The big brother takedown version of the TacSol Owyhee is finally here. In a previous edition of our weekly series The Rimfire Report, fellow writer Rusty S took a look at the 22LR version of the TacSol Owyhee bolt-action rifle. The ultra-lightweight and accurate platform gives users a functional stock, that allows for extended hunting or pest control duty all in a compact platform that can be stowed easily on a side-by-side, 4-wheeler, or even an adventure bike. Now all of those same capabilities and more are being offered in the new Whyhee Takedown 22 Magnum rifle. I’ve had my hands on one for a couple of weeks now and we’ll be getting an even closer look at it in a following edition of The Rimfire Report. For now, let’s take a look at what the new Owyheee Takedown 22 Magnum has to offer!

The Owyhee Takedown 22 Magnum is going to fetch a high price compared to other 22 Magnum rifles out there but if Rusty’s endorsement of the 22LR version is any indication of the quality you’re receiving from TacSol, then perhaps the Magnum version might also be worth the $1,350 MSRP listed on the TacSol website. Getting magnum power in a compact platform can indeed make a huge difference for those looking for a lightweight pest control or backpacking rifle that packs a little more punch.
