small game rifle.

Anyone who owns a Ruger takedown version 10/22 rifle, please let me know the level of consistent accuracy I should expect.
