stevens

I have a stevens 200 that started as a 22-250, but was soon massaged into my medium-bore brush gun. They are great for the $ and can shoot decent too. Plus you dont have to ponder too much about ruining it if you decide to put the krylon to the stock.

Here is what they can look like with $270 and some elbow grease. Now a 358 win with a 20" adams and bennett tube through midway, and a richards microfit safari classic stock.

Heres how it shoots as a 358, this was the first group it shot while still in the plastic stock.

All ths talk has made me want another one! Maybe a standard length that i can make into a 6.5-06
 
Man, with all the Stevens 200 threads, I'm beginning to think that we should have a separate forum just for Stevens 200 talk.

This is not intended in any way to diminish this thread or the success that everyone has had. If I read much more of this, I'm going to have to go out and buy one of these rifles for myself and start customizing it like you folks have done with great success!
 
220Swifty, I'm going to assume or at least guess that spending that extra $250 on that Stevens was for the fun of fiddling...rather then spending that extra $250 on a superior rifle that would resemble that stock...or is there more to it then that?

Good luck finding a similarly accurate rifle, in 358 WIN, that looks as nice, for $300 plus $270. That and doing something for yourself makes it worth that much more. I'm just getting ready now to start working on my mine. TodBartell may say that it's turd polishing, but if my shiny turd does what I need, who cares what TodBartell says ;)
