Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Rimfires stevens favorite, model 30

I just bought the remake of the old stevens 'favorite' for my boy, has anyone else tried one yet? It seems to shoot ok, but im a little dissapointed in the fit and finish, the new ones dont seem to be as slick as the old ones, any input on this rifle would be welcome...thanks, gutpile

gutpile,<BR>Are you looking for history of the gun, or something else? (btw, wish I'd thought of that handle .... always brings a smile.) <P>LC

all i was looking for is input, like what kind of groups are folks getting with them, any malfunctions...etc, gut

I bought one 20 years ago for daughter,first<BR>thing I did was refinish wood, took to smith<BR>and removed the transfer bar and slicked the<BR>trigger pull a little. She shot it for a year<BR>and moved on to another rifle. I used it scoped for 10 years as a squirrel rifle, gave<BR>it to son-in law as a pest rifle. No problems,never tryed to make a match rifle out of it but accurate enough for close work.<BR> greybeard
