Stevens 200

I just sold one chambered in 22-250 and it was hard to give up, but that was the deal with the wife for the handgun I wanted to buy. Excellent, accurate rifle that doesn't break the bank. I bought mine from a friend for $400 and it included a standard Bushnell Elite 3200 that he had mounted.
He had only put about 60 rounds through it, and I about 300 before selling it with the scope for $350. My friend had ordered it new through the mail but I can't remember where. I'll send him an email and ask him.

Here's his answer:

I bought my Stevens 200 a few years ago and I paid somewhere around 330$, last time I looked, the price had gone up some. It's one of the best entry level rifles on the market. Here is a complete range report that I posted back in 2008:http://www.canadiangunnutz.com/forum/showthread.php?t=275317&highlight=Stevens
I got a Stevens 200 in .223 from SIR (now Cabelas) when they first became available for $319 or $329. For a brief while they even went down to $299.
The only issue I had with it was an occasional failure to strip off the magazine. I recall reading on the net that Savage would provide a stronger replacement mag spring for those rifles, but fixed the problem/modified the magazine in later production.
About a year and a half ago I got another in .308 on sale for $329 from some place out West just before Ontario's HST was applied to out of province purchases (incidentally the magazine is different from the older .223). There's been talk of these going out of production the past few years on account of the newer Savage Edge (or did that name change?) so I made a point of picking one up in .308 before it was too late. Now even my last Lebaron Catalogue just lists .300 Win Mag and 7mm Rem Mag, probably from older stock.
They might go for as high as $380 (supposedly the regular price for the .308 that I got), probably more like $350 if you could find one. I bet you can find one out there still if you keep looking and think it worth your time if you really want one.
Good Luck!

Got my 200 in .223 from Cabela's. It will do 1" with 50gr v max, but I wish I had gone for the Savage with a detachable mag. The fiddly loading of the 200 is my only complaint.
