RE: H&R Handi Rifle vs Stevens Model 200
 

So then the stevens is the best of both worlds and a steal of a deal???

Lol....i own an AR and i would way rather have it over the AK because of looks and i love how it shoots

RE: H&R Handi Rifle vs Stevens Model 200
 

In my opinion yes. If you get something else you either want something that looks a bit nicer, want features the stevens doesn't offer (detatchable box mag, or a drop down floor plate) or you just have to have the Accutrigger. Or you simply don't like the Savage rifles.

Lol....why wouldnt they make the stevens with an accutrigger?

RE: H&R Handi Rifle vs Stevens Model 200
 

The stevens are basically the discontinued or older model the way I see it. Sort of like getting a reflex bow instead of a hoyt. You don't get cutting edge technology but you save some bucks as well.

They could easily offer the stevens guns with the accutrigger or other options, but that would up the prices. The stevens rifles are priced the way they are because they can be produced for less money and faster if they don't have to concern themselves with different options and models. Simplicity normally means a bit better price.

The stevens rifles come in two flavors, long or short action. You don't get to choose what kind of stock or finish you get. Just what caliber you want, and that is probably limited.

Some of the Savage package deals don't come with the accutrigger either. I have seen a basic 111/11 with plastic stock and cheap scope go for around $300 as well. Then again maybe they were so cheap because they were being discontinued. They still list it on the website though.

That's my thinking on it anyway. I could be wrong, it's been known to happen;).

Well cool!

Than i guess i have had my mind made up! lol

RE: H&R Handi Rifle vs Stevens Model 200
 

anyone else have a different opinion ro just have anything to say?

RE: H&R Handi Rifle vs Stevens Model 200
 

They are both good rifles, it's personal prference. They are both accurate and nice to shoot, so take your pick.

RE: H&R Handi Rifle vs Stevens Model 200
 

Hands down no question about it get the Stevens I bought one for my son and my father bought one there great for the money. Nothing special but twice the rifle of the H&R. I've had some bad expericences with H&R.

RE: H&R Handi Rifle vs Stevens Model 200
 

I'd get a Stevens.
