A lot of folks are very happy with the Stevens 200, which I am one of them. Very accurate, reasonably well made rifle for a low price, normally around $265-$300 new. Seen a few for sale in the forums in .243 w/decent scope for about $325. Basicly, it's an older Savage w/o accutrigger in their old style synthetic stock. It makes a perfect fit for those on a tight budget and is WAY better than the Rem 710! The stocks are a bit rough, factory leaves the mold lines on, saves money, I reckon. And the finish on the bolt handle could be a bit "thicker" but overall very nice, exspecially on target paper.
