.223 Christmas gift - Need opinions
Which would you rather have. Gun will be used for some Coyote Hunting and occasional plinking. Please note that I can get either gun/scope combination for the same money.
1. Savage .223 laminate stock, blue barrel with accutrigger. Topped with a Cabelas Pine Ridge 3-9x40 scope. Or 2. Stevens Model 200 (.223) with Camo synthetic stock, blue barrel (no accutrigger). Topped with a Nikon Prostaff 3-9x40 scope. I would like to know what you guys think about this. It seems like the Savage .223 with accutrigger would be a no brainer, but does the advantage of camo for coyote hunting and a better scope (Nikon Prostaff) outweigh the savage laminate stock with accutrigger? Please help. Thanks. |
Tough question....................????
I'd take the Stevens "set-up" and pay for a trigger job ! It's the better scope I'm after. Both rifles will do the job. |

stevens model 200 is the same action as the savage model 110
|
i take the savage all the coyote will see is the blck hole at the end of the barall :hit:
|
I'll reiterate: Stevens is made by Savage... The 200 action is the same as the Savage 110.
The accutrigger is very nice, but it's not a necessity. I'm hunting a Savage 12BVSS (heavy barrel stainless with laminate stock), my hunting compadre uses a Stevens 200 (blued over synthetic), both in .223. Neither one of us have had a coyote argue yet! |
