stevens 200

[foxx]

were Stevens 200's (SA) made with different screw spacing, or are they all the same? What might they be? I am wondering how well one in .243 might serve for a 6mm BR build?

Stevens 200's apply to all the same rules as the regular Savage 10/110 series actions do with screw spacing and Magazine types.

This Link will help you identify which magazine style you have.

All long actions all have the same spacing of 5.062" regardless of mag style. The SA-SF has a screw spacing of 4.27" and the SA-CF is 4.40".

If you are building a 6BR as a single shot, either action will work great. If you want a repeater, I would opt for the CF action so you can try to pick up one of the 6BR mag bodies and follower.

Thanks, Boots.

That's what I was hoping was the case.

and I figured you'd help.

I almost PM'ed you directly for this info. :)

When the danged USPS gets their head outta their "blind spot" and pays-off on my insurance claim so I can get the 6BR barrel repaired, I'll get to work on this build.

I figured you'd help.

Am I getting that predictable?

Seriously, I help if I can. PM me pics of those barrel threads if you can.
