ORIGINAL: okcmco

It is the best deal in the bolt action rifle world. Period. But I think they are ugly and I LOVE IT!!!!
I have a savage 110 in 3006. Shoots an inch at 100 yards with $12.00 ammo. I don't know what it would do with handloads or match grade ammo and who cares. The Remington corelokts work just fine.
BTW the Stevens 200 is a Savage 110 action mated to a slightly different stock and without the acutrigger.

HaHa I have the same gun! And I get the same results with the same ammo you use!!! I am considering buying the Stevens 200 in .223 for coyotes though. That grey stock is uuggllyyyyy! But hey I plan on painting it up with some camo and using it as my beater gun anyway!

I have an older model 112 that was a Christmas gift some years ago, it was a package gun in 270 win.
I didn't like it because I couldn't get a decent group, 1-3/4"- 2" was as good as I could get.
I sent it back to Savage and wanted them to fix the gun, well they sent it back to me with a 5/8" group and ask me just how much better did I feel it should do.
Then I decided to try another brand of bullet, I got some Hornady sst's I think it was and my groups shrank to sub moa without any other changes.
I had been using Nosler ballistic tips in everything else I owned for so long that I didn't consider the possibility that this gun wouldn't shoot them. Now I have a Savage heavy 223 that will not shoot the 60 gr. Nosler Partition, and that is a shame for it would bea good choice for a deer bullet in that caliber.
That in turn led me to try the Speer 70 gr simi spitzer, and now I feel it is the best bullet for medium game use in the 223 caliber, I doubt the partition will out penetrate it on deer.

Ok, i have a stevens model 200 in 30-06. I am 16 years old and i took 2 deer this last season with my rifle. For the money its a good gun but if you compare it to better, more expensive rifles you wouldnt think its a very good gun at all. I was sighting in my gun and was quite surprised in the amount of kick this gun delivers to your shoulder. I then shot my stepdads 300 win mag( which should kick harder) and it felt like nothing. The muzzle hops around also when you shoot it. It will throw off the accuracy and make it hard to hit your target. In my opinion i would have rather bought a more expensive better quality gun because i can realy tell that the gun is very cheap. Obviously it works well enough to bring home two deer but i would still rather have a better rifle. Thanks for reading and good luck

I had a Stevens model 200 rifle topped with a Nikon 3-9x40 in real tree camo. That was a good gun. To bad it was in .270 win. or I would have kept it.
The triggers do suck horribly though, I was looking for a timmney trigger kit to fit it but never got around to actually buying one. Once you take care of the trigger problem they are excellent gunz.

I have a Stevens 200 in 223 purchased at Wally World as well, 4 or 5 years ago. After honing the sear a bit (and I mean just a bit) and setting the trigger spring at it's lightest possible tension while still maintaining a good latch, I can get 1/2" groups at 100 yards with Hornady's 55SX and 55 VMax, both, with H4895 and CCI450 primers.

I am quite happy with the little rifle. I use it to carry around on my ATV, and did not want to risk a high dollar rifle for that use. For the money it cannot be beat.
