Parkwest Arms Take-Down Rifle System

Parkwest Arms, a premier American firearms manufacturer known for its legacy of precision, performance, and hand craftsmanship, is proud to announce their SD-76 Take-Down Rifle System—a compact, modular evolution of the acclaimed Model 76 platform, designed specifically for the traveling hunter or professional marksman.
Every Parkwest Arms rifle is a statement of excellence, blending traditional techniques like hand-checkered stocks and precision-blueprinted actions with modern, state-of-the-art manufacturing. From carefully selected walnut blanks to field-proven mechanical systems, Parkwest rifles reflect a standard rarely seen in today’s world.
Their Take-Down Rifle System is a continuation of that philosophy. Originally designed in 1986 by master gunsmiths Don Allen and Pete Grisel, the Model 76 became a modern classic. Today, Parkwest Arms proudly carries that torch forward with the SD-76 Dark Continent—one of the world’s most trusted rifles for dangerous game. Now, with the Take-Down System, Parkwest expands the SD-76’s versatility even further, allowing users to break the rifle into two compact components for easy travel—without compromising reliability or accuracy.
