    Stevens 200 for $199


    I just saw in the sales flyer for Academy Sports (if you have one near you) that Stevens 200 rifles are $199. That is quite a steal. I called my local store to confirm, they have several, and it is the true and correct price.

    Just wanted to let ya'll know.

    Where is the closest Academy Sports to Harrisburg, Pa.???? I dont need one, but I'd go get one for that price.

    Re: Stevens 200 for $199

    In Birmingham,AL the sale is only for .270 and 7mm-08. They had a lot of .270s and a few 7mm-08s when I went by today. Usually their sales run for a week.

    They had two less 7mm-08s when I left. One is gonna be a Mcgowan varmint barrel/ Stockade Woodchuck .260. Haven't decided yet about the other, but thinking hard about a short .338 Federal.

    I bought one today in Tulsa, OK. Got a .270 they have the tan stocks, no sights, total was about $215.00, they had both .270 and 7mm08.
    might make a .35 whelen for hunting.

    Re: Stevens 200 for $199

    So, for the switch-barrel enthusiast contemplating building a 7mm-08 sporter barrel onto one of their actions for deer hunting, they could expect to see some takeoff 22" 7mm-08 barrels show up on gunbroker or in the member classifieds soon eh???

    For some reason I have become resposible with my money! can't figure it out maybe the girlfriend and kids have changed my thinking couldn't tell ya. I think I may need some group therapy since there are 2 Academy stores on the way home ;D I just hate to put more on the plastic though with the way things are going in the world and I have my (HOPEFULLY GOOD!) tax return like my man cave reloading room. Dang what could I build what could I build? I sure am glad they don't have these in 223 or I would have already gotten one. Later,

    I just called my local Gander Mountain. They do not price match on firearms, if they did I would have a few new Stevens' at this price.

    Re: Stevens 200 for $199

    Can any new 7mm-08 owner confirm the barrel twist rate? There seems to be conflicting data suggesting that unlike the Savage 1:11.5 twist, the Steven's are 1:9.5 twist. Thanks, Hoot

    Re: Stevens 200 for $199

    I was just in the Academy in Austin last weekend looking at these and talking to the manager for quite a while about them -- they had about 10 270's and the manager was telling me how they don't normally carry them and they just got them in for Black Friday, but I should check the ads because they'd probably be running a sale on them pretty soon to get rid of the rest that hadn't sold yet. I checked the ad on Sunday, no dice, left for Wisconsin for a few weeks on Wednesday, and now they go on sale No academy's up here! I don't feel as bad because I just bought a new savage today, but that is a heck of a deal! The gun was also different than the others I'd seen, had a very nice recoil pad, very much like the ones that PAD that savage had. Also they were brown not grey. Too bad, could have had a long action... but probably for the best after all.

    Re: Stevens 200 for $199

    Since you asked, I measured the twist of my new 7mm-08 Stevens 200, purchased at Academy for $199 on Wednesday.
    It's 11.5".

    Of course I'm new to the board, and probably didn't do enough homework prior to my purchase.

    Only 2 days in and I'm a little frustrated to discover that my 7mm-08 has a suboptimal barrel twist, and that I won't be able to upgrade my stock in the future with an Accustock takeoff.

    Naturally, I bought two boxes of ammo at Academy with the gun: Remington CoreLokt 140 gr pointed soft point. There was no 120gr on the shelf. What can I expect with this ammo?

    Hey GunnerD, you got a great deal any way you look at it! You could have a great hunting rifle right now for ridiculously cheap or put a good amount of work into it (new trigger, stock, barrel, T&T action, etc) and still be sitting ahead of the game with such a cheap original purchase. My father deer hunts with a Stevens 7mm-08 11.5" twist most of the time, and that gun off the shelf will shoot about 1.5 - 2 inch groups with core lokts and a $50 tasco on a cheap set of bases and rings. For hunting, that's good enough to hit a deer heart at 200 yards every time, lungs a lot further than that. You could get smaller groups if you're target shooting and buy top shelf ammo, although I haven't seen much target ammo in that caliber up here where I live.

    I bought a 7-08 two weeks ago, 353.00 out the door. 15 dollars more then Wally World here in N. Fla. from a Gun Shop. I'm happy and sad at the same time. Pensacola is the closets Academy to me and it would cost 100.00 + in gas to go there and back. :'( I need to check the twist.
