Rod - there was one on my table at the last Savage Fest, 30-30 Remington with a repair to the stock at the top left side of the tang - stock problems in the tang area are quite common with these from what I have seen. I am sure that many of these Stevens have been over looked by someone just thinking it's 'another Marlin' at first glance - I look for them and have walked by some that I later notice the second time around a show.....make me wonder how many I never noticed that second time around!!!
