I have owned this Stevens model 87D .22 for 25 years and my Dad owned it many, many years before that. I bet he fired the heck out of it and I know I put brick after brick of cheap .22LR in my teenage and early 20's years. I haven't fired it 12+ years but recall it was always a tackdriver. Back then I was probably only plinking < 40 yards and not too concerned with groups, just hitting bottles and whatever. It still has this ridiculously skinny Weaver 4x scope on that it always had.
I'm gonna put a new Simmons 4x32 '22 MAG' scope on it and see what it will do soon. Sadly the trigger is a total piece of crap, sloppy loose. Is there anything that can be done to improve the trigger on this model? I think I want to get another 25 years out of the gun! ;D
