Good lookin rifle. I wasn't a big fan of the stock on the storm model.

Savages are too high fallutin" I got a Stevens 200

It's been several years back but Academy had Stevens 200 in 7mm-08 FDE synthetic on closeout for $199. I was stupid.

Just checked my FXP3 .243 and it is a 3-position safety. Never noticed that before as I just moved it all the way forward or backward.

I am the proud owner of a Stevens 200 in 223. It was given good reviews here on the Fire several years back when I asked for something to get me in the 223 world. Glad I made the purchase.

I liked playing with them, but now I can buy a M700 ADL cheaper.

Steven's 200 .243 1:7 twist McGowen Varmint 24", SSS Competition trigger, SSS recoil lug, Rayhill bolt handle and lift kit, HS Precision stock, EGW scope rail, Warne rings and Vortex Viper 6 5-20X50.



Steven's 200 6X47 Rem 1:12 twist Sin Arms barrel, Leupold 4-12X40 AO, Leupold QRW rings and bases, with SSS trigger, bolt handle and recoil lug.



Daughters first deer rifle "Bruiser" Steven's 200 .223 Rem, Redfield Revolution 2-7 power scope.



Steven's 200 stagger feed .250 Savage 1:10 ER Shaw barrel, B&C Carbelite stock, SSS trigger and bolt handle, and Vortex Viper 2-7X35.



Savage M10 6X45 1:7 X-Caliber barrel, fluted bolt and barrel by Twisted Barrel, PT&G recoil lug, Rayhill bolt handle and lift kit, Accustock, Cerakote Coyote tan, prairie ghost camo hydro dip on stock, and Timney trigger.





I have one more Steven's 200 that'll become a .358 Win one of these days. I have all the parts to put it together, but I'd like to cut the barrel down first.

The Stevens M200 is getting harder to find, but not impossible. I also remember when Academy Sports put them on clearance for $199, most of them were in 7MM08 with the FDE stock. A lot of guys says that the 200 was just the Model 11 without the accu trigger.

I'm a fan of the older staggered feed Savages, but I hate the acccu-trigger and the center feed. And like others said, the price point sucks now.

The Stevens 200 was just a pre-A/T Savage 110 series.

When I wanted a quicker twist 22-250, I used to buy Stevens 200 .223 1-9" ROT take-off barrels to rechamber. I put several of them on Marlin XS7 actions and have had few complaint.

Congratulations to the young men!

I picked up one of the 12fv’s in 6.5 from cabelas last winter on sale with the rebate and it shoots the 130 Berger hybrids just over half inch. Pretty good for under 300 bucks.

I bought my twin boys savage "package'" rifles in 270 12 years ago. Used the cheap 3x9 simmons for a couple years until one crapped out and put 4x fixed weavers on them. Also at that time put timmenys triggers in. Those rifles will shoot as good as if not better than an expensive rifle.
