I am looking for a stock for the Stevens 200 xp .223 caliber which I have on order. Any suggestions for a decent stock that won't break the bank but will be more stable than the existing stock? I would still like to have a polymer stock but would it would be O.K. for a laminated one. How does one handle the issue of the magazine being part of the stock? I don't want to get into bedding and glass beading as I want to do this on my own. Can a person order from the U.S.? Thanks guys.
 
Since Stevens is made by Savage, is there other Savage stocks that will fit with a minimum of hassle? Any Canadian suppliers?
 
I am guessing it's because stocks are firearm parts like scopes. Keeps us Canadian terrorists from getting the good stuff. What a bunch of B.S.
 
I don't think so. I don't know where people get these ideas and/or made up rules from. Price has nothing to do with whether you can import something and a stock is no different than buying a scope from the states. I've bought several scopes, reloading tooling and supplies, and a stock from vendors in the states. Some things from ebay, the stock was from the factory (ATI pistol grip 10/22 stock). I've brought back (in person) 5000 bullets and 2000 primers and no one batted an eye. The biggest reason a lot of shops won't ship to Canada is because they are scared sh*tless of the ATF. They don't know and won't find out the exact rules so it's easier for them to say no. There are lots of shops that know what is going on and will sell to Canadians. You likely won't get a receiver or barrel, but springs, firing pins, etc. can be found. Start googling what you want and start making phone calls. The stuff is available. There is no duty or brokerage fees unless you're stupid enough to use UPS. At worst your going to pay shipping and GST which you're going to pay anyways buying in Canada, if you can find it in Canada.
There are so many Chicken Littles on this forum that think a US swat team is going to come storming through their door some night for buying a 70 dollar Bushnell scope online. Do anyone really think the US gov. gives a sh*t about a 70 dollar scope that is readily available here anyways? I think not. A fancy themal imaging scope is likely a different story.
Just my 2 cents...
 
All right already. I'll snoop around in the U.S, shops. Now any more suggestions about where to find a decent stock for the Stevens 200 .223 caliber??? I haven't been having much luck. I find the numbers confusing. Why don't they just say " this stock is for the Stevens 200"???
 
Easy there mr. 19 posts and brand new to the forum. If you get caught in the states with your ammo and gun parts you are f cked. It isnt canadian law you have to worry about we know this. Shipping gun parts from the US is not going to be as easy as you make it out. I have gone through this myself and 90% of firearms companies in the US will not ship to Canada period. The ones that do almost always will follow the $100 rule. And go back and read the forum rules about posting illegal activities. You just admitted to at least one occassion.
 
Okay. I'm more than willing to eat crow if someone can post a US gov document or export regulation that clearly states nothing over 100 dollars is legal to export. I'm not looking for a pissing match. I just find it hard to believe that there actually is a law stating that.
 
It really doesnt matter if there is or not. Bottom line is that is what companies that choose to export to Canada follow, and you are not allowed to export gun parts or ammo or components from the U.S. yourself. It is not that it is illegal to export items over 100 dollars it just means the company doing the export would have to complete a bunch of paperwork in order to do so. They choose not to bother with the paperwork, and set the limit so they can still sell to us.

The Brownell's page and the CGN page spelled it out about as clear as clear can be. There is obviously a lot of shops in the US that don't know or care. I've rarely had much trouble finding someone who was willing to ship something (firearm parts, stocks, triggers, etc) to me. Shoulda been able to figure out for myself that something as stupid as a 100 dollar limit had to have come from a government. The only other thing I can ask for now is; can someone recommend a cheap wine to go with a healthy helping of crow? Is dark rum an acceptable substitute? Also, I reread my posting and it sounds a lot snarkier than it was intended to. Wasn't looking to jump down anyones throat.
 
O.K. guys. I am glad everyone got the import/export stuff off their chests. Now, any more suggested retailers of stocks for the Stevens 200? I am discovering that the magazine in my rifle will have a magazine that holds 4 shots in-line not staggered and is therefore part of the stock. I would really prefer a stout nylon stock (nothing fancy) as opposed to wood but I guess I'll settle for what I can get.
 
I was on the Stocky's site and found the Long Range Sporter (LRS) rifle stocks. The description for the Stevens 200 said:

"Savage / Stevens 200 Short Action (fits the newer 4.40" Top Load / Centerfeed only) stocks have been fitted to the Stevens 200 barreled action, very minor modifications may be necessary for other models (such as the Savage 10 short action.) These units are for blind magazines (no floorplate, trigger guard inlet only.)

I assume that I wouldn't have to do anything as far as modifications as my rifle is the newest model which I also assume is a 4.40" top loader. No, I haven't recieved the rifle yet.
 
Hey Denn,

I'm in the same boat as y ou are and have been searching for something synthetic, inexpensive and not ugly... The best option I've found so far, as far as "drop-in" for the new center-feed configuration, is the Choate Tactical. Here is a link to a good picture of the stock, though this particular company does not export - http://www.combatstocks.com/Choate_TACTICAL_Stock_for_Savage_Short_ActionCenterfeed_Only.cfm (the real choate site seems to down at the moment - www.riflestock.com)

I actually just contacted Choate and it turns out that a secondary company is setting up to export their products in the next week or two... They are slated to email me back when they are ready to ship parts out. That stock actually sells for $250 on the Choate website (not the bargain $189 mentioned in the link above), but still well below the $450-1200 for other comparable models I've found so far.

Any gun part (excepting receivers) under $100 can be exported from the USA permit free. Meaning the exporter (seller) doesn't need a permit and you, the end user, the importer - also needs no permit. I have NO friggin idea why $100 - but go ahead and try to get something worth $102 on the customs declaration....it won't make it. Just what I've learned.

Triggers come across border easily if under $100 also.

It seems to me that items under $100 don't get opened and inspected at the border, which makes it faster by far regardless of what it is. I shop 90% online - thousands of purchases from south of the border...USPS and value under $100 is a problem free deal - over $100 duty taxes will appear, and it's going to be opened and inspected.

Anything that looks remotely gun/compound bow/weapon LOOKING shipped via UPS won't make it at all - ever.

Stocky's stocks won't ship, nor even sell to anyone outside the USA - heck they won't even let you PAY for it and have it shipped to someone in the USA...if you have a friend in the USA - send them money, get them to buy the stock, get it to their house, then remove all sales receipts, pack it up, put "wooden sporting goods" on the declaration with postal shipping, value of $96 - and it'll make it to you.

Stocky's LRS stock is friggin SUH-WEEEEEEEEEET - you want one of those - get them to send the pillars for the $10 - and bed it.
