The stevens 200 is basically the same as a savage 110/111. I have the 111 in 7mm Rem Mag. Never shot factory ammo through it, but it'll hold them inside an inch pretty easy off a benchrest with my handloads. Don't slack on the chambering you want. Guns can be ordered to the store. My longest deer kill was with a 308. Dropped him with an old Remington 600 (yes, 600) at around 400 yards off of a perfect prone rest carved into the landscape. Had 150gr cheap factory ammunition, the 308 is no joke. Thought he was a doe cause he was too far to make out the antlers in the little time I had to make the shot.
