Yo fellow Barrel Nuts!
Today - I picked up a rare find. I bought (and took delivery) of a genuine Stevens 200 in .223 Rem... WITH A HEAVY VARMINT BARREL! (not the typical factory sporterversion) Yep... say it isn't so (you'd be wrong)? I had no idea, but apparently Gander Mountain had a run of these made by Savage for them (and priced at $499 if my information is not incorrect) back in I believe late 2008 and/or early 2009. A Part Finder lookup comes back with: MOD 200XP 223 REM VARMINT BLK OX (albeit this is a factory blue finish).
I'm going to post pics and such later, but right now this is in a brief clean-n-tear down/inspection mode with an eventual build coming (Kevin Rayhill stock + trigger job or replacement + likely Duracoat on the actioned barrel) to include basic accuracy items and enhancements along the way... (but I'll do a brief reassemble for some stock photos before the build.
I have never seen one of these - but happy to have one. I'm gonna pray shes a shooter.
Jim
