In the local gunshop today, guy had a stevens 200, .223 that had been put into a savage stock with a detachable mag/metal and steel trigger guard and the new soft recoil pad. It had a weaver bases and a junk scope with tasco $5 rings on it. I asked him how much without the scope and rings, he studied a minute and said $320 out the door. I paid him then and there, have it at home and just mounted some millet steel rings and a Nikon Monarch 4x12x44 UCC I had traded for last winter on it. I thought I got a pretty good buy, with the way prices are escalating. Oh yeah, I cleaned it out and it appears never to have been fired, still had the light coat of grease in the barrel, no blue wear on the rails, etc. I may try to shoot it when it cools down about dark, give you guys a range report. Also, do these guns have the 1-9 twist or slower?
