Mine's a regular barrel, and I have an old Weaver K4 on it. It can be shot better than I can shoot it and although it was over $400 new when I bought it (before the Stevens 200 existed) and now they are around $300, I feel it has been good value. I like it a lot. If we could have the accessory barrel program here I would buy at least one more front end for it, in .308 for deer hunting.
