I took my Stevens 66-B "Buckhorn" bolt action to an Appleseed shoot. [If you don't know, they use the AQT scaled down for use on a 25M range].
I knew they "didn't recommend" a bolt gun, nor even tube fed S/A's. But I "gun what I brung". Several instructors noted the smoothness of the bolt. I know my Stevens 200 bolt is NO where near as smooth.
I ended up shooting a 235/250 with that gun with "bulk Federal" ammo.
As a side note: There was a 12 yo boy there with the same model Stevens rifle as I had. It was quite a chunk for him to handle. The next day he had a 10/22 and qualified also.
