Taylors is well known in the cowboy action shooting and historical circles. The Alaskan Takedown is a departure for Taylors, and a step into the modern era by a company that primarily deals with historical interpretations of firearms from the 19th Century. And we\u2019re smitten. The more utilitarian chamberings and compact design make the Alaskan Takedown the perfect pack gun.<br \/>\nThe Alaskan Takedown is based off the old Winchester 1892, one of the many John Browning-designed guns. The \u201992 was built to be a pistol caliber lever action long gun, and Taylors&#8217; version stays true to this vision. It comes chambered in either .357 Magnum, or .44 Magnum. It has a 16\u201d or 20\u201d barrel finished in what in a matte chrome. The stock and forend look like plastic, but they\u2019re actually rubber-coated wood. The best feature is its takedown design. The rifle comes apart by unscrewing the magazine tube, then twisting the barrel and receiver apart. It\u2019s simple, fast and easy. The Alaskan comes equipped with Skinner Express Sights and it is tapped for a scout scope.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/taylors01.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"taylors-alaskan-takedown-a-guide-gun-with-wild-west-roots-shot-show-2014\" title=\"Taylors Alaskan Takedown: A Guide Gun with Wild West Roots\u2014SHOT Show 2014\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"Taylors Alaskan Takedown: A Guide Gun with Wild West Roots\u2014SHOT Show 2014\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-17749\" alt=\"taylor's01\" src=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/taylors01-400x266.jpg\" width=\"400\" height=\"266\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/taylors01-400x266.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/taylors01-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/taylors01-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/taylors01.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nThe example Taylors had for us out at the range on Media day was chambered in .44 Rem Mag, and it was a joy to shoot. The modern sights made for fast target acquisition, but the size of the rear aperture is too big for accurate distance work. That\u2019s hardly a liability. A guide gun is not meant for long distance shooting. It is meant to be small, light and fast. The Taylors has this in spades. The MSRP is $1,324.<a href=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/taylors04.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"taylors-alaskan-takedown-a-guide-gun-with-wild-west-roots-shot-show-2014\" title=\"Taylors Alaskan Takedown: A Guide Gun with Wild West Roots\u2014SHOT Show 2014\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"Taylors Alaskan Takedown: A Guide Gun with Wild West Roots\u2014SHOT Show 2014\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-17747\" alt=\"taylor's04\" src=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/taylors04-400x229.jpg\" width=\"400\" height=\"229\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/taylors04-400x229.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/taylors04-150x85.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/taylors04-1024x586.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/taylors04.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/a><a href=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/taylors05.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"taylors-alaskan-takedown-a-guide-gun-with-wild-west-roots-shot-show-2014\" title=\"Taylors Alaskan Takedown: A Guide Gun with Wild West Roots\u2014SHOT Show 2014\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"Taylors Alaskan Takedown: A Guide Gun with Wild West Roots\u2014SHOT Show 2014\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-17748\" alt=\"taylor's05\" src=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/taylors05-400x235.jpg\" width=\"400\" height=\"235\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/taylors05-400x235.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/taylors05-150x88.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/taylors05-1024x602.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/taylors05.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<a href=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/taylors02.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"taylors-alaskan-takedown-a-guide-gun-with-wild-west-roots-shot-show-2014\" title=\"Taylors Alaskan Takedown: A Guide Gun with Wild West Roots\u2014SHOT Show 2014\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"Taylors Alaskan Takedown: A Guide Gun with Wild West Roots\u2014SHOT Show 2014\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-17750 alignleft\" alt=\"taylor's02\" src=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/taylors02-243x300.jpg\" width=\"243\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/taylors02-243x300.jpg 243w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/taylors02-121x150.jpg 121w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/taylors02-830x1024.jpg 830w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/taylors02-259x320.jpg 259w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/taylors02.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 243px) 100vw, 243px\" \/><\/a>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Taylors had their new Alaskan Takedown at the range for SHOT Show, and we put it through its paces.
