I decided for no apparent reason to take my Stevens 200 in 223 to the range last Sunday. It's nothing "special", it's completely factory stock, with a cheap Nikon buckmaster 3-9x. The rifle still has the factory crappy trigger in it. I DID stone the trigger a bit, and take a little tension off the spring, so now the creep is gone and it breaks at a measly 4 pounds...

This was the first group I've shot from this gun in over a year. 5 shots, from a cold, clean barrel...

The Load is 25.5 grs of OLD surplus BL-C(2), Hornady 50 gr Vmax, and Rem 7 1/2 primers.

Not at all bad for a cheap, ugly coyote gun...
