Like the looks of the Browning takedown in stainless. If I got one it would be in .358 Win. Want to know how accurate and durable they are.

Everyone I've conversed with who has had one has said that they are very accurate, and even more accurate than most of their bolt-guns. Haven't shot one myself, so that's just hearsay, but I trust the sources.
Just some reading you might enjoy:

Also, the 358 is based on the 308 case, which is an extremely accurate round...which is another issue entirely.

Well I know about ten people and I am also one , that has had timing issue's with the new light weight BLR. then there are many people out there who have had good service from their guns .
The 358 W is an excellent round for reloaders as WINCHESTER makes onlythe one load for it. The federal is the only one loading the 338F , but offers some choice in bullet weights .
Case's can be formed easy with well lubed inside necks from 308 brass .
Here in Central Ontario (Mixed Farms and bush ) there is almost a 358 W Cult following as the round works great on deer moose and of course BEAR!.
Would I buy another 358 W chambering ? Yep !! but it would be a ruger bolt !! And Ruger has dropped the line for lack of sales .

I just bought a Ruger Hawkeye SS on Gun Broker last week. NIB .358 Win. Hasn't arrived at my local dealer yet. I have a .308 so all I need are the dies and bullets and those are ordered to.

358w
If you look back on Past forums(Last year ) you will find Beartracker , who has a 358 Ruger bolt .
I had just sold the BLR after three atempts to have it repaired , so then bought a tikka in 338 F as no one at the time chambered the 358 in a bolt action.
I would have loved the ruger since then too - I could also load up the lead 35 cal bullets ans banged away at a low cost .
Hope you will enjoy your gun.
