I just ordered a Stevens 200, 22-250, $302 OTD.

Initial loads will be Nosler 52 gr, HPBT competition, Win/Win, H380.

I got a Simmons WTC a while back for $99, so with rings mounts etc, will have about $450 in to this set-up.

I will build this up slowly, might need a Timmney trigger to start with. This seems to be a light barrel, and will see how the scope works for me. Lots of possibilities. Ideas, anyone?
 
I had a 200 in .223, and it was a great shooter. Before you buy an aftermarket trigger, play with the factory one. A friend and I adjusted mine down to a crisp 3 lbs with no real creep. cant ask for much better than that on a hunting gun, and its a free mod! Just be carefull not to go to far. (its only screws so easy to back up) I did that, then bought a Wood stock of ebay for $50 (which is for sale now, p.m. me if interested) I also played with the factory plastic stock, speant about an hour with an xacto knife, file & sandpaper to smooth all the ugly and uncomfortable seam lines out and painted it two color brown camo with Bi-mart plastic paint. It came out ok, but the wood was a big inprovement. Good luck-
 
How did you adjust trigger?

I just got this same rilfe and would like to lighten up the trigger How did you get it so light?

Thanks

I'd have to agree with taking it to a gunsmith and have the original trigger worked on. He only charged me $50 and I have very little take-up and over-travel. And the pull is right about 1.5 lbs. Very clean work.
 
The new Stevens rifles have a center feed magazine , which is in the stock, so a lot of stocks won't fit for now. I am sure a lot of stock makers will be changing their tooling to make this adjustment.
 
AHHH... Good point, I had forgotten they put the centerfeed on the Stevens line also.
Well, if B&C makes the CF stocks, I'll bet they'll be nice!
