    New rifle

    When the scope comes in, call Leupold and have them check the serial number. Unfortunately, I speak from experience. I bought one and after calling Leupold I found out it was a fake, or “clone” as the Chinese patent-stealing market likes to call it. I wasn’t happy.

    Found this rifle on used rack marked down and looks like it is new .Looked up serial number and is a 2012 made date .It was a good deal so I made a offer and come home with it . Had the box and all that comes new with it .

    Those Stevens 200 series rifles are great guns for the money.
