Steven's 200 in .308Win

I don't know why some spend so much money to get a new stock and trigger, or even a barrel for that matter for a Stevens 200. At that point, why not just get a better gun?

I dig the 200 and am thinking of getting one in .308, but I'd bed it, stiffen forend with arrow shafts, do a trigger job and call it a day. To me thats a good rifle for the money, not the rifle +++++.

Scope is another matter.

I only have so much $ to spend at one time. I have a couple other expensive hobbies to support and they work the same. Buy something simple I can afford, customize and improve it as funds allow. My 200 isn't going to get a new barrel, it shoots better than I can hold it still.

My M77 MIISS in .270 though, shoots like a POS and always has. I've had it for 20+ years and its limited to 100yds because it'll barely throw a 3" group. I'd really like to get a new barrel for it, and would appreciate suggestions.

Not really my point but if you did that you could have a decent shooting gun for about 700$

Oh ok, so your sayin' swap the barrel, the trigger group and the stock for about $1200 and still better than all other factory rifles. Got it.
Ok, I'll buy that.

Well then, I need to get two! One with no mods as a beater and one built up for accuracy. Still pretty cheap really. Be a lot cheaper than the way I went.

I think by the time you add shipping, taxes, materials to bed the existing stock while waiting for your new stock then total cost without a scope is closer to $1384
